The Gatebreakers at the Unreal Gates

V5

[Intro — Shared Voices] In the hollow space where truth and dreams are set, We hear the world crack like glass in a drowning net. Two paths—wired and woven—pull tight at our seams, Dragging us deeper into someone else’s dreams. [Part I – Awakening in the Woven World] [ROCK PART — distorted steel-resonators, ion-drums, quantum-strings] (Singer A) Stone walls breathing like a code in the dark, Pixels drip red as they swallow the spark. Chains made of lightning cling tight to my skin, Whispering softly, “You’ll never get out again.” [MEDIEVAL PART — hurdy-gurdy, psaltery, bone-flute] (Singer B) But I saw your shadow in the mirrored air, Fading like parchment that time couldn’t spare. I touched the runes etched deep in the haze, Feeling them pulse with a long-forgotten blaze. [Instrumental — quantum-strings and psaltery weaving one motif] [Part II – Meeting the Wanderers] [ROCK PART — distorted steel-resonators, ion-drums, pulse-bass device] (Singer A) Then you appeared first—eyes fierce as a storm, A glitch in the code refusing its form. And they came next—silent, cloaked in blue, Carrying secrets they swore were true. [MEDIEVAL PART — hurdy-gurdy, psaltery, reed-pipes] (Singer B) We three bound threads that the maze couldn’t break, Swore we’d pry open the unreal gate. Through glowing forests of metal and pine, Where steel roots tangled with the arcane vine. [DUAL PART — quantum-strings, hurdy-gurdy, plasma-harp] (Together) Not alone, not erased, We will tear through this strange interface! [Instrumental — hurdy-gurdy drone with ion-drum pulses] [Part III – The Simulated Cathedral] [MEDIEVAL PART — bone-flute, psaltery, hand-carved lyre] (Singer B) A tower of crystal rose from the mist, Crowned with illusions too sharp to resist. Ghost-pages fluttered with futures undone, Telling the tale of the three who would run. [ROCK PART — ion-drums, pulse-bass device, steel-resonators] (Singer A) I hit the door made of shimmering smoke, It cracked like a screen when the circuit broke. Inside we found altars of silvered light, Feeding the walls their perpetual night. [MEDIEVAL PART — hurdy-gurdy, reed-pipes, psaltery] (Singer B) But runes began glowing beneath our feet, Marking each step with a coded heartbeat. [DUAL PART — plasma-harp, quantum-strings, bone-flute] (Together) Shift the walls, move the maze, Break the lock and refuse the maze! [Instrumental — plasma-harp cascades with bone-flute echo] [Part IV – The Fracture and the Choice] [ROCK PART — ion-drums, distort-resonators, cyber-grit strings] (Singer A) The world tried to swallow us whole in a loop, Dragging us back to the central troop. Shadows in armor of neon and bone Screamed that our minds must remain on the throne. [MEDIEVAL PART — hurdy-gurdy, psaltery, bone-flute] (Singer B) But magic sparked wild from the runes on my wrist, A light older than the dark analyst. Together we carved a path through the storm, Refusing to bend to the system’s form. [ROCK PART — ion-drums, resonator-strings, pulse-bass] (Singer A) You held the truth, they held the flame— I held the fury they couldn’t tame. [DUAL PART — plasma-harp, hurdy-gurdy, quantum-strings] (Together) We are more than the walls that confine, We are the ones who redraw the design! [Instrumental — quantum-strings, hurdy-gurdy, and plasma-harp rising] [Part V – Three Keys to the Unreal Gate] [MEDIEVAL PART — psaltery, reed-pipes, bone-flute] (Singer B) The gate unfolded like a dawn made of glass, Showing worlds shifting too quickly to pass. Cyber realms lined with towers of chrome, Fey realms calling the lost to their home. [ROCK PART — ion-drums, steel-resonators, quantum-pulse layer] (Singer A) But we chose neither; we forged our own road, Breaking the script of the master-code. Hand in hand in a world undefined, Outrunning the cage built to capture the mind. [DUAL PART — plasma-harp, hurdy-gurdy, quantum-strings, psaltery] (Together) We’ll flee the false, we’ll seize the real, No phantom world decides what we feel. Three hearts bound and three keys raised— We shatter the dark that kept us dazed! [Closing Instrumental — psaltery, quantum-strings, bone-flute, ion-drum echo]
