[BPM: 137] [Key: A major] [Intro: 32 bars | atmospheric swells, sparse guitar chimes, tape hiss, no drums] [Verse 1: 32 bars | low chest voice, driving bass pulse, steady kick] We wake beneath the velvet shroud tonight Where ghosts of silver find the crowded path The mountain climb is steep and very wide The valley whispers of a distant past [Chorus: 16 bars | full belt, layered harmonies, wide arena sound] Oh call the wind to carry me away (carry me) Beyond the bounds of what we see today (we see) Across the reach of every open sky To watch the golden embers start to fly [Verse 2: 32 bars | moderate energy, crisp room mic drums, bluesy guitar licks] The embers glow inside the fading fire The seeds we plant upon the rocky ground The wheel of time begins to slowly turn We bathe the shadows in a holy light [Chorus: 16 bars | full belt, stacked harmonies, crashing cymbals] Oh call the wind to carry me away (carry me) Beyond the bounds of what we see today (we see) Across the reach of every open sky To watch the golden embers start to fly [Bridge: 24 bars | slow build, tremolo guitar, rising tension, room noise] Beyond the heavy iron garden gate We leave behind the heavy shifting weight The spirit rising in the golden glow To watch the rivers ebb and start to flow [Climax: 32 bars | powerful peak, soaring high-register tenor wails, driving full band] [Outro: 20 bars | resolution, gentle guitar feedback, fading room tone]
