[Intro] [Fast, heavy, bright punishing widescreen J-metal] [Galloping double-kick drive and syncopated palm-muted riffs] [Verse 1] [Fast tempo] [Breathy close-mic vocals turning into layered belts] The trenches are screaming, the shrapnel is loud A ocean of sulfur, a black iron cloud My brothers are falling, the ground starts to bleed But something is changing inside of my head The noise starts to fade, the panic is dead [Slow Acoustic Shift] [Heavy guitars and drums drop out completely] [Sudden transition into another world: Only fast hypnotic Guzheng and Erhu echoes] [Breathy, disoriented vocal whisper] Everything slows down... the world is so still... The smoke turned to perfume... upon the hill... Look at the sky... it’s a beautiful sight... [Pre-Chorus] [Heavy instruments explode back - Searing lead guitar runs into a half-time pre-chorus] [Metallic risers, reverse cymbal swells, heavy chugs] The artillery roars, but I only hear peace! A crimson ballet that will never cease! [Chorus] [Explosive verse-chorus dynamics] [Stacked shouted gang vocals on the hook] (FALLING DOWN! WASH ME CLEAN!) The petals of steel are dancing in the air! A pink cherry blossom storm everywhere! (LOSING MY MIND!) I smile at the fire, I welcome the blade, In this beautiful madness, my fears start to fade! [vocal layered belts and fry-scream edges on the last line] [Verse 2] [Fast tempo continues with continuous erhu shredding] They think that I'm broken, they think that I'm mad But this is the sweetest escape that I've had The shockwaves are hugging me close to the dirt I am so numb that it no longer hurts A soldier of glass in a garden of lead [Bridge - The Contrast] [Total collision: Metal and Tradition fight head-on] [Fast, chaotic, cinematic widescreen space] [Blast beats underneath traditional Japanese bamboo flute and erhu melody] [Metal fusion solo and Guzheng sweep picking battle] [Shouted / Screamed vocals] Is it a crime to find peace in the hell?! I broke the design and I’m under the spell! The bombs are just flowers that bloom in the dark! Leaving a beautiful, permanent mark! [Chorus] [Final widescreen chorus] [Chimes and big tom lifts] [Maximum energy, heavy metal with full traditional instrument collection] (FALLING DOWN! WASH ME CLEAN!) The petals of steel are dancing in the air! A pink cherry blossom storm everywhere! (LOSING MY MIND!) I smile at the fire, I welcome the blade, In this beautiful madness, my fears start to fade! [Outro] [Music runs full speed - sudden acoustic Erhu note fades out in massive reverb] So beautiful... so quiet... just petals... [End]
