The Obsidian Masquerade

[Intro: Dramatic Orchestral Opening, Heavy Staccato Strings, Distant Thunder] [Verse 1] The velvet curtains fall on a stage of broken glass Mirroring the shadows of a future that has passed We dance in silver armor, beneath a dying moon While violins are weeping a cold and hollow tune Can you hear the thunder? The rhythm of the tide? There’s nowhere left for hollow kings to hide! [Pre-Chorus] [Build-up: Rising Strings and Orchestral Percussion] The cello bleeds a symphony of old In a world where even sunlight’s turning cold [Choir: Sanguis! Fatalis!] The clock is striking midnight in our soul! [Chorus] [Explosive: Heavy Riffs and Full Choir] Rise from the ashes of the silence Break the chains of the obsidian dream! With a thousand voices screaming through the violence We are more than what we seem! Let the heavens shatter, let the oceans roar We’re not the victims of this cosmic war In the heart of the storm, we are the light! [Verse 2] [Chugging Guitar Riffs, Double Kick Drum] Industrial cathedrals, reaching for the gray We sold our golden feathers just to find a better way But the ink is on the parchment, the debt is overdue And the ghost inside the engine is looking straight at you! [Bridge] [Slower Tempo, Operatic Vocal Solo] In tenebris... Lux lucet... [Shouted: FIGHT!] For the memory! [Shouted: BLEED!] For the crown! We will not let the silence pull us down! [Guitar Solo: Neoclassical shredding, high energy] [Final Chorus] [Maximum Grandeur: Full Orchestra and Metal Band] Rise from the ashes of the silence Break the chains of the obsidian dream! With a thousand voices screaming through the violence We are more than what we seem! Let the heavens shatter, let the oceans roar We’re not the victims of this cosmic war In the heart of the storm, we are the light! [Outro] We are the light... [Solo Piano Melody] The masquerade is over. [Whispered] The silence remains. [End]
