The Aversa Chronicles: Zenith of the Inverse

+ Show full styles

[Intro] [Low, vibrating church organ note] [Sudden explosion of drums and orchestral brass] [Fast, neoclassical guitar runs weaving through the melody]

[Verse 1: The Traveler (Lande style – gritty, gravelly)] (The giant ants build cities made of glass and air) (While mice-sized mammoths roar in cages of despair) (I’ve walked the path where gravity is just a ghost) (A weary pilgrim on this strange and hollow coast) (The frozen sun has burned the skin upon my face) (A prisoner of logic in this lawless place)

[Verse 2: The Mentor (Sammet style – high-pitched, melodic)] (Look at the fruit, so jagged, black and full of bile) (It holds the nectar that will make the spirit smile) (While golden apples poison every heart they touch) (You seek for meaning, but you want to know too much!) (To understand, you must forget the world you knew) (Where red is yellow and the emerald sky is blue!)

[Pre-Chorus: Both Male Voices] (We’re falling upwards to the roots of every star!) (To find the secret of the beings that we are!)

[Chorus: Full Cast & Massive Choir] (Aversa! The mirror of a soul that’s torn apart!) (The coldest fire is burning in the hero's heart!) (Where the ugly is the holy, and the night is bright) (We are the blind men searching for the inner light!) (Through the labyrinth of wonder, where the truth is found) (In the kingdom of the silence, where the echoes sound!)

[Bridge 1: The Muse (Amanda Somerville – operatic, angelic)] [Atmospheric breakdown: Harp and soft violins] (Come closer, child of reason, let your senses die) (And see the beauty in the dark and hollow eye) (The meaning isn't hidden in the things you see) (But in the paradox of what you’ll never be!) [Music begins to swell with heavy double-bass drumming]

[Bridge 2: The Paradox (Vocal Counterpoint)] [Lande, Sammet and Somerville singing simultaneously in different melodies] Lande: (The heavy weight of walking down the hill...) Sammet: (The wisdom grows within the quiet and the still...) Amanda: (Aversa calls your name, across the frozen flame...) All: (IT’S ALL THE SAME!)

[Guitar Solo: Dragonforce/Herman Li style] [Insane speed, sweep picking, whammy bar "whinnies", sounds of chaotic mechanical joy]

[Verse 3: The Revelation (All Three)] (The mountain peak is at the bottom of the world) (The flags of madness are the only ones unfurled!) (I see the truth now, in the tiny elephant’s eye) (To truly live, you must be brave enough to die!)

[Final Chorus: Maximum Orchestral Power] (Aversa! The mirror of a soul that’s torn apart!) (The coldest fire is burning in the hero's heart!) (Where the ugly is the holy, and the night is bright) (We are the blind men searching for the inner light!)

[Outro] Amanda: (The rain is warm...) Lande: (The sun is cold...) Sammet: (The story’s told!) [Grand symphonic finale with triple vocal harmony on a high note] [Final Herman Li dive-bomb that fades into a single, low piano note] [End]
