[Intro] [distorted synth bass growl, heavy kick drum] [staccato synth lead enters, female humming] [Verse 1] [breathy female vocals] (I tend the light) βThe lantern knows what I attained It burns where no one dares remain. The tide speaks words too old to hear, A tongue of salt inside my ear. The buoy bell rings before the swell A warning from an empty shell. White crystals bloom upon my hands, As water moves through backwards sands. (Hmmmmm) (ahhhh) [βPre-Chorus] ("As Above, So Below") βEvery compass bends to dream, Nothing is ever what it seems (Correspondence) The horizon bends in symmetry, As above, so lies the sea. [Chorus] [full industrial beat, belted vocals] (βI keep the light,) Though the light keeps changing me. Stone into salt, Salt into the endless sea. (βI keep the light,) The beacon turns, A flower no human hand can draw. Every circle births another, Every answer breaks a law. (βI keep the light,) [βVerse 2] (The light begins tending me.) βQuicksilver gathers in the lens, Where ancient line and circle bends. Two tides now crash in polar flows, Under a wind that never blows. Fish with mirrored, human eyes Swim beneath impossible skies. The moonlight rises from belowβ The deep has learned the way to glow. β[Bridge] [beat intensifies, distorted synth stabs] βSolve-et... The tower cracks without a sound, The walls fall inward and unwound Every fear I called my own Melts like wax from weathered stone. (βCoagula...) The waves arrange a hidden design, Petals turning out through time. The yellow ember feeds the storm, As spirit takes a timeless form. No master waits beyond the foam, The alchemist was always home. (Hmmmmm) (ahhh) [Chorus] [full industrial beat, heavy bass] The distinction disappears There is no keeperβonly the beacon. ("The gold") βI am the light, I am what answered from below. Lead into gold, By tides no mortal soul can know. (βI keep the light,) The beacon fades, Yet nothing here has truly gone. Every ending lights another, Every night becomes the dawn. (βI keep the light,) [Outro] [Drums stop] [SFX: Ocean waves crashing] [Ambient synth pad] For every wave that greets the land Is carrying an unseen hand... And every lonely beacon waits For someone willing To become... [Sustained vocal reverb] [Hold last note] The flame. [Whispered response] ("The gold") [SFX: Ocean waves and wind] [Sea shore ambience fadeout] [Fade to black] [End]
