[Vocal: male, resonant prophetic baritone, hypnotic cadence, restrained emotional gravity, explosive spiritual peaks] [Structure: Invocation] I built a temple from reflected light... A thousand versions of my own face spiraling inward through polished glass. [Instrumental Break: deep bass pulse, delay guitar harmonics, sparse tom ritual] [Structure: Focused Performance] Every prayer returned unanswered... So I swallowed the echo and named it god. Gold-veined illusion... crawling upward through the spinal ladder. [Structure: Build-up] Kneel before the mirror. Kneel before the architect. Kneel before the wound pretending to be infinite. [Structure: Anthemic Peak] Cathedral of mirrors... fracturing endlessly... I disappear inside my own reflection. Cathedral of mirrors... mouth full of sunlight... Blind little emperor of an empty kingdom. [Instrumental Break: massive slow riff expansion, polyrhythmic tom escalation] [Structure: Minimalist Breakdown] Halo... becomes hunger. Hunger... becomes gravity. Gravity... becomes worship. [Structure: Rhythmic Ascension] I climbed so high through artificial heavens... I forgot which voice was mine. [Structure: Anthemic Peak] Cathedral of mirrors... fracturing endlessly... Every reflection asking to be believed. [Outro: bass harmonics dissolve into analog drone]
