[Verse 1] [Instrumentation: Soft piano and delicate acoustic guitar] [Vocal style: Soft, breathy twin sister harmonies] The bathroom mirror holds a ghost The one I’ve feared the very most The cold is creeping, the pulse is slow I’m tired of all the seeds I sow I look to the corner, to the fading light And see you standing in the white of night [Verse 2] [Instrumentation: Tagelharpa drone joins, ethereal synth pads] [Vocal style: Soft, breathy twin sister harmonies] You aren't a monster, you’re just alone A silver statue on a hollow throne I see the sorrow in your steady gaze The weight of all our ending days I’m falling down, but you’re standing near And for the first time, I have no fear [Chorus] [Instrumentation: Acoustic guitar builds, Tagelharpa intensifies] [Vocal style: Soft, breathy twin sister harmonies] Oh, Maiden of the silent grey You’ve watched me lose my own life’s way You wanted to reach, you wanted to stay But you were the night that ended my day I reach out now, my hands are cold Thank you for watching the life I sold [Transition: Intense swell of synth pads, acoustic instruments drop out, crushing doom-metal guitars and heavy war drums ignite—representing the emotional awakening] [Verse 3] [Instrumentation: Heavy doom metal guitars, heavy war drums] [Vocal style: Raw, high-intensity, haunting female wail] I never knew that you could see The endless chain that bound up me For aeons I have held the weight Of every soul, of every fate I’ve watched them all, but you watched back You brought the light into the black The tear I shed, a salty rain To finally feel a human’s pain [Bridge] [Instrumentation: Bass-heavy, slow, pulsating doom metal rhythm] [Vocal style: Overlapping, ethereal, haunting female vocal harmonies] (You cared for me, when no one did) (I felt your soul, the grace you hid) (The conflict ends, the curse is light) (We step away from the edge of night) [Outro] [Instrumentation: Abrupt transition back to soft piano, tagelharpa, and ethereal synth pads; the heavy drums cease, leaving only a heartbeat-like pulse] [Vocal style: Soft, breathy twin sister harmonies] You turn from the dark, you choose to breathe I leave you here, so you can leave The weight is gone, the cycle spun Redemption found, and we are one [Fade to silence]
