06.Juliet of Capulet

[Slow, haunting piano and mournful cello] [Verse 1] Shadows crawl across my velvet bed The messenger has spoken, the brutal words are said My cousin's blood is spilled upon the stone And by my lover’s blade, I am violently alone. I tear the silken curtains, I curse the blackened night, How could the one I worship extinguish my own light? Beautiful tyrant! Fiend angelical! A love so divine turned so diabolical! ​[Heavy distorted guitars and thunderous double-kick drums enter] [Pre-Chorus] Torn apart by bloodlines, drowning in the flood! A war of crimson roses, written in my blood! My father’s fierce vendetta, my mother’s wailing cries, I curse your name, my darling, as I stare into the skies! ​[Epic Symphonic Choir and Soaring Soprano Vocals] [Chorus] She is in hell she won't forget, For this is a story of a Capulet! Family crest she must deny, For Romeo is her burning sky! ​[Driving rhythm, staccato strings, and aggressive riffing] [Verse 2] I scream your name into the chilling air! A monster and an angel, a beautiful despair. My family’s pride demands a vengeful tear, But God forgive my treason, I only want you here. Banished from Verona, banished from my sight, Yet the fire of your memory consumes me in the night! ​[Pre-Chorus] Torn apart by bloodlines, drowning in the flood! A war of crimson roses, written in my blood! My father’s fierce vendetta, my mother’s wailing cries, I curse your name, my darling, as I stare into the skies! ​[Epic Symphonic Choir and Soaring Soprano Vocals] [Chorus] She is in hell she won't forget, For this is a story of a Capulet! Family crest she must deny, For Romeo is her burning sky! ​[Tempo slows. Heavy doom-metal riff with a massive pipe organ] [Bridge] Tybalt, forgive me! The shroud is on your eyes. Romeo, I damn you! Yet I cannot sever ties. A paradox of passion, a labyrinth of grief, In this grand macabre theater, I am the willing thief! I steal the poisoned chalice, I wear the crown of thorns, A maiden of the shadows whom the holy sunlight scorns! ​[Neo-classical guitar solo blending into a soaring violin solo] ​[Explosive orchestral climax] [Final Chorus] I am in hell I won't forget! The tragic descent of a Capulet! Family crest I now deny, For Romeo is my burning sky! She is in hell she won't forget, For this is a story of a Capulet! ​[Outro] My burning sky! My beautiful enemy! Come to me... [Heavy guitar chord strikes and rings out] [Fading out with a single, weeping violin]
