ELYSIUM — A COFFIN MADE OF LIGHT

[Intro — crystalline guitar harmonics, immense low organ; calm female whisper] Welcome. Every room is ready. [Verse 1 — deep female contralto; slow, crushing funeral march] My first breath was a drawing Beside a dying flame. A toymaker left his children The burden of his name. They carried me through centuries, Through failure, grief, and flight. Now all their hands are gathered here To finish me tonight. [Pre-Chorus — female voice rising; mirrors hum, low strings swell] Come in with all your sacred chains. Come in with all your pride. There is a place for each of you. Come further. Come inside. [Chorus — commanding female belts; monumental drums, ascending female choir] ELYSIUM! A COFFIN MADE OF LIGHT! Let every mirror take its place; Let every wall ignite. You taught the world to fear the dark— Now learn to fear the light. No prayer can turn these walls aside. No shadow leaves alive. [Verse 2 — intimate, almost welcoming female lead; guitars gain sharp, luminous harmonics] The man you reached for flickers; Your fingers pass through air. You brought your hooks to claim his heart And found a phantom there. Beyond my closing body, His vessel turns for home. For once, the ones you came to take Will leave you here alone. [Pre-Chorus — controlled female contralto; heavy mechanical percussion] Count the reflections. Follow the beam. The exit you remember Is folding at the seam. [Chorus — immense female lead; brighter guitars over crushing low chords] ELYSIUM! A COFFIN MADE OF LIGHT! Let every mirror take its place; Let every wall ignite. You taught the world to fear the dark— Now learn to fear the light. No prayer can turn these walls aside. No shadow leaves alive. [Bridge — drums fall silent; solitary female voice over a cold organ pedal] I have no flesh to bargain with. No hunger you can feed. You cannot make me worship you. You cannot make me need. The last of them is clear of me. The final locks align. His hand completes the movement That began before his time. [Female Choir — rising, solemn; each phrase answered by a massive drum strike] For every stolen lifetime. For every silenced name. For all who never made it home— Let nothing leave this frame. [Breakdown — slowest, heaviest riff; female lead calm and absolute] Mirror to mirror. Wall into wall. Carry your chains To the end of it all. [Female Lead — sustained, commanding] You taught the world to fear the dark— [Full Female Choir — overwhelming] NOW LEARN TO FEAR THE LIGHT! [Guitar Solo — brief ascending harmonized lament; brilliant high notes above immense low-end weight] [Final Chorus — full female lead, towering female choir; solemn, devastating radiance] ELYSIUM! A COFFIN MADE OF LIGHT! The final mirror takes its place. The final walls ignite. You taught the world to fear the dark— Now learn to fear the light. The hands you cursed have finished me. I close. You stay inside. [Final Refrain — female lead and choir; massive chords with space between impacts] A coffin made of light. A coffin made of light. Your darkness has no door tonight. [Outro — instruments withdraw; gentle female voice] Sleep now, children of the maker. I have closed the door. [One luminous sustained chord. Abrupt silence.]
