The Silent Pull

[instrumental intro] (Verse: Slow, drifting) [verse] High... and low... The rafters creak beneath the blue... Cold... and gold... The nylon stretching, pulling through... Stone... and wood... Who knows which one is meant to break? Small... and grand... The heavy choice that we must make... (Chorus: Sudden, crashing) RELEASE! they shout, from the floor... As the shadows reach the door! To the stand, where the pins are set HOLD! they shout, through the heat... In the room where shadows meet! And the song... sings... Through the fires... Black... and blue... The keys are waiting for the touch... Old... and new... We’re asking for a bit too much... Deep... and wide... The map is open to the sea... Nowhere... to hide... From the ghost of the melody... (Chorus: Final peak) SLIDE! they shout, from the side... With the weight of the rising tide! As the hammer hits the string in the silence... STAY! they shout, for the night... In the glow of the light! And the world... fades away... [shred guitar solo] {end}
