[Key: D minor] [Tempo: 92 BPM] [Timing: 4/4] [PRODUCTION: Wide Stereo, ATMOS, Dolby AVX, Professional mix, Studio Recording] [Mood: meditative, spacious, dark] [Intro: Sparse synth pads, pulsing bass, minimal drum machine beat] [Melody: D, C, A, F, F, F, C, E, F, D] [Instrumental] [VERSE 1: Soft, whispered, ethereal] [Mood: Melancholic, Introspective] [Melody: (D, D, D, F, A, A, A) (A, Bb, A, G, F, E, D, D) (D, D, F, A, A, Bb, A, G) (A, Bb, A, G, F, E, D, D) (D, D, F, A, A, Bb, C, D, D, C, Bb, A) (G, F, E, D) (D, F, A, A, Bb, A, G, F)] [Vocals: Male Baritone, Restrained, Clear with Subtle Vibrato, smooth, controlled, soft] Hello darkness, my old friend. I've come to talk with you again. Because a vision softly creeping. Left its seeds while I was sleeping. And the vision that was planted in my brain, Still remains. Within the sound of sigh-lense.. [VERSE 2: Building intensity] [Melody: (D, D, D, F, A, A, A) (A, Bb, A, G, F, E, D, D) (D, D, F, A, A, Bb, A, G) (A, Bb, A, G, F, E, D, D) (D, D, F, A, A, Bb, C, D, D, C, Bb, A) (G, F, E, D) (D, F, A, A, Bb, A, G, F)] In restless dreams, I walked alone, Narrow streets of cobblestone. 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp. When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light, That split the night.. And touched the sound of sigh-lense. [VERSE 3: Heavy vocal] [Mood: Explosive] [vocals: accusing, poignant] [Instrumentation: Full drum machine, layered synths] [Melody: (D, D, D, F, A, A, A) (A, Bb, A, G, F, E, D, D) (D, D, F, A, A, Bb, A, G) (A, Bb, A, G, F, E, D, D) (D, D, F, A, A, Bb, C, D, D, C, Bb, A) (G, F, E, D) (D, F, A, A, Bb, A, G, F)] And in the naked lite, I saw, Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speakin', People hearing without listenin'. People writing songs that voices never shared, And no one dared.. Disturb the sound of sigh-lense. [VERSE 4:] [Vocals: powerful, direct, decreasing emotional swell, pleading] [Mood: indignant, accusatory, declining intensity so the last line stands alone as a single voice.] [Instrumentation: Stripped back for "Fools", builds through lines] FOOLS!! said I, You do not know! Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you, Take my arms that I might reach you. [Instrumentation: Sudden drop to minimal] But my words, like silent raindrops fell. And echoed in the wells of … sigh-lense... [VERSE 5: Maximum Intensity] [Dynamics: Full intensity] [Vocals: Deep-Baritone, strained, powerful, emotional] [Instrumentation: Full arrangement, maximum layering] And the people bowed and prayed. To the neon god they made. And the sign flashed out its warning. In the words that it was forming. Then the sign said: The words of the prophets, Are written on the subway walls, In tenement halls. … [Outro:] [Instrumentation: Decay to single pad + reverb tail] [Vocals: WHISPER] [Melody: (D, F, A, A, Bb, A, G, F)] And whispered in the sound of sigh-lense..
