2 - The Quiet Crossing (Album: Echoes of the Afterlight)

[Intro – Whispered Elvish | Stereo] (very soft, airy, scattered L/R) Vaelith… na so’rae… Elyra thalen… Nae silvar… oorae ven… Luneth… vae… thir’al… (breath… wind…) [Verse 1] There is a place between the tides Where I no longer need to hide A silent pull I can’t deny Like fading into open sky [Pre-Chorus] No weight, no sound I’m drifting now… [Chorus] I am crossing over quiet seas Where the light dissolves in me No pain, no past to carry on Only what I’m becoming [Verse 2] Every step feels less like me Every breath a memory All I was begins to fade Into something unafraid [Pre-Chorus] No ground, no name Just endless change… [Chorus] I am crossing over silent tides Where the stars begin to rise No edge, no end to what I see Only space surrounding me [Bridge – Elvish Choir + Atmosphere] (layered, soft, ritualistic) Elyra na thalenor… Vaelith en sorael… Lunaria thir’alae… Nae silvaren… (HMMMMM + water + air) [Final Chorus] I am carried by the unseen flow To a place I’ve always known Every part of me set free In the quiet… crossing me [Outro – Whispered Elvish] (fading, distant, almost gone) Vaelith… Nae… silvar… Oorae… (wind dissolves into silence)
