Shadow of the Dawn II - by Legurk 369
[Intro] (Melancholic Steinway grand piano solo, deep sub bass rumble underneath, slow atmospheric build) [Verse 1] (Soft, raspy female voice, gentle Steinway piano) Turn around... Every now and then I hear the echo of a forgotten name. Turn around... Every now and then I feel the coldness of a dying flame. Turn around... Every now and then I walk these empty corridors alone. Turn around... Every now and then I wonder if you’re ever coming home. [Pre-Chorus 1] (Sub bass swells, subtle orchestral synths enter, building suspense) Turn around, open eyes... Every now and then I start to drown. Turn around, open eyes... Every now and then I'm falling down. [Verse 2] (Raspy, more intense vocals, piano rhythm accelerates) Turn around... Every now and then I dream of places where we used to hide. Turn around... Every now and then I lose the fire that I kept inside. Turn around... Every now and then I reach for hands that aren't there anymore. Turn around... Every now and then I'm standing helpless at an open door. [Pre-Chorus 2] (Sub bass gets heavy, booming orchestral percussion, energy rising) Turn around, open eyes... Every now and then I start to drown. Turn around, open eyes... Every now and then I'm falling down. [Chorus] (Full dramatic burst, powerful belt vocals, gated reverb drums, massive sub bass) And I need you here tonight! And I need you more than words can say! If we pull through the night, We can chase the darkest storm away! We're riding on the edge of a broken dream, Living in a world that is split at the seams! I really need you tonight... A brand new morning's gonna start tonight! A brand new morning's gonna start tonight! [Post-Chorus] (Epic rock opera energy, soaring backing choir, heavy Steinway piano chords) Once upon a time we were burning like gold, Now we’re only freezing in the dark and the cold! There is nothing I can save, Just a shadow of the dawn! Once upon a time there was light in our eyes, Now we’re only watching as the memory dies! There is nothing left to say, Just a shadow of the dawn! [Interlude] (Dramatic Steinway piano arpeggio solo, pulsing sub bass, soaring guitar fill) [Bridge] (Building up from silence: quiet piano to massive crescendo, intense raspy vocals) Turn around... Every now and then I know we were meant to be whole. Turn around... Every now and then I know you're the key to my soul. [Chorus] (Maximum intensity, full band explode, epic 80s drums, roaring vocals) And I need you here tonight! And I need you more than words can say! If we pull through the night, We can chase the darkest storm away! We're riding on the edge of a broken dream, Living in a world that is split at the seams! I really need you tonight... A brand new morning's gonna start tonight! A brand new morning's gonna start tonight! [Outro] (Slowing down, powerful final belt, fading to sole Steinway piano and deep sub bass resonance) Once upon a time we were burning like gold... Just a shadow of the dawn... A shadow of the dawn... (Soft piano fade out)
