The Silence Between Tides (Edit)

[Intro – Spoken lead / whispered backing] No winds blow here… We see no moon… No stars… no skies… All that we have left… Is the weight of the waves… And the patient tides… [Verse 1 – Clean baritone lead / whispered backing] Glowing halls in the endless black (lights in the grave) Steel corridors where echoes crack (what we must save) Glass sweats cold as currents collide (the deep will hide) Our lungs learn peace in the silence between tides (no gods outside) [Verse 2 – Growl lead / clean backing] Walls that breathe with the ocean’s sway (A world unknown) Singing hymns where the light won't stay (Are we forever alone?) We kneel in vaults where the waters crown A cathedral of pressure in the halls of the drowned (the halls of the drowned) [Chorus 1 – Clean lead / prophet-style chant backing] In the silence between tides We are shadows — in depths bound No sun, no shore, no choosing sides Only the cost of what we lost… And the darkness all around!! [Verse 3 – Growl lead / whispered backing] The hum of pumps, of breathing beams (It keeps us whole) Silent hands mending wounded seams (body and soul) Beyond the veil where the hull-lamps sleep (we drift, we creep) We cross the plains where the currents sleep (the currents sleep) [Verse 4 – Clean lead / growl backing] Here the sea dreams slow and vast (we dared to roam) Ghosts of ships in the shadows pass (they find no home) We hear the groan of the ocean’s spine In the stillness deep where the black tides twine (the black tides twine) [Chorus 2 – Growl lead / clean harmony] In the silence between tides We are shadows — in depths bound No sun, no shore, no choosing sides Only the cost of what we lost… And the darkness all around!! [Bridge – Spoken/growl alternating] Voices hum through the iron skin… The deep remembers where we’ve been… Glass holds the breath we cannot lose… The ocean takes what it will choose… [Verse 5 – Clean lead / whispered backing] Some did not make it when the deep doors closed (their watch undone) Some drift alone where the black sea froze (no rising sun) Their names are stones in the weight below (they fade slow) In the silence between tides, they’ll go (the silence knows) [Breakdown – Growl lead / chant backing] Cathedral of pressure! (We kneel to its crown) Cathedral of pressure! (In the halls of the drowned) Cathedral of pressure! (The deep does not sleep) Cathedral of pressure! (Where the currents keep) [Final Chorus – All vocals layered] In the silence between tides We are shadows — in depths bound No sun, no shore, no choosing sides Only the cost of what we lost… And the darkness all around!! [[Outro – Spoken lead / faint chant backing] No wind here… no moon… no sky… But lights still burn in the black. We count our hours in the hum of the walls, in the slow turning of the deep. The weight of the tides will hold us… until they remember our names. And when they do… we will rise.
