Lyrics
PRELUDE: 0:00 - 0:40
Elements: Somber violin tremolo at 50 BPM, A minor, 4s reverb, sacred vibe. Organ drone, timpani roll, mirror hum (1x, 10s). Crystal chime, faint sob.
Vocals: Male, hushed, 3s reverb.
Glass… holds… peace…
VISION I: 0:40 - 1:10
Elements: Strings glide, harp shimmers, oboe weeps, timpani pulses. Crystal chime (1x), breeze sigh.
Vocals: Male, tender, 3s reverb.
In the mirror’s gaze, a garden blooms…
Light bends soft, no trace of doom…
Rivers sing, their waters clear…
Eden’s heart beats free of fear…
[Non-verbal:] Ahh… mmm… (3s reverb, reverent hum)
ABYSS: 1:10 - 1:50
Elements: Tempo spikes to 80 BPM, guitars grind, drums crash, strings shriek. Flame roar (1x), stone crack.
Vocals: Male, anguished, 3s reverb.
Turn my head, the world’s a pyre…
Skies bleed ash, choked with ire…
Screams carve scars where hope decays…
Hell’s cold grip steals breath away…
What… is… true…?
SHATTER: 1:50 - 2:10
Elements: Strings soften, guitars fade, organ moans. Mirror hum (1x), glass creak.
Vocals: Male, whispered, 2s reverb.
Glass or world, which holds my fate?
One’s a lie, one’s my weight…
Am I the seer, or the seen?
VISION II: 2:10 - 2:40
Elements: Harp returns, strings soar, timpani thunders, oboe cries. Breeze sigh (1x), stone crack.
Vocals: Male, desperate, 3s reverb.
Back to glass, the Eden calls…
Its calm a balm for my soul’s thrall…
Yet turning back, the flames arise…
Truth or dream, my mind’s disguise?
[Non-verbal:] Ohh… hah… (3s reverb, broken sigh)
ABYSS: 2:40 - 3:00
Elements: Guitars roar, drums pound, strings wail, organ surges. Flame roar (1x), glass creak.
Vocals: Male, soaring, 3s reverb.
Glass of Eden, you mock my sight…
Hell’s my home, or heaven’s light?
Torn between, I scream my plea…
Which is real, the glass or me?
DISSOLVE: 3:00 - 3:10
Elements: Strings fade, organ softens, mirror hum (1x). Crystal chime fades.
Vocals: Male, soft, 3s reverb.
Seer… fades… in… doubt…
Effects: Mirror hum, silence.
