Gothic doom metal track with clear contrast between verses and chorus. Slow melancholic verses (60 BPM) with soft piano, atmospheric violin and cello, deep low male vocals with sorrowful growl. Then build into a powerful chorus (88 BPM) — heavy distorted guitars, intense drums, dual vocals: harsh deep male voice and ethereal fragile female voice, haunting and emotional. Female vocals act as backup / ethereal harmonies, floating above male vocals throughout verses, chorus, and bridge. Piano and strings stay present, adding cinematic and tragic beauty. Cold, misty dark mood like a frozen autumn forest at night. Emotional build-up, dramatic contrasts, uplifting yet sorrowful melodies. Inspired by Tristania, Theatre of Tragedy, 1990s gothic doom metal., metal, vocal range and flexibility, male growl vocal, dramatic tension, ambient, kids vocals

Lyrics
The last cold night on dying ground,
In trembling haze I kneel without sound.
No prayers, no tears, no yearning cry,
The days once lived have passed me by.
[Verse 2 – slow doom]
Flickering lights… fading slow,
The mourning wind begins to blow.
[Chorus – heavy doom, male]
I raised the silent snows to flame,
The heavens echoed back my name.
All things ring, all voices blend,
White birds descend — the world shall end.
[Chorus – heavy doom]
Snows… burning…
White wings… turning…
[Verse 3 – slow doom]
The final word upon my breath,
The glass reflects the eyes of death.
The night invites — I can’t deny,
With trembling smile I whisper: “I…”
[Pre-Chorus – build-up]
Where is your peace, your death’s embrace?
All sings, all spins in endless space.
A storm of wings, pale light ascends,
Through dream and void the silence bends.
[Pre-Chorus – build-up]
White birds… ascending…
Dreams… unending…
[Bridge – emotional build-up]
Chaos screams above the grave,
The hollow winds no soul can save.
Mist entwines the lifeless ring,
Whispers low: “Forget… everything.”
[Bridge – emotional build-up]
Mist… surrounding…
Voices… drowning…
[Outro – slow doom]
Upon my shoulders darkness lay,
It thundered cold: “No other way.”
[Outro – slow doom]
Sleep… forever…
No… return…
