Lyrics
(Verse 1)
The song begins with a simple, melancholic acoustic guitar playing a gentle chord progression. The stage is dark, with a single, soft spotlight on Lyra and Azazel, sitting together amidst the ruins.
Lyra - her voice is soft, clear, and childlike
Daddy, tell me, if you please
When will the angels bring us peace?
The sky is dark, the world is gray
Can't we go outside and play?
(Chorus)
The music suddenly explodes into a loud, heavy, and sorrowful rock chorus. A powerful Hammond organ, distorted guitars, and crashing drums enter. Azazel's voice is a powerful, emotional rock tenor.
Azazel
No, come away, my little one!
The battle's lost, the war is won
For them up there, who watch us fall
And now they've come to take it all!
Come away, Lyra... just come away...
(Verse 2)
The heavy music cuts off, returning to the quiet acoustic guitar. Lyra looks up at Azazel, her voice full of confusion.
Lyra
But Daddy, you have never told
Of all the stories new and old
What is a Heaven? What is a Hell?
And why'd the Morning Star have to fall?
(Chorus)
The heavy rock chorus crashes back in with even more pain and power.
Azazel
Hell is a memory, Heaven's a dream!
A wicked and a holy scheme!
A story that the angels sing
To hide the sorrow that they bring!
Come away, Lyra... just come away...
(Guitar Solo)
A soulful and melodic guitar solo plays over the heavy chorus riff. It's not fast or technical, but full of emotion, telling a story of loss and regret.
(Final Verse)
The music returns to the quiet acoustic guitar for the last time.
Lyra
Daddy, please don't look so sad
I promise I will not be bad
I'll learn to fight, I'll learn their lies
And put the fire back in your eyes...
(Final Chorus)
The heavy rock chorus returns for the final time, a massive, tragic, and powerful climax.
Azazel
No, come away, my little one!
The age of innocence is done!
The dawn will bring no second chance
Just the ending of a final dance!
Come away, Lyra... come away...
The song ends with a final, crashing, and sorrowful chord that rings out and slowly fades.
