My Last Breath
folk, Sweeping symphonic gothic metal; slow, ominous intro with distant wolf howl and solo piano, then strings and choirs swell into a massive wall of guitars. Male and female vocals trade verses; chorus unites them in soaring harmonies. Double-kick drums and chugging rhythm guitars under a spine-chilling, choir-laced chorus. Mid-song, a melodic twin-guitar lead blooms into a virtuosic solo over modulating strings before the final, brutal-yet-beautiful refrain., male vocals, female vocals, gothic metal, emotional, beautiful

Lyrics
Intro
wolf howl in the distance
Soft snow on graves
Pale moon on stone
Your shadow moves
I am not alone
Piano bleeding
Each note a scar
You drink the dark
I chase the stars (oh)
Verse 1
(Male)
I wear the curse
On teeth and bone
I tear the sky
To call you home
Your crimson eyes
My ruined skin
You taste the death
I hold within
Pre-Chorus
(Female)
You are the hunger
I am the thirst
We cling to each other
Like blessing and curse
(Male)
Every full moon
I lose control
Still you stand
Inside the storm
Chorus
(Both)
My last breath
I give to you
If the dawn takes me
Let the night take you too
Tear out my heart
Let it die in your chest
If I fall to the flames
Hold on to my last breath
Verse 2
(Female)
I walk through time
On shattered glass
I watched my lovers
Turn to ash
You break the chains
With quiet hands
A wounded beast
Who understands
(Male)
Your kiss is poison
Cold and slow
But when it burns
I feel whole
Pre-Chorus
(Female)
I hear your howl
Under church bells
Your name is written
On my hells
(Male)
If hunters come
Let them come for me
I’ll stain their silver
So you walk free (hey!)
Chorus
(Both)
My last breath
I give to you
If the dawn takes me
Let the night take you too
Tear out my heart
Let it die in your chest
If I fall to the flames
Hold on to my last breath
Bridge
beautiful guitar solo over rising strings
(Female, soft)
Will you remember
When my veins grow quiet
When the world grows bright
And the dark turns silent
(Male, rising)
Will you remember
When my bones are dust
When the wolves grow tired
Of guarding us
Chorus
(Both, soaring)
My last breath
I scream for you
As they drag me bleeding
Through the breaking blue
If I must burn
Let your kiss be my death
Brand your sorrow on my soul
With my last breath
Outro
(Male)
Moonlight fading
Blood on snow
(Female)
I close your eyes
I won’t let go
(Both, almost a whisper)
Between the grave
And what comes next
I wait in your darkness
On my last breath
