(Intro)

(Atmospheric, dark synth pad fades in. A heavy, distorted 808 sub-pulse thumps twice. Silence.)

(Whispered, female vocals)

The shadow isn’t an ending... it’s a cocoon.

(Sudden explosion of drums—syncopated, stop-start djent riff)

(Verse 1)

(Male vocals, low guttural growl)

DRAGGED THROUGH THE ASH OF A THOUSAND YESTERDAYS

(Stop)

(Male vocals, frantic mid-range scream)

EVERY MEMORY A FEATHER TURNED TO LEAD

(Female vocals, raspy whisper-scream)

We decorate the void with neon scars

(Bass drop, massive 808 impact)

(Male vocals, soaring scream)

WE ARE THE ARCHITECTS OF THE UNSEEN!

(Pre-Chorus)

(Clean, ethereal female vocals floating over a haunting piano melody)

The blackest ink writes the brightest lines

We’re tracing the edge where the starlight dies

(Male vocals join in a low, gritty harmony)

Don't let the silence swallow the fire...

(Chorus)

(Dual vocals, soaring and melodic, huge wall of sound)

BEYOND THE VEIL, THE LIGHT IS STILL ALIVE

IN THE GOTHIC HEART, WE LEARN TO SURVIVE

(Stop-start rhythmic chugs)

FRACTURE THE DARKNESS!

LET THE NEON BLEED THROUGH!

(Female high soprano harmony)

I’m finding the beauty in the broken and the blue!

(Verse 2)

(Male vocals, rapid-fire staccato barks)

STAINED GLASS VISION / SHATTERED BY THE WEIGHT

(Stop)

PICK UP THE PIECES / IT’S NEVER TOO LATE

(Female vocals, ghostly melodic layering)

Like broken crayons, we still color the sky

(Male vocals, deep guttural)

STILL ALIVE / WE REFUSE TO DIE!

(Bridge - The Shattering)

(Music cuts to a lone, eerie music box melody. Ambient static grows.)

(Female vocals, spoken word, intimate)

They call us the forgotten. They call us the lost.

(Whisper grows into a piercing scream)

BUT THEY DON’T KNOW THE STRENGTH IT TOOK TO STAY!

(The most brutal, slow-tempo breakdown begins. Downtuned, dissonant bends.)

(Male vocals, ultra-low guttural)

S H A T T E R / T H E / C O C O O N

(Mechanical glitch effects and sub-bass slams)

R I S E / F R O M / T H E / D U S T

(Outro)

(Clean, soaring female vocals over fading industrial pads)

The neon is glowing...

(Male vocals, raspy whisper)

The light is coming home.

(Final crushing 808 hit. Silence.)
