Where I Die
Melancholic progressive rock ballad with a cinematic build. Male lead vocals, warm and expressive, ranging from soft whispers to full-throated emotional peaks. Voice should show fragility, natural vibrato, occasional rasp and falsetto. Dynamic shifts in intensity. [Verses] are stripped with clean guitars and ambient textures; [choruses] grow wide with layered guitars, deep bass, drums, and synth pads. Use subtle odd time signatures and key modulations. Instrumentation: electric guitars (clean + slightly overdriven), bass with melodic phrasing, atmospheric synths, ambient piano, and dynamic drums (soft brush patterns evolving into deep, resonant hits). Moody, introspective, and emotional tone. No country or folk character; instead, grounded in Scandinavian/European prog aesthetics.

Lyrics:
This is the end
Taking me closer to eternity
I hope the time you had was enough for what you lived for
I can only say I’m sorry
My heart feels so heavy
I gave it all, just to stay by your side
But slowly my mind fades away, to join the rest
I wish I had died without pain
But now I know I can’t escape
I’m so sorry
I’m drowning in sorrow
Raising my hands in hope and despair
This is where I die...
Where I die...
They say there’s no heart
In me
Soulless,
Or so they say
But since I found you
I’ve understood I’m more than what they say
I didn’t mean to hurt you, but I had to
If only I could say!
I'm sorry...
But my time will soon be over...
Oh, my friend...
This is where I die!
If only I had a chance to see one more dawn
If only I had time to bid you farewell,
my dear friend
This is where I die...
Where I die...
Where I die...
Where I die...
