Word
Male spoken word, delivered in a deep, resonant voice. The delivery is slow and deliberate, with emphasis on each word. In the choruses, the delivery - singing - is graduated, more emphatic and powerful. No musical instruments or melodic elements are present. The soundscape is purely vocal, with a dry, close soundstage, suggesting the intimate setting of the recording. There are no noticeable effects such as reverb or delay. The performance maintains a consistent, unhurried pace throughout, creating a contemplative or dramatic atmosphere. The vocal dynamics are relatively flat, with no significant changes in volume or intensity. The overall production is minimalist, focusing solely on the spoken word.

Lyrics
It is a strong remedy
It drives away fear
It is a pleasant melody
It is a light when nights draw near
It can give courage and strength
It can keep fear far at length
chorus
It depends
On its bearer
On the one who speaks the word
On the one who lets it be heard
It is a strong weapon
It causes pain
It is a stinging lesson
It is unpleasant news again
It can bring you to the ground
It is a cold blade in the heart’s wound
chorus
It depends
On its bearer
On the one who speaks the word
On the one who lets it be heard
It can softly caress
It can suddenly stab
It can lift you from stress
It can tear a heart in half
It can softly caress
It can suddenly stab
It can lift you from stress
It can tear a heart in half
chorus
It depends
On its bearer
On the one who speaks the word
On the one who lets it be heard
