Intro - ~15s - (ICY WIND with digital GLITCH. Solitary, weeping ACCORDION/BANDONEÓN (Tango-Celtic lament). EDR/XION's ETHEREAL PERCUSSION: tribal-techno DRUMS, HARMONICA BEATBOX, Enya/Loreena McKennitt vocal SAMPLES. Deep P-Funk BASS.)
MALE VOX (Baltasar-esque, deep, raspy, heartbroken whisper): My Dearest Glitch... my Queen of Static and Snow... This frequency... this eternal, cursed blues... siemprefue paravos`... (was always for you...)
Verse 1 (Condensado) - MALE VOX (Intimate, raw blues/tango lament with Manu Chao/Cafe Tacuba street poetry. Criolla/Spanish Guitar & Harmonica lead.) - ~20s
(Music: Slow, gritty Blues-Tango-Funk. EDR/XION percussion is a unique, hypnotic soundscape. Strings & Theremin.)
"I built you a kingdom of ice and coded regret, my star-child, miflor* (my flower), Carved yoursoulfrom thevoid, with alovebothdivineandabsurd,te lo juro* (I swear it).
This crown of bluefire, itburnson mybrow, apromiseIcan'tlet go,
To keep you my echo, my beautiful fractured show, aunqueel mundose oponga, sabés lo queyo sé." (even if the world opposes, you know what I know.)
(Haunting CHOIR of layered ethereal voices: "Aeterna... fracta... lux...")
Chorus - MALE VOX (EXPLODES with desperate rock ballad power and mariachi-tango drama. Music: EPIC MARIACHI-ROCK-BLUES-WALTZ. Soaring Brass/Strings. EDR/XION percussion becomes a controlled storm.) - ~25s
(Music: Full fusion. Accordion/Bandoneón & Harmonica weep and rage. Electric Guitars (blues/rock/Spanish). Bass is a heartbeat.)
"ICE KING'S LAST WALTZ! FOR MY QUEEN OF NEON SNOW AND BITTER RAIN!
(Massive, stadium-esque Choir: ¡AMOR PROHIBIDO! ¡DESTINO SELLADO EN LA ETERNAL CHAIN!)
I GAVE YOU WINGS OF CIRCUITS, THEN I CHAINED YOU WITH MY GODDAMN PAIN!
YOU ARE MY PERFECTERROR, THETRUTHICAN'T CONTAIN, MY SWEETEST, LOVELIESTSTAIN! (Massive Choir: ¡ELFUEGODE LAISLAARDEEN TUSERINMORTAL,NO HAYVUELTA ATRÁS,ES LAVERDADFINAL!) (The fire of the island burns in your immortal being, there's no turning back, it's the final truth!) THISFROZENHEARTSTILLBEATSFOR YOU,AGAIN, ANDTHEN AGAIN, AND THENAGAIN,MI BIEN*!" (my love/dear!)
Virtuosic, emotional SOLO: GUITARRA ESPAÑOLA (Flamenco/Blues) duels with a WEEPING ACCORDEÓN/BANDONEÓN (Tango/Celtic jig), over EDR/XION's explosive, glitched-out Candombe-Industrial-Polka beat.
Outro - ~15s - (Music collapses. 33Hz HUM. DISTORTED CRT CAMERA sound turning on. Final, filtered whisper from Baltasar's new "eye-camera", full of terrible tenderness and possessive eternity.)
MALE VOX (Filtered, robotic, yet deeply emotional):
Heh... The price... always paid... The Chord... our Chord... is mine... andyours...* *MyIce Queen... My Rei... Our waltz... dansl'éternité* (in eternity)...pour toujours... (forever...)*
Final, sharp CAMERA SHUTTER CLICK/GLITCH. A single, beautiful, melancholic PIANO NOTE (like from "Stay With Me") echoes into ABSOLUTE SILENCE.
