It is time to say goodbye
Dark atmospheric symphonic neo-prog rock unfolds with slow, deep bass and cold, droning guitars drenched in reverb and delay. Sparse, ritualistic percussion enhances a cinematic, immersive texture. Minor key harmonies, baritone or ethereal vocals, and swelling synths evoke tragic, nocturnal beauty with dramatic intensity and introspective, somber moods.

Lyrics
Intro
It is time to say goodbye
It is time for us to come back down
To smother the last flame of the fire
Before I turn to ash and drown
Verse 1
It is time to tear out your trace
To seal our open wounds once more
That still stain your fragile face
In my nights of desert solitude and war
It is time to forget your eyes
Not the darkness of their hue
But the mirror I saw in you
That reflection that was never truly me or you
Chorus
It is time to say goodbye
To break our cursed chains apart
To give each one their own cross to bear
With no promise and no restart
It is time for me
To close myself like a sealed grave
I loved you like a damned soul
Now I must walk away
Verse 2
You rebuild your life with him
Stone by stone you start again
And I stay here a silent ghost
Witness to my own defeat and pain
I can no longer hold the light
Or shine on your return
Your new life already shuts me out
I refuse to be the crack where it burns
Chorus
It is time to say goodbye
To break our cursed chains apart
To give each one their own cross to bear
With no promise and no restart
It is time for me
To close myself like a sealed grave
I loved you like a damned soul
Now I must walk away
Bridge
Forgive me for breaking my vow
The one to stay
Forgive my escape
Forgive me if my distress
Finally drives me out of this night
I swore to be there for you
In the frozen shadow of your love
But this promise consumes me whole
It eats me up night and day above
Verse 3
It is time to stop begging for
The remnants of your affection
To stop dragging myself
Before the walls of your devotion
I cannot be the friend
Who hides his silent scream
Who smiles while you live
Your future right in front of me
Final Chorus
It is time to say goodbye
To break our cursed chains apart
To give each one their own cross to bear
With no promise and no restart
It is time for me
To choose the night over your shadow
I loved you until I sank
Now I rise from the rubble and sorrow
Outro
It is time to say goodbye
Not because I love you less
But because I finally love myself
Enough to break this bond
And let silence save me
End
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
