0:00 – 0:38 | Intro – strings only, heartbeat kick drum]
(Instrumental, distant piano arpeggios under falling-chandelier chimes)
[0:38 – 1:12 | Verse 1 – low & breathy]
In a hall with no doors, no dawn, no mercy
you draw the bow across the bones of my mercy
Every string is a vein you once kissed open
Every note is the name you let die unspoken
I waltz alone on marble cracked by centuries
White lace dragging ghosts of our old victories
You never truly left this place
You only became the silhouette that lifts the baton of space
[1:12 – 1:40 | Pre-Chorus – choir enters softly]
Crystal chandeliers crash in slow motion
keeping time with the last of my devotion
You smile from the balcony, pale and cruel
a conductor who burned the final page of the rule
[1:40 – 2:18 | Chorus 1 – first high soar, belt begins]
PhantomOrchestra, play me again
Shatter my ribs into stardust and sin
Let my voice rip the roof from this tomb
Let it scream through the heavens that forgot my perfume
Our love is a requiem never allowed to close
You signed every bar with the blood of a rose
And I still reach the note you carved in the sky
Even when my lungs have long waved goodbye
[2:18 – 2:48 | Post-Chorus – instrumental swell, harp + violins crying]
[2:48 – 3:22 | Verse 2 – darker, almost spoken over cello]
Black roses grow where your fingers once bled on the keys
Each thorn whispers “forever” then laughs as it leaves
You promised eternity in a single breath
But eternity here is just the scent of slow death
I kiss your shadow on ivory gone cold
It tastes like the moment a heart is sold
Sharp, sweet, and bleeding; exactly like us
[3:22 – 3:50 | Bridge 1 – voice cracks, half-whisper]
You ask through the wind why I still remain
when even the moonlight has forgotten your name
I answer in silence you’ll never unhear:
“Because only in ruins can I still feel you near”
[3:50 – 4:30 | Chorus 2 – higher, fuller orchestra, choir joins]
PhantomOrchestra, tear me apart
Set fire to the strings of this hollow heart
Let the flames climb the curtains of my wedding-white lace
Let my scream be the prayer that burns this whole place
I died the night you stopped believing the song
But I live every time the melody drags me along
[4:30 – 5:05 | Epic Instrumental Break – guitar solo over 80-piece orchestra, timpani thunder, glass harmonica wails]
[5:05 – 5:40 | Final Chorus – vocal pinnacle, extreme high belt + falsetto layering]
PhantomOrchestra, consume me alive
Turn my ashes to notes only angels derive
Let my voice become lightning that splits the black sky
Let the universe tremble and finally ask why
I was born to be broken across your refrain
I will die on the highest note of your name
And when silence falls heavy and thinks it has won
I’ll still be singing…
because you never stopped the song
[5:40 – 6:00 | Outro – single soprano holds an endless A6 over decaying orchestra]
And if one day you return to this grave
You’ll find me still dancing
on the string
you never
cut…
[6:00 – silence,then a sing]
CrimsonRequiem
