1Verse 1
(A dark, brooding guitar riff with a slow, driving drum beat. The bassline is heavy and ominous.)
The world outside was monochrome, a canvas washed in grey.
You offered color in the gloom, a debt I’d have to pay.
A whisper in the quiet dark, a shadow on the wall,
You promised fire, left a mark, and watched me start to fall.
The fruit was ripe, the taste was sweet, a moment of pure bliss.
A fleeting warmth against the cold, a serpent's promised kiss.
I knew the cost, I heard the warnings, but the voice inside was mute,
I swallowed down the bitter truth, and savored the forbidden fruit.
Chorus
(The music swells dramatically. A full choir-like operatic vocal joins the lead singer, with soaring strings and more powerful percussion.)
Oh, the weight of a fallen crown! The bitter taste of a sinner's tears!
A single moment drags me down through an endless stream of lonely years!
The serpent’s echo fills the void where once my innocence took flight,
A symphony of dreams destroyed, in the unforgiving, endless night!
Each breath I take is now a lie, a chain I forge around my soul,
A silent scream, a whispered cry, and I can never be made whole!
Verse 2
(The music returns to the verse's main riff, but with more urgency and a sense of regret.)
The color that you promised me, it faded to a stain.
Just shades of what I used to be, a haunting, dulling pain.
The mirror shows a stranger's eyes, reflecting back a lie,
A paradise of broken ties beneath a suffocating sky.
I pace these empty, hollow rooms, with ghosts that sing my name,
A solitary world of doom, consumed by a forgotten flame.
I try to wash away the wrong, but the mark is etched in deep,
A tragic verse within a song, a secret I must keep.
Chorus
(Full operatic chorus and music return, even more intense than before. The guitars are heavier, the drums are more forceful.)
Oh, the weight of a fallen crown! The bitter taste of a sinner's tears!
A single moment drags me down through an endless stream of lonely years!
The serpent’s echo fills the void where once my innocence took flight,
A symphony of dreams destroyed, in the unforgiving, endless night!
Each breath I take is now a lie, a chain I forge around my soul,
A silent scream, a whispered cry, and I can never be made whole!
Bridge
(The music softens to a single, melancholic piano melody and a distant, echoing guitar line. The vocals are soft, almost a whisper.)
What was it for? The fleeting high? The momentary thrill?
A foolish choice to say goodbye, to the person I could still…
...be. If I had turned away. If I had walked a different path.
Now every single night and day is haunted by the aftermath.
Guitar Solo
(A soaring, melodic and emotional guitar solo, combining the dark tone of the verse with the dramatic feel of the chorus.)
Outro
(The music fades, with the operatic vocal repeating a single, haunting phrase, fading into nothing.)
...Never be made whole... never be made whole... never be made whole...
