Eclipse of Silence

(Verse 1)

Is this the waking dream?

Caught between the dusk and dawn’s embrace

Shadows whisper secrets in my mind

I chase the ghosts I cannot face

(Pre-Chorus)

Mama, feel the echo of my sin

I sold my breath to twilight’s hymn

Now I tremble in the hollow night

Yearning for the fading light

(Chorus)

Oh, fate—release me from this cage

Beneath the silver moon I stand

Would you judge me for my rage?

Or guide me with a gentle hand?

(Operatic Interlude)

(Layered voices, choir of angels and devils)

Angels: “Redeem him?”

Devils: “Condemn him!”

Choir: “Will he rise or fall?”

Mercy: “Grant him grace!”

Wrath: “Eternal shame!”

Choir: “The answer lies beyond the walls”

(Crescendo into guitar flourish)

(Rock Section)

So you think you’ll break my spirit—

Watch me rise from ash and bone

Feel the fury of my heartbeat

In thunder’s roar I stand alone

(Bridge)

No regrets remain within my soul

A shattered past, a future I’ll control

From silent tears, a fire ignites

I’ll burn away the lingering night

(Outro)

Is this the waking dream?

Or am I finally free?

Eclipse of silence fades—

Into the dawn of me
