(Verse 1 slowly increasing tension with a thundering heartbeat (soundeffects : (echoing vocals)(heavy build up and drop) (loud deep bass)
(Verse 1)
Softly the night unravels,
Silk torn from heaven’s loom;
All of the stars fall silent
At the rising of the gloom.
Under the wounded heavens,
Under the silver ache,
Shadows are born from nothing—
And something old awakes.
(Pre-Chorus)
A tremor in the dark,
A whisper in the bone,
A thousand distant heartbeats
Calling you home…
(Chorus)
Sing low, sing low—
When the Bleeding Moon ascends,
The sky forgets its innocence
And midnight never ends.
Sing low, sing low—
For the crimson tide is near;
When the Bleeding Moon awakens,
There is nothing left to fear…
Only what you hear.
(Verse 2)
Echoes of broken thunder
Stain every trembling tree;
Light bends like shattered glass
Across the haunted sea.
The Moon opens slow as eyelids
Dreaming of what once died,
And spills its ancient longing
Across the world outside.
(Pre-Chorus)
A murmur on the wind,
A shiver through the air—
Something walks behind you,
Soft-footed, bare…
(Chorus)
Sing low, sing low—
When the Bleeding Moon ascends,
The sky forgets its innocence
And midnight never ends.
Sing low, sing low—
For the crimson tide is near;
When the Bleeding Moon awakens,
There is nothing left to fear…
Only what you hear.
(Bridge — Gothic Lament)
Ooooh…
The veil curves thin,
Let the dark seep in;
Ooooh…
The choir of shadows rise,
With hollow, glass-white eyes.
Ooooh…
No mortal breath can flee
The moon’s old gravity…
(Final Chorus)
Sing low, sing low—
When the Bleeding Moon ascends,
The night devours the dawn again
And no one can pretend.
Sing low, sing low—
For the crimson crown is here;
When the Bleeding Moon is watching,
There is nowhere left but fear…
Nowhere left but fear.
