[Intro – Children's Choir | distant, ethereal]
Close your eyes... don't look behind...Every sleeper leaves a world behind...Cross the silence... cross the sea...Find the one you're meant to be...
Verse I
Every sunset cracks a hidden gate,Silent currents rewrite every fate.While mortal eyes surrender to the deep,Another version wakes beneath your sleep.
No dawn has touched the world they're passing through,Where silent constellations bloom anew.Each sleeping mind becomes a crimson sea,Where tomorrow drowns inside eternity.
Chorus
We are the phantoms—hear the planets bend,Every horizon breaks before the end.Raise every scar into a battle cry,Phantoms don't vanish... they multiply.
Guitar Solo I
(Melodic lead guitar rising into harmonized twin guitars.)
Verse II
They wear your face—but centuries have flown,Building countless lives you'll never own.Some forge empires from forgotten sound,Some guard the silence underneath the ground.
A child's first laugh... a soldier's final breath...A single choice divides a thousand paths.You wake at dawn believing all has gone...Yet fragments follow long after the dawn.
Chorus
We are the phantoms—hear the planets bend,Every horizon breaks before the end.Raise every scar into a battle cry,Phantoms don't vanish... they multiply.
Guitar Solo II + Saxophone
(A soaring lead guitar opens the passage. A lone saxophone answers with an ancient, mournful melody. Both instruments weave together until they become one overwhelming theme before crashing back into massive riffs.)
Verse III
Every nightmare is a distant war,Every miracle an open door.Déjà vu is not a trick of the mind...It's someone else you've almost left behind.
Across the veil they whisper every night,Waiting for the stars to realign.One final sleep will break the endless tide...When both realities collide.
Guitar Solo III
Fast, virtuosic twin guitars climbing relentlessly before collapsing into a crushing breakdown.
Bridge – Latin (Choir + Whisper)
Somnus aperit portas aeternas.Ultra velum ambulamus.Unum spiritum, mille vitae.Phantasmata numquam pereunt... multiplicantur!
(The last word explodes with the full band.)
Verse IV
Then every heartbeat echoes through the skies,A billion dreamers opening their eyes.No walls remain to keep the worlds apart...Infinity awakens in every heart.
No one is lost... no journey was a lie...The endless mirrors finally unify.The names may fade... the echoes never die...We were the Phantoms... all this time.
Final Chorus
We are the phantoms—hear the planets bend,Every horizon breaks before the end.Raise every scar into a battle cry,Phantoms don't vanish... they multiply.
Outro – Children's Choir (very soft, fading into silence)
Close your eyes... the gate is wide...Every dream is still alive...When stars align... you'll cross the sea...The Phantom you have always been... is me...
