[Intro — no drums; pads + reverse piano]
quiet rasp, fine filament thread,
match-breath struck in a choir of lead.
A single pinprick pulse, keep it under,
Let the midnight kneel to muted thunder.
[Verse 1 - lead airy; minimal synth; bass filtered; no snare]
cinders orbit under-skin,
hushed green groves cave inward. in.
i fast from noise, unspool the grid,
bleach the spectrum, guard the lid.
brine on tongue, soot in chest,
open hands. emptied. blessed.
[Pre-Chorus — heartbeat kick; distant choir swell; tension lift]
threadlight through the ribcage seam,
cleaves the dark without a scream.
i do not chase; i’m being found,
face to dust, ear on the ground.
[Chorus — wide harmonies; sub; pads; bigger reverb tails]
silent thunder—
hollow-hearted, bright and burning.
sacred hunger—
turn me, keep me, I am learning.
break me open, let me breathe;
cast me into what you believe.
silent thunder—
Swallow whole what you achieve.
[Verse 2 — ticking perc + shimmer guitar + ghost pads]
ash-stars hover; heart alights,
dawn writes fire across the nights.
no molded thing can host this flame,
no silhouette can net that name.
veils go embered, stitch by stitch;
mercy’s fierce, the hinges pitch.
[Pre-Chorus 2 — tight; brief snare ghost; anticipation]
blade of brightness, gentle, clean,
cuts the marrow from the sheen.
i do not speak; i’m spoken through—
hollow mouth with heavier truth.
[Chorus — thicker bass; vocal doubles; widen stereo]
silent thunder—
hollow-hearted, bright and burning.
sacred hunger—
turn me, keep me, I am learning.
break me open, let me breathe;
cast me into what you believe.
silent thunder—
Swallow whole what you achieve.
[Bridge — hush then swell; slow rise; ghost-choir]
teach my bones the narrow art,
fracture pride, anneal the heart.
coach the ash to vowel-sings;
let the cinders ferry springs.
if any strength is left in me,
let it live as gravity.
[Trap Rap Break — halftime feel; 808 sub tight; stutter hats soft; keep pad/choir bed from chorus; mild vocal distortion]
Threadlight sliding through the ribcage seam
Switchblade gleam makes the black air steam
Ground-hum beacon locks me in a beam
Eyes shut open on a wordless dream
Chest keeps humming with a silent thunder
Holy hunger in the middle pulls me under
Veils go ragged, old vows split asunder
Dirt says hush while the stars say wonder
Dawn writes lines of fire; signs your name
No shadow scaffolds ever hold that flame
Break this casing; let the bones make frame
Breath turns ember into living claim
Temper my metal till the edge grows brave
Pride gets buried like a blade in grave
Your gravity gathers every stray wave
Silent thunder in my chest: now save
[Final Chorus — towering/reborn]
silent thunder—
write your fire across my silence.
tender wonder—
tame my will without its violence
i am ember, i am flame;
shape me, spend me, sign your name.
silent thunder—
hold me close and make me brave.
[Outro - instrumental]
