[Title: WE WERE NEVER HUMAN]
[Genre: Cinematic symphonic metalcore, ritualistic choir, orchestral horror atmosphere, shifting dynamics, abstract structure]
[Mood: Ancient transmission. Post-human memory. Sacred collapse. Dream logic.]
---
[STATE I — INVOCATION]
[Almost nothing. Air. Low sub tone. Distant cathedral choir buried in reverb.]
[Choir (barely audible):]
We were here...
Before sound...
Before name...
Before bone learned weight...
[A single bell. Not struck—remembered.]
---
[STATE II — DESCENT]
[Slow emergence of distorted guitar. Not rhythmic yet. Like something waking.]
[Whispered voice (not clearly male or female):]
Do not translate this.
Do not continue if you remember yourself.
---
I found a place where gravity forgot us.
Where the sky was folded inward...
Like skin.
The earth was not below.
It was inside.
---
[STATE III — THE LISTENING]
[Light percussion begins. Choir distant but expanding.]
Something is listening...
Through the walls of time.
It does not speak.
It repeats.
It repeats us.
---
You were not born.
You were retrieved.
---
[STATE IV — FALSE MEMORY]
[Heavy riff appears, but unstable. Stops and starts like corrupted signal.]
I remember a sun that never rose.
I remember water that learned my thoughts.
I remember a name...
That did not survive translation.
---
[Choir (fragmented Latin):]
Ex memoria...
Ex ruina...
Ex silentium...
Nos sumus...
---
[STATE V — BREAK IN REALITY]
[Full aggression begins. Drums unstable. Not standard rhythm.]
The Collapse was not an event.
It was recognition.
The moment the universe realized...
It was being watched.
---
You are not experiencing this.
You are being rewritten by it.
---
[STATE VI — COMMUNION]
[Everything drops into choir + orchestral harmony. Beautiful but unsettling.]
We did not fall.
We were opened.
We did not die.
We expanded.
---
[Choir (clear, central, overwhelming):]
We were never human.
We were the echo...
That learned shape.
---
[STATE VII — FRACTURE]
[Breakdown returns, but fragmented. Screams cut in and out.]
There is no end.
Only correction.
Only return.
Only return.
ONLY RETURN.
---
[Lead scream (breaking):]
STOP CALLING IT A GOD!
IT DOES NOT CARE!
IT ONLY REMEMBERS!
---
[STATE VIII — SILENCE TURNING INSIDE OUT]
[Everything collapses. Then soft choir returns, reversed-feeling.]
You are already inside it.
Even reading this...
Was permission.
---
[FINAL STATE — THE NAME THAT WAS NOT GIVEN]
[Choir only. Extremely soft. Almost gone.]
We were never human...
We were never lost...
We were never—
---
[Silence]
[One final reversed bell tone fades out]
