Lyrics
Instrumental Intro
A soft, haunting melody builds gradually with atmospheric synths and reverb-laden guitar. A deep, pulsing bass joins, setting a hypnotic rhythm, as layered, echoing drums enter to build tension. The tempo remains slow, creating an almost ritualistic atmosphere.
Verse 1
There’s a silence beneath your skin,
A whisper of fire, dark and thin.
I trace the edges of your name,
Bound in ash, but still the same.
The world fades out, no breath, no sound,
In hollow light, I spiral down.
I’m tethered here, lost within,
A fragile glint on obsidian.
Pre-Chorus
I feel the weight, the slow descent,
A heartbeat lost, a fever spent.
In shadows drawn, I find your trace,
A glimmer faint, in empty space.
Chorus
Glimmers of obsidian in the night,
Echoes fractured, pale and slight.
Pieces of you in broken stone,
Bound in shadows, carved alone.
Instrumental After Chorus
An extended instrumental section with a pulsing bass line and layered guitars that create a repetitive, mesmerizing riff. Drums build steadily, echoing the rhythm of a heartbeat. The guitars slowly intensify, creating a thick, immersive soundscape before easing back down.
Verse 2
You’re the ghost I can’t escape,
A pulse that shivers, taking shape.
Quiet hands that pull me near,
In every ache, in every fear.
Through darkened glass, I reach for you,
But shapes dissolve, the lines untrue.
I slip, I drown, I wear this sin,
The weight of glimmers, obsidian thin.
Pre-Chorus
In hidden depths, the shadows call,
A voice that fades, a spectral thrall.
I sink beneath, yet still you stay,
A fragile spark, in shades of gray.
Chorus
Glimmers of obsidian in the night,
Echoes fractured, pale and slight.
Pieces of you in broken stone,
Bound in shadows, carved alone.
Extended Instrumental Bridge
This section begins with a deep, resonant bass and minimal drums, building gradually as a distorted guitar solo enters, layered with atmospheric effects to create a surreal, almost hypnotic feel. The guitar echoes and swells, weaving through the bassline, while synths add ambient textures. The sound intensifies and then fades, leading into the next verse.
Bridge continued
In the weight of memory’s tide,
Where secrets wait, where shadows bide.
A touch, a breath, I feel it still,
Fading, falling, against my will.
Your voice lingers, soft and low,
Stories buried, silent and slow.
An ache, a scar, beneath the skin,
Eternal glint of obsidian.
Pre-Chorus
In hollow light, the shadows dance,
I feel their pull, a lost romance.
Beneath the stone, beneath the bone,
I find you there, yet still alone.
Chorus
Glimmers of obsidian in the night,
Echoes fractured, pale and slight.
Pieces of you in broken stone,
Bound in shadows, carved alone.
Instrumental Outro with Lyrics
A soft, haunting instrumental with guitars creating a resonant, fading echo, underlaid by pulsing drums and a deep bass that pulses like a fading heartbeat. The melody fades to leave only a gentle ambient hum.
Outro Lyrics
And so I drift, in shadows’ keep,
A ghost between the wake and sleep.
One final spark, a hidden plea,
Glimmers of you, etched in me.
Extended Final Instrumental
The final instrumental lingers, with soft, echoing guitar and ambient synths fading slowly, like an exhale. The drums pulse intermittently, creating a heartbeat effect, while a low bass drone fades in and out. The sound gradually dissipates into silence, leaving a sense of lingering melancholy.
