[Intro]
(Haunting, isolated classical piano melody)
(Distant, eerie wind sound)
(Vocal starts as a fragile, breathless whisper)
Lost in the haze...
Where are you?

[Verse 1]
(Quiet verse, driven by piano and soft cello)
Cold windowpanes reflect the ghost of my smile
I’ve been walking in this labyrinth for a mile
The walls are high, the air is thick with regret
Shackled by the promises that we never met
(Vocal begins to build, adding grit and tension)
The shadows stretch, they crawl across the floor
And I don’t know who I am anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
(Symphonic strings swell rapidly, heavy bass rolls in)
(Vocal shifts to a soaring, dramatic head voice)
I hear the echo of a forgotten name
Is it my savior, or is it my shame?
(Short pause, then a massive drum fill explodes)

[Chorus]
(Full heavy metal instrumentation: crushing guitars and powerful drums)
(Vocal explodes into a powerful, operatic, emotional belt)
Tear through the fog of my soul, break the chains!
Wash away the venom running thick in my veins!
I am drowning in the grey, holding on to the spark
Screaming out your name from the depth of the dark!
(Haunting backing choir echoes: "In the dark...")
Bring me back to life, make me whole!

[Verse 2]
(Guitars drop out, leaving a driving drum beat and dark bassline)
(Vocal returns to a lower, brooding, confident tone)
The silver mist is wrapping tight around my throat
A tragic script that some cruel author wrote
But every scar I hide beneath this velvet dress
Is fighting back against the weight of the emptiness

[Pre-Chorus]
(Strings build up again with rising intensity)
(Vocal arches upward, full of desperation)
I hear the echo of a forgotten name
Is it my savior, or is it my shame?

[Chorus]
(Massive wall of sound: heavy guitars and orchestration)
(Maximal vocal power, passionate and soaring)
Tear through the fog of my soul, break the chains!
Wash away the venom running thick in my veins!
I am drowning in the grey, holding on to the spark
Screaming out your name from the depth of the dark!
Bring me back to life, make me whole!

[Bridge]
(Music stops abruptly, only a slow piano chord remains)
(Vocal is intimate, vulnerable, close to the mic)
I'm so tired of hiding...
(Choral harmony layers softly behind: "Save me...")
Can you see me through the smoke?
(Guitars crash back in one by one, building a massive wall of sound)
(Vocal rises into a high, sustained, operatic belt note)
Let me wake up! LET ME WAKE UP!

[Guitar Solo]
(Melodic, crying, dramatic gothic metal guitar solo)
(Heavy symphonic strings underlying the rhythm)

[Chorus]
(Final, most energetic chorus, intense choir layers)
Tear through the fog of my soul, break the chains!
Wash away the venom running thick in my veins!
I am drowning in the grey, holding on to the spark
Screaming out your name from the depth of the dark!
(High vocal ad-libs overlaying the main melody)
Make me whole!

[Outro]
(Heavy guitars fade out into a lonely piano outro)
(Vocal drops back to a soft, fading whisper)
The fog remains...
But I can breathe.
(Final fading piano chord)
[End]
