Closer to the Void

[Intro — atmospheric pads, distant tribal drums, ethereal female hum] [Verse 1] In the noise of iron hearts, Where rhythm replaces pulse, I hear a silent call — To where the burden dissolves. Through wires and static hiss, Through digital fog and haze, The abyss whispers: "Fly, Here melts your deceitful maze." [Chorus] Closer to the void — I spread my wings open wide. In this mute black devoid, My soul finds strength inside. Closer to the void — No walls, no pain, no chain, In weightless dark I'm buoyed, At last, free again. [Verse 2] Here silence is like ether, You can drink it to the deep, Every breath is a step Into an eternal sleep. But it's not death that calls me, It's freedom from all ties, The void is ringing through me Like music of the skies. [Chorus] Closer to the void — I spread my wings open wide. In this mute black devoid, My soul finds strength inside. Closer to the void — No walls, no pain, no chain, In weightless dark I'm buoyed, At last, free again. [Bridge — voice only, heavy reverb, almost whisper] I'm not falling — I'm flying… I'm not falling — I'm trying To vanish and to be The void, A star, The haze. [Final Chorus — more powerful instrumentation] Closer to the void — Dissolving without fright, I drown in height, destroyed, Shaking off dust and night. Closer to the void — In this eternal motion, I found in the dark devoid My own reflection. [Outro — ethereal vocal fading into silence] Closer… closer… To the void… To the void…
