The Occult Library

Lyrics

Mysterious piano intro
Intimate vocal
Past broken towers worn by sand
Beyond the reach of maps and hands
(Verse 1)
Atmospheric strings
There stands a place no clocks have known
Where silent stars are carved in stone
No kings remain
No empires breathe
Only forgotten centuries
Sleeping there beneath the dust
(Verse 2)
Atmospheric female vocals
Gradual build
Shelves of shadows line the halls
Names still living
Fretless bass enters
Kingdoms fallen
Songs unborn
And vanished skies
Lives abandoned frozen still in time
Every answer ever found
Every truth still waiting now
(Pre-Chorus)
Strings slowly emerge
Cosmic tension rises
I came to ask one question only
But silence answered first
(Chorus)
Modal vocal ornamentation
Progressive orchestral build
Large cinematic climax
Massive layered vocal
Inside the library beyond the stars
I watched forever open in my hands
Every road
Every loss
Every life I could become
The deeper I walked into endless light
The less I understood
(Verse 3)
I found a book that held my name
Its pages moved beneath my hands
Every choice I'd never make
Every love I'd fail to save
I closed the cover trembling still
Some doors survive because they're sealed
(Bridge big instrumental)
Instrumental progression
(Bridge vocal)
Knowledge rose like endless fire
Burning wonder from my eyes
What is meaning without mystery
What remains when nothing hides
(Final Chorus)
Large emotional climax
Inside the library beyond the stars
I left forever on its shelves
Some truths belong beneath the dark
Not every light was made to hold
Reflective Orchestral Outro
(Outro)
Quiet reflective ending
One empty chair
One silent hall
One final page
Unread
