Beyond The Black

Into The Light

Raise Your Head

Wide Awake

Text:
Verse 1
We split the atom, called it light,
a holy spark in endless night.
But every glow leaves shadows deep,
a promise we could never keep.

Pre-Chorus
Steel and silence underground,
ghosts of power, nowhere bound.
Who’ll remember what we’ve done,
when the waste outlives the sun?

Chorus
We heat the water, cool our minds,
call it progress, leave behind
a poison we can’t run away from —
the waste of the sun.

(solo)

Verse 2
Chernobyl burned in '86,
a silent scream the world can’t fix.
Fukushima drowned in waves,
reactors turned to glowing graves.

Pre-Chorus 2
And still they say it’s “safe and clean”,
ignore the tears behind the scene.
The atoms hum, the children run,
from the waste of the sun.

Bridge
No vault can hold forever’s flame,
no warning sign can bear our name.
The future listens, cold and numb —
to echoes of what we’ve become.

Final Chorus (slow and fading)
We heat the water, cool our minds,
call it progress, leave behind…
a shadow that will never be undone —
the waste of the sun.

Outro
(gesprochen, ruhig, fast flüsternd)
Thousands of years…
and the ground still hums.
Long after our names are dust,
the atoms remember.

(sanft gesungen)
We build our towers,
then fade from sight,
our children guard
the ghost of light.

(Sprechpause, dann KI-Stimme oder Echo)
Ten thousand years…
and counting.
The fire sleeps —
but never dies.

Waste of the Sun

A gothic chamber western told in twelve movements of dread and memory.
Glass harmonica and harpsichord echo like wind in an abandoned chapel.
Classical guitar replaces the heartbeat.
A wordless choir rises like a dust storm.
Sometimes a voice whispers.
Sometimes it only breathes.

Motifs return like footsteps you thought you’d escaped
the Raven’s descent
the Lenore lullaby
the pit
the page
the endless corridor of shadows.

This isn’t a soundtrack to a film.
It is the film itself
after everyone has gone home.
