Lyrics: The Unveiling Protocol

I carry a script that can't be read out loud.
A single truth to shatter every vow.
It’s the fault-line sleeping underneath my floor,
A detonation waiting at the door.

I feel the fragile casing finally bend.
When will this silent, private war end?

Every second is a key pressed to the lock.
My mind’s a safe where every tick is a mock.
This heavy silence is the price I pay to keep,
The only secret that I wish would simply sleep.

The walls I built are porous, soft, and thin.
A strange new energy is breaking from within.
They look at me and sense the shifting ground,
The hidden core is now without a sound.

I feel the fragile casing finally bend.
When will this silent, private war end?

Every second is a key pressed to the lock.
My mind’s a safe where every tick is a mock.
This heavy silence is the price I pay to keep,
The only secret that I wish would simply sleep.

(A highly technical, emotional guitar solo over a massive orchestral swell. The orchestration drops in dynamics after the solo to prepare for the final, repeated chorus.)

Every second is a key pressed to the lock.
My mind’s a safe where every tick is a mock.
This heavy silence is the price I pay to keep,
The only secret that I wish would simply sleep.

Unveiling Protocol

Supon Atime is a one-person band project born from the fusion of storytelling and sonic experimentation. The name blends “SUP” (as in “what’s up”) with “Upon a time,” creating a playful yet poetic identity: What’s upon a time? — a question that invites listeners into a world of self-made soundscapes and lyrical tales.
Created by Esdras, Supon Atime exists to share original songs crafted with emotion, depth, and versatility. Each track is designed not just to be heard, but to be used — by other artists, creators, and dreamers seeking inspiration or collaboration. From symphonic metal epics to ambient reflections, the music is a canvas open to reinterpretation.
Driven by a DIY spirit and a passion for musical storytelling, Supon Atime is more than a name — it’s a movement of one, echoing many.
