Lyrics:

In the city of the drowned, where waters run deep
I sing a requiem, for the world gone to sleep
The echoes of the past, haunting every wave
In this city of the damned, nothing left to save

The bridges and towers, crumbling in the sea
In this city of the lost, nothing left of me
The requiem for a drowned world, never going to end
In the silence of the depths, where broken dreams blend

Requiem for a drowned world, in the city of the lost
Where waters keep the cost, of the secrets they've embossed
The rhythm of the deep, pulling me along
In the requiem for a drowned world, singing my last song

In the abyss of the soul, where the darkness dwells
In the requiem for a drowned world, where the secrets swell
The whispers of the void, echoing in the night
In the city of the lost, where the waters blight

In the requiem for a drowned world, finding my own voice
The courage and the strength, to make my final choice
The secrets of the deep, revealing the truth
In the requiem for a drowned world, where the waters soothe

Requiem for a drowned world, in the city of the lost
Where waters keep the cost, of the secrets they've embossed
The rhythm of the deep, pulling me along
In the requiem for a drowned world, singing my last song

Requiem for a drowned world, in the city of the lost
Where waters keep the cost, of the secrets they've embossed
The rhythm of the dark, pounding in my veins
In the carnival of the forgotten, nothing stays the same

Requiem for the Drowned World

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, Earth, a tiny blue planet on the outskirts of the Milky Way, lies silent, its cities in ruins, its people long gone. As a time traveller and musician, I am drawn to this world, to the echoes of a civilisation that reached for the stars but fell short, consumed by an ambition they could neither control nor fully understand.
Through my music, I seek to capture the essence of this lost era, particularly the turbulent times around 2070, when humanity's fate hung in the balance. Each song is a journey through time, a sonic exploration of the apocalyptic moments when everything changed, guided by the haunting melodies and atmospheric soundscapes that paint a vivid picture of a world on the brink of collapse.
As I wander through the abandoned streets and desolate landscapes, I find inspiration in the remnants of human culture - the unfinished symphonies in empty concert halls, the silence that hangs heavy in recording studios where hit songs were once crafted. The music becomes a conduit for the stories that linger in these spaces, tales of dreams pursued and hopes shattered.
In the rhythms of nature reclaiming the cities, I hear a powerful message - that all things must pass, that even the grandest of human achievements are impermanent. This truth resonates through my compositions, serving as a reminder of our own fragility and the need for humility in the face of the universe's vast mysteries.
Each track  is a warning, a cautionary tale wrapped in sound and emotion. They speak of the paths we may tread if we are not vigilant, the dreams that may crumble if we are not wise. Through music, I forge a connection that transcends time and space, inviting listeners to explore the echoes of a vanished world and heed the lessons hidden within.
Join me on this sonic odyssey through the remnants of Earth's final days, a journey that will leave you questioning our place in the cosmos and the legacy we leave behind. Let the music be your guide as we navigate the ruins of a civilisation that dared to dream big but ultimately succumbed to its own hubris - a fate we must strive to avoid as we venture forth into the unknown.
