Lyrics:

In Montmartre's lament, a story unfolds
Brushstrokes of mystery, secrets untold
Through winding streets, I wander and explore
In this artist's haven, a tale to uncover
The weight of history, etched in every stone
In Montmartre's sorrow, I walk alone

A flock of pigeons, guiding my way
Through the ruins of yesterday, they lead me astray
To a statue, enigmatic and still
In Montmartre's heart, a mystery to fulfill
The whispers of the past, echoing in the air
In this haunted quarter, a truth to lay bare

In the shadows of Montmartre, I'll find my path
Through the echoes of art, I'll face the wrath
The secrets of the city, hidden in plain sight
In Montmartre's lament, I'll fight the good fight
A destiny unfolding, amidst the ruins and pain
In Montmartre's embrace, I'll break the chain

The Sacré-Cœur, a beacon in the night
Shattered and broken, a haunting sight
Through crumbling nave and fallen stone
In Montmartre's sorrow, I'll make my home
The weight of revelation, pressing down on me
In this sacred ruin, what will I see?

(Dramatic string arrangement and powerful drums)
In Montmartre's depths, a choice to make
Through shattered dreams and hearts that ache
A final stand, against the coming storm
In Montmartre's lament, I'll find my true form
The key to salvation, or the world's demise
In Montmartre's shadow, the answer lies

In Montmartre's embrace, I'll find my way
Through the ruins of yesterday, I'll seize the day
The ghosts of the past, guiding my hand
In Montmartre's sorrow, I'll make my stand
A destiny fulfilled, amidst the art and strife
In Montmartre's heart, I'll find new life

Paris 2073 A.D.

Montmartre's Lament

World Without Humans

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 on this album 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.
