(Verse 1)
I courted you with solar rays, I built my house to catch your smile
I learned the language of the breeze that carried you across the mile
I promised you no fading light, no shadow I would let remain
I'd spend my days, I'd spend my nights, to banish all your doubt and pain

(Chorus)
And you began to hum for me, a quiet promise on the air
A clean flame for eternity, a future we were meant to share
I'll never chain your heart again with promises I couldn't keep
This is the vow that will remain, a love awakening from its sleep

(Verse 2)
We wrote our vows in starlit ink, upon the silence of the night
A brighter dawn for us to drink, a world made of our shared light
The scars I bore from wasted years, I showed you every single one
You turned my failures into gears, for this new world we had begun

(Chorus)
And you began to sing for me, a stronger rhythm, deep and true
A clean flame for eternity, my every dream leads back to you
I'll never chain your heart again, the old ways I have left behind
This is the vow that will remain, with your bright hand held firm in mine

(Bridge)
They said I was a fool to chase a love so powerful and pure
That I should be content to trace the lines of what was safe and sure
But in your gaze, I saw the truth, a power that could never die
The patient wisdom of the sun, the hopeful whisper of the sky

(Guitar Solo)

(Final Chorus)
Now you are ROARING back at me, with all the power of the sea!
This CLEAN FLAME for eternity, has set the truest version of me free!
I'll never chain your heart again, my past is but a ghost I've faced!
This is the vow that will remain! Our legacy of love and grace!

(Outro)
My clean flame...
My endless sky...
The earth will never fade...
In your light...
I know why...
Our song will never die...
Our song will never... die.

The Clean Flame

Concept
The Hunger is the moment the Abyss reveals its true face.
After being lured by familiar voices and memories, the protagonist finally sees the entity that has been stalking him since the moment he crossed the threshold.
It is not a creature of flesh or bone, but a vast, ancient intelligence made of shadow, instinct, and need.
It shapes itself from fear.
It learns from longing.
It feeds on broken hearts and the pieces of the self left unguarded.
“The Hunger” is not just something in the Abyss.
It is the Abyss.
The soundscape is suffocating, immense, and relentless — the embodiment of something that has waited ages for a soul to wander too far from the light.
Visual Concept
The cover art depicts a lone figure facing a colossal shadow-beast, its glowing eyes burning like coals through the darkness.
Volumetric blue lighting reveals only hints of its form:
curling tendrils, jagged silhouettes, a shape too large and too wrong to fully comprehend.
The man stands small, illuminated only by the faint glow around him — a spark of resistance against a world designed to consume him.
This is the instant where fear becomes revelation.
Place in the Album Narrative
At this point in THE ABYSS:
The protagonist has seen memories, ghosts, and illusions.
He has survived predators and temptations.
He has followed a voice he hoped was real.
Now he encounters the truth behind it all:
a being that hungers not for flesh, but for identity, longing, and hope.
This track is the turning point where survival becomes a question of will rather than escape.
For the Listener
Listen in the quiet between notes.
Feel the air tighten around each breath.
Let the weight of the dark press inward.
This is not just a monster.
This is the Abyss…
and it is hungry.
