//initial seed was later removed in cover shadows play light will sway dance in flight day meets night secrets blend tales ascend echoes call curtains fall [Intro] [Orchestra and piano overture] [Verse 1, Solo voice, strings and oboe] A flicker gleams on marble floors, The whispers glide through open doors. A step, a turn, the air alive, The symphony begins to thrive. [Pre-Chorus, Solo voice with violins] The masks we wear, they shift and gleam, A fleeting truth within a dream. The notes arise, both sharp and sweet, Where shadow and the soul will meet. [Chorus] (shadows play) A dance of light, (light will sway) a game of chance, (dance in flight) The soul steps forth (day meets night) in bold advance. (secrets blend) Beneath the mirth, (tales ascend) a deeper tone, (echoes call) The heart sings out, (curtains fall) yet stands alone. [Interlude, sad oboe] [Verse 2, Solo voice] The candles flare, the dusk descends, A playful bow the silence bends. Each note a thread, each pause a sign, The shadows trace a grand design. [Pre-chorus, Canon overlaps] (The masks we wear) The masks we wear, they shift and gleam A fleeting truth within a dream. (The notes arise) The notes arise, both sharp and sweet (Where shadow and) Where shadow and the soul will meet. [Chorus] (shadows play) A dance of light, (light will sway) a game of chance, (dance in flight) The soul steps forth (day meets night) in bold advance. (secrets blend) Beneath the mirth, (tales ascend) a deeper tone, (echoes call) The heart sings out, (curtains fall) yet stands alone. [Bridge, Instrumental diminuendo] [Final] Ah-ah-ah—shadows play—light will sway—ah-ah-Ah The veil lifts high, the truth takes wing, A solemn joy in everything. [Outro, Solo voice fading] The shadows play, the light will sway, A final note to close the day.
