[Verse I] Below the reach of morning, beneath the weight of blue, where every sound is swallowed and every shape is new, something moves without a shadow, something bends the night— a whisper made of velvet, a body made of light. No eyes above have named it. No hand has held it still. It blooms where pressure gathers, beyond the edge of will. The darkness folds around it, then fractures at the seams— a living constellation drifting underneath our dreams. [Refrain] Unfurl. Unfurl. Let the black water see you. [Chorus I] Open the luminous veil, let every color breathe. Burn without fire where nothing should be seen. Turn all the darkness pale, make midnight ultraviolet. Beautiful stranger, open the luminous veil. [Verse II] It does not chase the current. The current learns its shape. Each ribbon becomes an ocean, each movement an escape. Scarlet turns to violet, then violet into blue, as though the abyss remembered a color it once knew. And somewhere in the silence, beneath the crushing miles, the ancient water trembles at something without guile. Not anger. Not hunger. Not mercy. Not design. Only a living lantern where no sun has ever shined. [Refrain] Unfurl. Unfurl. The dark has come to know you. [Chorus II] Open the luminous veil, spread wider than the night. Make every hidden current remember what is light. No shore, no star, no trail— only the pulse beneath it. Beautiful phantom, open the luminous veil. [Verse III] Then something changes. The glow becomes a warning. The ribbons tighten close. Beauty becomes geometry around an unseen ghost. The water fills with pressure. The quiet bares its teeth. A thousand colors vanish into the dark beneath. There is no roar to hear here. No footstep. No alarm. Only the sudden knowledge that wonder can mean harm. [Whispered Refrain] Do not mistake the light for invitation. Do not mistake the beautiful for harmless. [Breakdown / Spoken] Black water. Cold pressure. Eight arms beneath the color. No crown. No throne. No master. Only motion. Only instinct. Only the veil. [Chorus III] OPEN THE LUMINOUS VEIL. LET THE WHOLE ABYSS IGNITE. LET EVERY COLOR TURN PREDATORY, LET BEAUTY LEARN TO BITE. OPEN THE LUMINOUS VEIL. NO HEAVEN ABOVE, NO FLOOR BELOW. ONLY THE BODY OF THE DEEP BECOMING EVERYTHING IT KNOWS. [Bridge] And for one impossible moment, the ocean has a face. Not human. Not divine. Only ancient grace. A cathedral made of motion, a stained-glass living storm, a creature wearing darkness like another kind of form. Then the colors start collapsing. The violet becomes gray. The impossible grows distant. The living lights decay. [Soft Refrain] Fold inward. Fold inward. Let the black water keep you. [Final Chorus] Close the luminous veil. Leave only echoes here. A fading thread of color, a shape that disappears. Close the luminous veil. Let silence take the sea. But somewhere in the darkness, something still remembers how to glow. [Whispered Outro] Unfurl. Disappear. Unfurl. Disappear. The dark was never empty.
