[Intro] (Ambient industrial hum, tribal drums fade in, melancholic piano melody) (Deep, gravelly Krogan breathing) [Verse 1 - Male Vocal: Charr] (Deep, rasp baritone) On the sands of Tuchanka, where the sun burns the bone, I carved out a path, standing bloodied and lone. My plate is heavy, but my heart weighs much more, Bound to your spirit, to the peace we long for. In the tunnels of Utu, where the shadows take hold, You are the warmth in a galaxy cold. [Verse 2 - Female Vocal: Ereba] (Floor Jansen style - powerful, operatic) Through centuries drifting, through the dust of the stars, I heard your silence, I felt all your scars. My blood is the azure, yours the rust of the earth, In the garden of sorrow, we found a new birth. On the towers of Illium, where the neon lights glow, Your verses still echo in the valley below. [Chorus - Duet: Powerful & Anthemic] (Heavy 8-string guitars kick in, tribal percussion explosion) Oh, Blue Rose of Illium! Let my broken bones build a wall 'round your garden, In a universe cruel, where the hearts only harden. Across the dark void, where the ancient stars die, Our tragedy written in the ink of the sky. [Verse 3 - Male Vocal: Charr] (Darker tone, building tension) The Rachni are screaming, the darkness is deep, A promise I made is a promise I’ll keep. Ereba, don't cry, for a Krogan won't kneel, It’s only the distance, not the death, that I feel. [Bridge - Female Vocal: Ereba / Male: Screams] (Symphonic belts, Floor Jansen style power vocals / Background gut-wrenching screams) I write your name in the stone and the flame! (Charr: „MY WORDS ARE WRITTEN IN BLOOD!“) The tribal drum beats for the end of the game! (Charr: „FIND ME IN ASHES, FIND ME IN FLOOD!“) [Guitar Solo - Weeping, Melodic, High-gain] (Slow, emotional solo that transitions from metal to a darkwave synth outro) [Outro - Female Vocal: Whispers] (Soft piano, atmospheric synths) "Let your roots drink my blood... My Blue Rose... Sleep... in the garden I built for you."
