Fractal Winter

Lyrics

[Intro: Raspy female vocals, soft layered humming, no instruments, breathy emotional tone]
The chill of twilight, the lake deep,
A heart once vibrant now drifts to sleep.
Loneliness whispers with a shiver and sigh,
As the ice starts to crack, and the night starts to cry.

[Verse 1: Raspy lead female vocals with light background vocal harmonies, slow rhythm, pure a cappella]
She wandered alone through frostbitten wilds,
A shadow 'mong shadows, a lost, fleeting child.
Each breath was a tremor, the air turned to stone;
In winter's cold silence, she wandered alone.

[Chorus: Strong raspy female vocals with rich vocal layering, emotional and soaring a cappella performance]
Oh, the ice melts away with a whispering plea,
In the grip of despair, where no one can see.
Time ticking softly, while her heart slowly breaks,
Racing with shadows, as the coldness awakes.

[Verse 2: Raspy lead vocals, soft vocal echoes behind, no instruments, maintaining a haunting rhythmic delivery]
In a moment so fleeting, she slips from the shore,
The water, it beckons to dreams she once wore.
A fractal reflection, a cruel, broken gleam,
As she struggles for light through the cracks of a dream.

[Chorus: Repeat — bold raspy vocal harmonies, dynamic a cappella feel, emotional crescendo]
Oh, the ice melts away with a whispering plea,
In the grip of despair, where no one can see.
Time ticking softly, while her heart slowly breaks,
Racing with shadows, as the coldness awakes.

[Bridge: Whispered raspy vocals over subtle background humming, rising emotional tension]
Can you hear her cry
Through the endless stormy night?
Calling out for rescue, gripped by chilling fright.
Echoes of silence, a ghost on the breeze,
Hurry to her side, as she drifts with the leaves.

[Verse 3: Raspy vocals with hopeful emotional energy, fuller background harmonies layering in]
Hope rides on the wind, the angels draw near,
Following her cries through the dark and the fear.
With hands outstretched, in the black they align,
Finding warmth in the grasp, leaving sorrow behind.

[Outro: Gentle raspy vocals, layered soft vocal echoes, pure emotional a cappella fade-out]
Now she floats on the surface, the ice a thin veil,
A porcelain doll, soul set to sail.
Frozen perfection till spring's warm winds sing.

Now she floats on the surface, the ice a thin veil,
A porcelain doll, soul set to sail.
Hidden in stillness till the first thawing cost—
She drifts forever lost.
She drifts forever lost.
