Lyrics

[Intro: Soft piano, ambient synths, raspy female vocals with breathy delivery, cold cinematic atmosphere]
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 female vocals with light acoustic guitar and piano, distant echo effects, slow beat]
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: Gritty female pop vocals with emotional intensity, mid-tempo drums, cinematic strings and subtle synth swells]
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, emotive delivery with minimal percussion, light reverb, soft pads under piano]
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 — stronger emotional lift with layered harmonies and a fuller instrumental build]
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 light piano, ambient textures, building orchestral 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: Hopeful raspy vocals, light percussion returns, cinematic warmth building into the final release]
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: Raspy voice over soft piano, fading ambient pads, melancholy and reflective tone]
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.
