Worlds Unto Themselves

Intro - Galloping bass, twin guitar harmonics

Verse 1

Before the scales, before the throne of no return,

You stand in light that does not warm, in fire that does not burn.

Strip away the name you wore, the face the world had known -

What remains when all is gone? What calls this flesh its home?

Riff

Verse 2

You walked among the breathing world, you cast a shadow there,

You filled a space that once was void, you poisoned and you cared.

But caring is a borrowed coat, and shadows fade by noon -

So tell me what you are, not what you did, and do it soon.

Pre-Chorus

The hourglass has no sand left to fall,

The verdict waits - but first, hear me call

Verse 3

There was a man who named the stars and thought that made them his,

There was a woman who loved so hard she forgot what love is.

There are those who built their walls so thick the light became a myth -

Are you the wall?

Are you the light?

Are you the one within?

Pre-Chorus

The question isn't punishment - it's grace -

To know yourself before you leave this place -

Chorus - Harmonies

Come, tell me -

Do you see?

Do you feel?

Do you... Understand?

Can you grasp what you are?

And what of others -

Mirrors,

Bridge - Tempo drops

Every soul that ever passed this way

Thought the question meant their end.

But the asking is the answer -

The unexamined self cannot transcend.

You are not on trial here.

You are being... remembered.

Into existence.

For the first

Final Chorus - Key shift up

Come, tell me -

Do you see?

Do you feel?

Do you... Understand?

Can you grasp what you are?

And what of others -

Not mirrors - no -

Worlds.

Worlds unto themselves.

Narration

The question echoes. No
