Chronos (final)

(Soaring synth arpeggios, complex time signatures,

minimalistic electric guitar solo over Mellotron washes)

Verse 1

He counted every heartbeat of the sleeping world unborn

Each hammer strike on anvils yet unmade

His children were the moments, his daughters were the dawns

He wove the thread of every debt unpaid

The river of the eons flowing backward through his veins

A father eating futures in a hunger without name

And the stars became his witnesses

As he swallowed his own name

[Instrumental Break – Synth solo, 5/4 time,

ascending keyboard runs over shifting meters]

Verse 2

I saw him in the hourglass, a shadow on the glass

His beard of frost, his fingers counting down

He asked me why I chase the things that never seem to last

I asked him why he wears a thorny crown

He laughed and all the constellations flickered in their tracks

"You pray for more tomorrows but you never leave the past"

He pointed to a moment that had not yet come around

And whispered, "This one's yours"

Instrumental Break – 2:00

(Virtuosic synth lead over complex polymeters,

building to a climactic guitar solo –

minimalistic, ethereal, soaring over Mellotron strings)

Guitar Solo

(Pointillist electric guitar lines,

sparse but beautiful,

ringing over Hammond organ swells)
