[Intro: "静" - Absolute stillness. 5 seconds of only constant, layered Arctic wind, creating a frozen soundscape. A single, pure, high-register piano note (like an ice crystal) fades in and decays. A low, breathy Uilleann pipe enters with a sparse, haunting 4-note motif in a Nordic Dorian mode. NO BEAT.]
(Instrumental)
[Verse A1: "蓄"之始 - The Uilleann pipe repeats its motif. A deep, warm cello drone fades in beneath, creating a subterranean harmonic bed. The vocal enters late, intimate, and narrative. Use warm, relaxed chest voice with clear mask resonance, supported by deep breath. The rhythm is free, rubato.]
The bitter north wind carves the years in frost and light
Cambrian ice holds deep what earth forgot—
This "green land"? Just a dream we clung to long ago
In silence… who still sleeps below
[Verse A2: "蓄"之承 - The pipe continues. A high, glassy, and fragile violin enters, playing a responding motif to the pipes, like an ice crack answering the wind. The vocal gains slight strength and resonance, transitioning into a more supported mix. The dialogue between pipe (Nordic) and violin (Inuit) is clear.]
Inuit Nunaat—a name both true and old
"Eskimo"? A label never ours to hold
They are souls of snow, of storm, of sky
Mysteries etched where glaciers lie
Guardians of stars that never die
[Chorus B1: "爆" - SUDDEN AND GRAND. The full string section swells with a powerful, emotive chord progression. The tempo feels more defined. The vocal BELTS with a powerful mixed voice core. Employ strong chest connection and controlled pharyngeal edge for the high, sustained notes. A deep, sub-frequency BLUE WHALE CALL and a sharp, realistic ICEBERG CRACK sound effect are woven into the texture.]
Ah— (Sustained, powerful belt with pharyngeal ring)
Beneath the ice, dark riches gleam
Lit by auroras’ ghostly beam
Where stone queens watch with silent eyes
Wildfire stirs beneath the skies
Tales fed by seal-oil flame and sighs
Can’t warm a world grown cold and gray
The blue whale sings—a breath, a crack—
Shatters the lie the ice kept back
[Interlude: "落" - Music collapses. Strings fade to a dissonant, frozen pad. Only the lingering whale tone, wind, and the echo of the crack remain. A palpable emptiness.]
[Chorus B2: "爆"之升华 - The music rebuilds from the silence with determination. A clear, high, repeating piano motif in the treble clef emerges like a beacon. Strings re-enter, brighter and more hopeful in harmony. The vocal soars with an even more brilliant mix, pharyngeal resonance creating a "lighthouse beam" of sound, full of unwavering hope.]
Ah— (Soaring, brilliant, and hopeful mix voice)
Under stars-and-stripes' spreading shade
Cold cash glints like winter blade
Yet snow will fall and hide the stain—
All history buried under plain
When civilizations chase the stars
To distant suns and stranger worlds
I’ll be the light you once looked back upon—
A lighthouse burning through the dawn
[Bridge: "陷" - Total emotional desolation. Music strips to a lone, grieving Uilleann pipe playing a variation of the intro motif. The ever-present wind is now foregrounded, sounding like a cry. The vocal is raw, returning to a fragile, breathy chest voice, close-mic'd, on the verge of breaking.]
A thousand years… this endless plain—
Cannot still fate’s muffled cry
Desire’s ruin drinks the glow
Of gentle dusk we used to know
Now only wind dares sing goodbye
[Outro: "燃" -> "灭" - The Uilleann pipe and piano motifs return, intertwined, now in a warmer, more resolved harmony. The vocal is the "guiding flame": steady, calm, using a resonant middle-voice mix with perfect mask placement. Everything begins a final, slow fade over 15-20 seconds—instruments first, then the vocal melting into syllables, leaving only wind, one final, distant ice crack, and a sub-bass drone that evaporates into total silence.]
I remain—
That guiding flame
At the edge of ice and time
Flickering through endless night
Waiting for a dawn
No hand must claim…
A long, unbroken night—
Without the need to fight
