红移

[Intro: instrumental, cosmic drone, delayed guitar, radio static] [Verse 1: clean melancholic vocals] I nailed my eyes to the telescope Charted the dark where the gods won't go Every photon a nail in my hand Every answer burned the ground where I stand [Pre-Chorus: clean vocals, building] They said don't ask They said don't see But the universe carved its name in me [Chorus: clean lead vocals, faint distant screams in background] I am the redshift, the wound in the sky A martyr for measure, for light that won't lie If truth is a fire, then let me be burned Star by star, I will not turn [Verse 2: clean vocals, restrained] I read the microwave ghost of birth The fingerprint left on the edge of the earth They offered me silence, a grave, and a throne I chose the cold vacuum, the unknown alone [Pre-Chorus: clean vocals, growing tension] They said don't ask They said don't see But the universe carved its name in me [Chorus: clean lead vocals, faint layered screams] I am the redshift, the wound in the sky A martyr for measure, for light that won't lie If truth is a fire, then let me be burned Star by star, I will not turn [Breakdown: instrumental 7/8, dissonant chords; short harsh scream accents only] [harsh scream accent] Collapse me [clean whisper] Into the singularity [harsh scream accent] Collapse me [clean whisper] But the data will remain [clean whisper] I die, but not in vain [Instrumental: progressive post-rock build, tremolo guitars, cello, synth drone] [Bridge: clean fragile vocals] If I am dust, then let me be A witness to eternity If I am wrong, then let me fall But I will answer the cosmos' call [Climax: full band, clean vocals + one short harsh scream accent] I am the redshift, the wound in the sky A martyr for measure, for light that won't lie If truth is a fire, then let me be burned [harsh scream accent] Star by star — I will not turn [Outro: clean vocals fading, piano, radio static] I will not turn... I will not turn... The stars keep their silence... And I keep the light.
