Empty Void

[Intro] (Instrumental: Sparse synth pads, distant echoing percussion) [Verse 1] No horizon, no dividing line Just the absence, stretching out of time No light to cast a shadow deep No whispered secrets for the mind to keep Silence hangs, a heavy, hollow shroud No echo answers, calling out too loud This endless grey, a canvas stripped and bare Just suffocating stillness in the air [Chorus] Empty void, a sea without a shore Empty void, demanding evermore Nothing gained and nothing left to lose Trapped within these featureless, grey hues Empty void, a silent, vast expanse Caught within this hollow, weightless trance [Verse 2] No familiar landmark, no returning path Just the chilling aftermath Of everything that ever was and ceased to be Dissolved into this cold infinity No touch, no warmth, no beating heart nearby Just the vastness stretching to the sky That isn't there, a dome of endless grey Where even hope begins to fade away [Chorus] Empty void, a sea without a shore Empty void, demanding evermore Nothing gained and nothing left to lose Trapped within these featureless, grey hues Empty void, a silent, vast expanse Caught within this hollow, weightless trance [Bridge] Is this the end? Or just the space between? A gaping maw where meaning's never seen No up, no down, no future, and no past Just this consuming emptiness that lasts And lasts... and lasts... [Chorus] Empty void, a sea without a shore Empty void, demanding evermore Nothing gained and nothing left to lose Trapped within these featureless, grey hues Empty void, a silent, vast expanse Caught within this hollow, weightless trance [Outro] (Instrumental: Synth pads gradually thin out, percussion fades to distant echoes, leaving only a single, sustained, very low drone that slowly fades to complete silence)
