[Intro]

[Verse]
Faint notes on a dying breeze
Whispers through the barren trees
A fractured echo, soft and low
Where does this uncertain path now go?

[Pre-Chorus]
The fractured ground beneath my feet
A silent, sorrowful retreat
No banners fly, no trumpets sound
Just questions on this hallowed ground

[Chorus]
A heavy heart, a weary soul
Toward an ending, yet untold
This unknown branch, I must embrace
Leaving behind no trace

[Verse]
Distand choirs begin to weep
Secrets that the shadows keep
Ambient strings begin to swell
A story only time can tell

[Pre-Chorus]
The instruments begin to wail
A mournful, epic, tragic tale
No clear horizon, no guiding star
Just who we are, and who we are

[Chorus]
A heavy heart, a weary soul
Toward an ending, yet untold
This unknown branch, I must embrace
Leaving behind no trace

[Bridge]
With strings that cry and drums that pound
A metal opera, profound
Yet still the resolution flees
Lost within the storm-tossed seas

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Perhaps I'll stay, perhaps I'll roam
To build a distant, different home
Or watch this project fade and die
Beneath a vast, indifferent sky

[Pre-Chorus]
No victory song, no bitter loss
Just carrying this heavy cross
A quiet bravery takes hold
A future, yet to be unrolled

[Chorus]
A heavy heart, a weary soul
Toward an ending, yet untold
This unknown branch, I must embrace
Leaving behind no trace

[Outro]
