The Blank Place On The Map
Composição: MaxArwen.(Verse 1)
In the old atlas corner, no name and no hue
An empty white space, a silence that grew
No routes ever drawn, no civilization
Just the paper's pale void and imagination
(Pre-chorus)
The cold wind is blowing from a lawless domain
Where the map is lying, but the dreaming remains
(Chorus)
The Blank Place on the Map is calling without sound
Where the world still trembles before it's unbound
No one came back to tell what lies beyond the end
I just know the void on the paper is within me, my friend
(Verse 2)
The eyes of the cartographers look away in fear
As if terror was the compass that keeps the truth clear
But I carry a broken compass and an old almanac
And the knowing that the secret never stayed on the attack
(Pre-chorus)
Each step that I take erases all that's been drawn
The mystery's a river – and fear is its spawn
(Chorus)
The Blank Place on the Map is calling without sound
Where the world still trembles before it's unbound
No one came back to tell what lies beyond the end
I just know the void on the paper is within me, my friend
(Bridge)
What if there are no monsters? What if there is no pain?
What if the empty place is just a mirror again?
A reflection of what we never dared to explore
The fear of the unknown is just not wanting more
(Spoken / Cry – optional)
"There is no north. There is no south. There's only what you bring."
(Final Chorus – more intense)
The Blank Place on the Map is tearing me inside
Where time is a longing and the ground learns to glide
No one came back… but I'll go… and if I don't, okay
For every map is lying – and the void showed me the way
(Outro)
[Ethereal instrumental, wind, distant footsteps]
Somewhere… between what is known and what is yearned…
It stays blank.
And there… we begin to be.
