The Void (Holy Saturday) | A Cinematic Dirge for the Silence of God

"The sun came up like a traitor today..."

"The Void" is a haunting Cinematic Dark Folk / Orchestral Dirge that explores the darkest day in history: Holy Saturday. It captures the raw, terrifying perspective of the disciples after the death of the "Healer" but before the resurrection. At this moment, they didn't know Sunday was coming—they only knew that the "King was gone" and the heavens were silent.

With a mourning cello, the wail of a Duduk, and desolate lyrics, this song gives a voice to the specific pain of broken trust and spiritual abandonment. It is the sound of waiting for a dawn you don't believe will come.

🎵 Lyrics: The Void

(Oh... the silence...) (It is so loud...)

[Verse 1] The sun came up like a traitor today, Painting the ground where the body lay. The birds are singing, they don’t understand, That the pulse has stopped in the Healer’s hand. We broke the bread, but it tasted like dust, A bitter meal of broken trust. The water is still, the wind is dry, And the clouds are a wall across the sky.

[Pre-Chorus] Was it a dream? Did we imagine the light? Or did we just walk into an endless night? The heavy stone is a seal on the door, And the world is the same as it was before. (Just the same... cruel and same...)

[Chorus] Oh, the void! The terrible space! Between the promise and the cold, hard place. We are the orphans of the sudden dead, With nowhere to lay our weary head. Heaven is closed, the curtains are drawn, And we are stuck waiting for a hopeless dawn. The King is gone... and the throne is bare. (Is anybody there? Is anybody there?)

[Verse 2] I touched my robe where he healed my pain, But now it’s just cloth in the falling rain. Peter is weeping, his face in his hands, A captain lost in the shifting sands. We thought we were marching to glory and crown, But the only direction we went was down. Into the earth, into the grey, How do we survive this empty day?

[Pre-Chorus] Was it a dream? Did we imagine the light? Or did we just walk into an endless night? The heavy stone is a seal on the door, And the world is the same as it was before.

[Bridge] They killed the Voice! They killed the Word! The sharpest silence I have ever heard! If God can die, then what is true? What are the leftovers meant to do? (What do we do? Oh God, what do we do?)

[Chorus] Oh, the void! The terrible space! Between the promise and the cold, hard place. We are the orphans of the sudden dead, With nowhere to lay our weary head. Heaven is closed, the curtains are drawn, And we are stuck waiting for a hopeless dawn.

[Outro] (Empty...) (It is finished...) (But we are still here...)
