Symphonic metal in the style of Epica Dark, cinema

Symphonic metal in the style of Epica Dark, cinematic atmosphere, philosophical and introspective tone Mezzo-soprano female vocals inspired by Simone Simons, operatic and clean mixed throughout The vocalist sings just like Simone Simons does in the song called Storm the Sorrow from Epica Orchestra and choir are central, not background Chorus features layered operatic vocals, choir harmonies, and a rising melodic hook, emotionally intense but elegant No chaos No anger for anger’s sake This is strength reclaimed Lost memories Fragmented self Being told you’re weak Awakening without rage Choosing integration over destruction The Song called: Remember Who You Are. Lyrics: [Intro (soft, almost whispered)] In the silence of borrowed breath I hear a name I once forgot Shadows wear my face tonight But none of them are all I am [Verse I] They said my hands were empty That I had nothing to give I watched the world burn quietly Learning how to live I split my pain into the dark So I could stand and breathe Left my memories with the storm Until they were safe with me [Pre-Chorus] I am not the wound they made I am not the mask I wore Every fracture, every scar Led me back to who I was before [Chorus] Remember who you are Not the fear, not the flame Remember who you are You were never weak — just unclaimed From the ashes of my name I rise whole, I rise aware I remember who I am I am still here [Verse II] I carried futures in my veins While drowning in the now They mistook my silence For surrender — somehow But every step I couldn’t take Was power learning shape I was never breaking I was waiting [Bridge (choir + low instrumentation)] Two voices, one truth Two paths, one flame I touch the past — it lets me go And calls my name [(soft echo)] You’re ready now… [Final Chorus (full force)] Remember who you are Not the ghost, not the blade Remember who you are You survived everything they made I take back every breath Every memory, every scar I remember who I am I remember who you are [Outro] In the quiet, I remain No longer torn apart I didn’t lose myself in time I learned where to start
