ОКОВЫ... frozen bonds

1970s British progressive rock, expansive and cinematic at a slow 60-80 BPM. Clean and lightly overdriven electric guitar with long sustained bends, tape delay and heavy reverb over sweeping bluesy solos. Warm analog synth pads, Hammond organ swells, electric piano and orchestral string layers build slow crescendos. Steady unhurried drum kit with brushed dynamics and roomy toms, round fretless-feel bass anchoring the harmony. Ambient sound-effect textures, clock chimes, wind and heartbeat pulses fade between sections. Restrained melancholic male tenor with airy falsetto, close-mic'd and drenched in stereo delay, layered harmony backing vocals in wide panorama.

**Verse 1** My soul has frozen, cold and still, My body numb beneath the chill. I stand in this bleak, drenched domain, The world around lies locked in pain. I search for light with desperate eyes, But no path shows beneath the skies. The whole world sank into the deep, A shroud of sorrow holds me fast, so deep. **Chorus** Where can I find the strength to be? To break these icy chains, set free? To push through all this hopeless haze, And find the road I’m meant to take. **Verse 2** All round, the snow of grief lies thick, I cannot move—I’m stuck, I’m fixed. My soul is screaming in despair, No strength remains to fight or care. With hope alone you won’t be saved, With faith alone you won’t be brave. No warmth of love can thaw this cold… But You won’t let me lose control. **Chorus** Where can I find the strength to be? To break these icy chains, set free? To push through all this hopeless haze, And find the road I’m meant to take. **Bridge** One single step—hope stands so near, Another step—faith holds me here. My soul, warmed by a love so true, I pray for all, I carry through. Through frost and through the darkest night, I’ll kindle light within my sight. **Final Chorus** While praying, trusting in myself, I’ll gather willpower, cast out fear. I’ll break away from icy hell, Toward the light I’ll take my share—one step, so clear!
