This progressive trance track is called, "Memento Mori." "Memento Mori," or translated in English, means “Remember you must die.” The point of this reminder isn’t to be morbid or promote fear, but to inspire, motivate and clarify. The idea has been central to art, Stoic philosophy, literature, architecture, and more throughout history.
We have already wrote the lyrics for this track. We would simply like you to follow the synth melody that we layered upon the instrumental so that you know how to sing the lyrics while following the melody of the synth that plays in conjunction with the instrumental.
LYRICS:
(HOOK)
Dark as winter.
A single splinter,
Cuts my faith
What's to lean on?
(CHORUS)
Just as I start to lose sight,
My breath brings me back into to the light.
And remember I'm human,
Human, human, human,...etc.

SIDENOTE:
You can listen to a track called, "Better Place" by Tomas Heredia in the audio brief link. This is the feel/vibe we're going for, while of course putting our own twist on this track.
Please let us know if you have any questions, especially on the timing of the words/syllables in the lyrics we provided you, as this is very important to the progression and flow/rhythm of the track. As long as you treat every synth note as a new syllable of the phrase, all should sound well. We look forward to working with you. Thank you!
