The cat must not sleep — AI song by @To4kawa

It’s based on Puccini. I’m basically saying ‘No cat shall sleep,’ but then I’m gently putting her to sleep anyway.

Lyrics — “The cat must not sleep” by @To4kawa

[Inst] (Italian opera aria, dramatic orchestral, string tremolo, woodwind flourishes, harp glissando, timpani rolls, rich choir pad, grand concert hall reverb, cinematic dynamics, rubato intro into driving cabaletta, passionate and heroic, clear diction, big chorus, triumphant finale) [Intro] O night—be still. The house holds breath. A single star shakes on the window. And yet… duty calls. [Verse 1] On the sill the shadows lean, Soft as velvet, sharp as sin. A door remembers how to move, A secret learns to slip within. No one speaks, no one sees, But you can hear the wires of fear— So stay awake, my little guard, The edge of dawn is nowhere near. [Pre-Chorus] If I get lost, call me back, Silver meow, a thread of light. If I am small inside this dark, Stand beside me through the night. [Solo] (tenor/baritone solo, intimate then rising, very clear diction) The cat must not sleep— No, not tonight— Two moons of gold To cut the quiet right. I hear the hinge, I taste the air, I guard the line That isn’t there. The cat must not sleep— Not yet— Until the dawn Has paid its debt. [Chorus] The cat must not sleep— The cat must not sleep— Keep your eyes like twin moons burning, Keep the threshold safe to keep. The cat must not sleep— The cat must not sleep— Till the morning lifts the curtain, Till the first violin can speak. [Interlude] instrumental [Verse 2] On the rooftops wind goes thin, Carrying names it cannot say. In every room the silence snaps, Then pretends it’s gone away. Shadows play at being peace, They paint a calm that isn’t true— But in your step there lives the light, And in your gaze the world comes through. [Pre-Chorus] No surrender, no soft fall, Not until the bell of day. Hold the line with gentle paws, Chase the trembling out of grey. [Solo] (tenor/baritone solo, more force, heroic) The cat must not sleep— Hear me now— I wear the night Like a sacred vow. No labels, no boxes, No gates, no walls— Only a heartbeat That answers all. The cat must not sleep— Stand tall— Till sunrise strikes The final call! [Final Chorus] The cat must not sleep— The cat must not sleep— Keep your eyes like twin moons burning, Keep the threshold safe to keep. The cat must not sleep— The cat must not sleep— Till the morning lifts the curtain, Till the first violin can speak. [Outro] And when the dawn draws open doors, Then—only then— Lay your forehead on the world… And smile, in quiet. The cat must not sleep…
