In music, the introduction is a passage or section which opens a movement or a separate piece, preceding the theme or lyrics. In popular music this is often abbreviated as intro. The introduction establishes melodic, harmonic, and/or rhythmic material related to the main body of a piece.
Introductions may consist of an ostinato that is used in the following music, an important chord or progression that establishes the tonality and groove for the following music, or they may be important but disguised or out-of-context motivic or thematic material. As such the introduction may be the first statement of primary or other important material, may be related to but different from the primary or other important material, or may bear little relation to any other material.

In musical terminology, tempo [ˈtɛmpo] ("time" in Italian; plural: tempi [ˈtɛmpi]) is the speed or pace of a given piece or subsection thereof.
A piece of music's tempo is typically written at the start of the score, and in modern Western music is usually indicated in beats per minute (BPM). This means that a particular note value (for example, a quarter note, or crotchet) is specified as the beat, and that the amount of time between successive beats is a specified fraction of a minute. The greater the number of beats per minute, the smaller the amount of time between successive beats, and thus faster a piece must be played. For example, a tempo of 60 beats per minute signifies one beat per second, while a tempo of 120 beats per minute is twice as rapid, signifying one beat every 0.5 seconds. Mathematical tempo markings of this kind became increasingly popular during the first half of the 19th century, after the metronome had been invented by Johann Nepomuk Maelzel, although early metronomes were somewhat inconsistent. Beethoven was one of the first composers to use the metronome; in the 1810s he published metronomic indications for the eight symphonies he had composed up to that time. for example a minum has a 2 seconds
The grave accent ( ` ) (/ˈɡreɪv/ or UK /ˈɡrɑːv/) is a diacritical mark used in many written languages, including Breton, Catalan, Corsican, Dutch, French, Greek (until 1982; see polytonic orthography), Haitian Creole, Italian, Mohawk, Norwegian, Occitan, Portuguese, Ligurian, Scottish Gaelic, Vietnamese, Welsh, Romansh and Yoruba.
The grave accent was first used in the polytonic orthography of Ancient Greek to mark a lower pitch than the high pitch of the acute accent. In modern practice, it is used to replace an acute accent in the last syllable of a word when the word is followed immediately by another word in the sentence. The grave and circumflex have been replaced with an acute accent in the modern monotonic orthography.
The grave accent marks the stressed vowels of words in Maltese, Catalan and Italian.

Fields of grief
Before my empty views
Some final falling melting snow
Awakes my fervent stranger within...
Behind the hill
A cry from doomed and unborn
Malignancy will be reborn
Through the tides of time
Still a reflected vision on the snow
Of your precious essence
No flicker of hope along
With the falling sky
We used to dream fairy-tales in gold
Now only bloodred reigning saints above
We aim for the stars
We defy the winds and the clouds
To find one way out
To defy thy faith
Of the serpent's kiss
I sleep in chains
Through the deepest black
Wintergrief
Enlightened bu the northern lights
A last gleam
Of slowly fading northern skies
An epitome of my life
I see the light turning into darkness
There is no return when I hear the angel's call
I begin to crawl inside my self
To another instituxion
A domain for the brave
When the wintergrief grows stronger
A shrouded dream enthroned in the future
Emotional death, the denial of life
In remembrance to thee
Slaughtered is my soul beyond temptation
What's left of the remains in a charred hell
Wintergrief
Enlightened bu the northern lights
A last gleam
Of slowly fading northern skies
Wintergrief
Enlightened bu the northern lights
Into mourning signs
A last gleam
Of slowly fading northern skies
