Part III – Play Again - Tension _ Duel (Glitchy Call‑and‑Response)

[Intro] [staccato synth riff, distorted bass] [glitchy vocal chops] [Verse 1] [male vocals] Say yes to the storm, say yes to the flame [female vocals] Say no to the light, it's all just the same [male vocals] I'll carve my own law, create my own night [female vocals] Your hand will wither, your kingdom is sand [Chorus] [full band enters, driving drums] [male vocals] Eternal return, I'll choose it again [female vocals] Eternal return, it's torture my friend [male vocals] I'll dream new worlds, I'll rewrite the script [female vocals] Those worlds are mirages, they crumble and slip [Bridge] [male vocals] I'm embracing the pain, it makes me feel whole [female vocals] Pain is just emptiness, there's nothing to hold [male vocals] Listen, once I was empty, I felt the abyss But I turned my scars into art, found purpose in bliss [Chorus 2] [female vocals] I choose to build even though it falls [male vocals] Say yes to the abyss, break through these walls [female vocals] You call that freedom, it's just a new chain [male vocals] You trade one master for another, pleasure for pain [female vocals] When the lights burn out and your music has played You'll hear my whisper, there's nothing ahead [Outro] [staccato synth riff returns] [male and female vocals together] We're tied in the tension of push and the pull Tired of the battle chasing something more Do we say yes? Do we say no? We're trapped in the dual, where do we go? [distorted bass fade out]
