[Intro] (fast aggressive crushing chuggy hardcore metal beat with machine-like rhythmic noise collage and eerie cricket-like ambient building tension, distant and mechanical) the alerts keep flashing across every screen [Verse 1] (deep guttural shaky restraint, low gritty conflicted delivery, natural voice cracks, breathy tension, sparse and intimate over fast chuggy beat) borders flare brighter with each passing hour the sky fills with shadows no one can call back homes I remember now sit under distant threats morning brings another count of what’s been lost quiet fear spreads through the ordinary day [Chorus] (deep guttural strained highs building raw power, breaking into messy anguished screams, full emotional release with voice cracks and raw intensity over slow heavy crushing chug riffs) this fire spreads wider than any map can hold lives get pulled into the current none of us chose I brace harder but the horizon only darkens caught between the powers that decide our end [Verse 2] (deep guttural shaky restraint escalating slightly, fragmented thoughts, natural imperfections and raw edge over fast chuggy beat sped back up) news cycles spin faster than the ground can settle faces on every feed carry the same hollow stare next flashpoint appears without any warning what felt far away now presses against the door the constant countdown never seems to pause [Chorus] (deep guttural strained highs to explosive messy screams, raw conflicted intensity, voice cracking on peaks over unique crushing half-time tempo drop for massive cathartic weight) this fire spreads wider than any map can hold lives get pulled into the current none of us chose I brace harder but the horizon only darkens caught… between… the powers… that decide our end [Bridge] (rising distorted layers with wah-wah leads and fluent soaring guitar, vocal desperation growing, strained highs turning chaotic) the signals never stop… the distance never grows… the silence never comes… [Final Chorus / Outro] (massive explosive choruses with heavy layered noisy crushing guitar walls and pounding drums, full messy screams and anguished highs peaking raw, then descending guitar motifs into shattered clean restraint) this fire spreads wider than any map can hold lives get pulled into the current none of us chose I brace harder but the horizon only darkens caught… between… the powers… that swallow the world (fade with descending guitar motifs, lingering noise textures, and echoing screams)
