Citadel of Glass v2

[Verse 1] High above the fractured earth, A tower rises from the dirt. Walls of crystal, sharp and bright, Blinding truth disguised as light. [Pre-Chorus] They build it high to block the skies, But glass still breaks when the fire flies. [Chorus] Citadel of glass… Cracking under thunder’s hand. Citadel of glass… It was never meant to stand. [Verse 2] Every stone is a lie repeated, Every echo a promise defeated. I see the cracks in the perfect wall, It trembles now—it’s bound to fall. [Pre-Chorus] They build it high to block the skies, But glass still breaks when the fire flies. [Chorus] Citadel of glass… Cracking under thunder’s hand. Citadel of glass… It was never meant to stand. [Bridge – Spoken-Sung, Defiant] Strike the bell, Shatter the crown. What is built on silence Will always come down. (Instrumental Break – heavy guitar riff, layered with Moog-style synth lead, double-time drums) [Final Chorus – Extended] Citadel of glass… Cracking under thunder’s hand. Citadel of glass… It was never meant to stand. Citadel of glass… The empire fades to sand. [Outro – Slow, Atmospheric Fade] And in the ruins, The people sing again.
