[Intro - Minimalist] [Tape hiss, slow fuzzy bassline, raw acoustic chords, dark atmosphere] [Verse 1] [Stripped-down garage feel, close-mic female vocal, subdued tone] See the weapons in the dark, watch the cities turn to dust Killing brothers in the street, leaving only hate and rust Waters running dark and red, underneath the broken crust We forgot the price of life, we forgot the way to trust [Pre-Chorus] [Sudden snare build, driving rhythm section, rising tension] We are choking in the gray But the light is on the way... [Chorus - Euphoric and Happy] [Explosive loud-quiet switch, euphoric positive energy, wall of distorted fuzz guitars, bright soaring synth glow, powerful graceful vocal] But we run into the woods, where the morning light is gold! See the ocean's hidden reef, with its magic to unfold! Ev'ry little stone alive, in the balance of the earth! Running happy to the light, in a beautiful rebirth! (in a beautiful rebirth!) [Raw Bass Drop] [Sudden drop to bass and hi-hat only, tape noise] [Verse 2] [Subdued again, tight minimalist groove, vocal slightly cynical] Leaders on the shiny stage, speaking only empty lies Watch the greedy men of wealth, hiding in a sweet disguise Taking ev'ry human right, while the broken nation cries Selling all our lives for gold, as another city dies [Pre-Chorus] [Rolling tom-toms, building up to the burst] We are choking in the gray But the light is on the way... [Chorus - Euphoric and Happy] [Maximum positive energy, handclaps, soaring synth leads, big smile in the vocal] But we run into the woods, where the morning light is gold! See the ocean's hidden reef, with its magic to unfold! Ev'ry little stone alive, in the balance of the earth! Running happy to the light, in a beautiful rebirth! (in a beautiful rebirth!) [Heavy Fuzz Breakdown] [Punchy drum fills, gritty blues-infused guitar riff, pulsing electro layers] [Verse 3] [Half-time heavy drum beat, vocal very rhythmic and storytelling] Typing poison in the dark, spitting venom through the wire Throwing daggers at the heart, setting innocence on fire Ghosts within the cold machine, feeding on the bitter pyre Tearing down the innocent, joining in the toxic choir [Pre-Chorus] [Massive drum build-up, sirens far in the background, maximum tension] We are choking in the gray But the light is on the way!!! [Chorus - Ultimate Explosion] [Everything louder, euphoric wall of sound, triumphant graceful vocal] But we run into the woods, where the morning light is gold! See the ocean's hidden reef, with its magic to unfold! Ev'ry little stone alive, in the balance of the earth! Running happy to the light, in a beautiful rebirth! [Outro] [Music fades out fast into single acoustic guitar notes] Running to the light... [sound of forest birds and gentle ocean waves]
