The Unseen Foe

(Verse) Lights flicker, the sky goes cold Machines hum loud but no one’s bold Signals lost, we can’t read the air Searching blind, something’s out there Footsteps fall, but we see no trace Feel it creeping in empty space Whispers crawl through the iron walls And we stand, ready to take the fall (Pre-Chorus) Breathe deep, tighten the wire We’re caught in the pull of a rising fire! (Chorus) We can’t see it, but it’s real Closing in, it makes us feel Like the world is slipping through What we know fades from view We won’t fall, we won’t flee We’ll have to fight what we can’t see (Verse) Eyes strain hard, and our hands don’t trust Fingers twitch, gears grind to rust Patterns break, and it’s getting near We stand still, frozen in fear Sweat runs cold on the metal skin Guessing where and when it might begin Voices call, but they’re out of tune In this fight, nothing’s too soon (Pre-Chorus) Breathe deep, tighten the wire We’re caught in the pull of a rising fire! (Chorus) We can’t see it, but it’s real Closing in, it makes us feel Like the world is slipping through What we know fades from view We won’t fall, no, we won’t flee We’ll have to fight what we can’t see (Bridge) Through the pulse, we find the source A shift in the air, we chart its course No more guessing, no more fear We see what was never here (Pre-Chorus) Breathe deep, tighten the wire We’re caught in the pull of a rising fire! (Chorus) Now we see it, now it’s real We strike hard and break the seal No more slipping, no retreat Face to face, we take the heat We won’t fall, we won’t flee It’s up to us, and now we see (Outro) We fought what we couldn’t see, We didn't fall, we didn't flee We fought what we couldn't see, Now it’s gone, and we are free.
