[Intro, Sparse Acoustic Guitar, Distant Echoes] (Soft humming fades into silence) [Verse 1] The air is cold, the sky is gray Footsteps echo as I’m led away No fight left, no need to run I whisper low, "My work is done" [Chorus, Haunting Harmonies] Chain me up, lead me down Through the ashes of this broken town No more dreams, no more past Just a number—fading fast [Verse 2] They took my father, took my son All resistance, stripped and gone March in line, keep your head down Or drown beneath the siren’s sound [Chorus, Haunting Harmonies] Chain me up, lead me down Through the ashes of this broken town No more dreams, no more past Just a number—fading fast [Bridge, Sparse Instrumentation, Echoing Whispers] Steel doors close, lights burn bright Hands grip tight, a final fight Needles bite, the voices hum Soft and slow—I come undone [Outro, Fading Strings, Distant Footsteps] No more pain, no more fear Eyes go blank, thoughts disappear A hollow smile, a hollow man I take my place in the master plan [end]
