[Intro – Distorted Calliope + Crowd Chant] [Old carnival organ detuned beneath mechanical drones] [Crowd (chanting)]: HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! [Ringmaster (spoken through crackling megaphone)]: Ladies... Gentlemen... Monsters... Tonight... EVERYBODY DIES SMILING! (Massive crowd eruption) [Verse 1] [Male] Raise the curtain— Feed the fire— Every liar joins the choir. Steel confessions, Broken saints, Paint your halo with restraint. Iron laughter, Ash and dust, Build your kingdom out of rust. Every heartbeat— Every scar— Made us everything we are. [Female] Spotlights cut like sharpened glass, Every future buried fast. I wear diamonds made of screams, Nothing here is what it seems. If you came to watch me fall— You're about to lose it all. [Pre-Chorus] [Male] Hear them... Calling... Hear them... Rise... [Female] Every soul becomes the sound— When the lights come crashing down! [Chorus] [Both] THIS IS THE FINAL ENCORE! Raise your fists! Shake the floor! Sing until your lungs collapse— Never looking back! THIS IS THE FINAL ENCORE! Crowns of steel! Hearts at war! If the whole damn world ignites— WE... GO... DOWN... ALIVE! [Live Crowd] HEY! HEY! HEY! OH! OH! OH! HEY! HEY! HEY! [Verse 2] [Male] Engines screaming, Heaven bends. Every ending never ends. Chrome communion, Wire skin. Every loss becomes a win. Break the mirrors— Burn the throne. No one dies here all alone. [Female] Hear the gears beneath your feet, Feel the violence in the beat. Every failure made us kings, Every wound remembers things. Take my hand— Don't hesitate— We become what we create! [Breakdown] (Half-time industrial groove. Huge kick drum. Factory hammers.) [Male] BREAK— THE— CHAINS! [Crowd] BREAK! THE! CHAINS! BREAK! THE! CHAINS! [Female (screaming)] Burn the fear! [Crowd] BURN IT! [Male] Burn the lies! [Crowd] BURN IT! [Female] Burn the silence— [Crowd] BURN IT! All WE WERE NEVER MEANT TO SURVIVE! (Massive breakdown chugs) [Bridge – Theatrical] (Choir enters. Industrial orchestra. Strings and pipe organ.) [Female (clean)] If tomorrow never comes... Would you still remember me? [Male] If the sky should finally fall... Will you stand... Beside... Me? [Both] Let the heavens split apart— Nothing breaks an iron heart! [Final Chorus] (Double kick. Full choir. Arena crowd singing every line.) THIS IS THE FINAL ENCORE! Raise your fists! Shake the floor! Every scar became a star— Look at who we are! THIS IS THE FINAL ENCORE! Hear us now— Forevermore! If tonight becomes our last— We'll make forever... OUT OF ASH! [Extended Crowd] HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! ONE! MORE! SONG! ONE! MORE! SONG! ONE! MORE! SONG! [Outro] (Everything drops except distorted organ, feedback, and thousands of fans singing.) [Female (softly)] The curtain falls... [Male] But the echoes... Never... Die... (One final guitar feedback scream.) [Crowd (fading into reverb)]: ONE MORE SONG... ONE MORE SONG... ONE MORE SONG... (Tape hiss... silence.)
