[Intro — Female, breathy/diffused] Two suns in the sky... One to BURN, one to BLIND. [Verse 1 — Male, intimate ghost voice] Walking through the dust covered cracked ground, Feeling what was collapse into sound Metal bent like paper, and dark skies held in favor, Caught in the space between heaven and hell. Life we know has failed, but the ember is alive, Sacrifice the dark so the light may somehow survive. [Pre-Chorus — Female, short phrases; no long held notes] The stars are aligning, the orbit is locked, The ticking of the galaxy finally stopped. [Male + Female] The balance shatters. [DROP — beautiful melodic dubstep fractures into mechanical tearout] [Verse 2 — Male, dark/low] Ashes on the altar, shadows on the blade, Nothing worth becoming was ever built afraid. Power is a prison when it masquerades as truth, So I'll bring down the walls they told us not to move. [Instrumentation strips nearly bare] [Male — low, deliberate] Shatter, collapse, let form reforge itself to have something worth rebuilding. [Dead silence] [Female — close, breathy] Then leave me the ruins [Female — intimate, gradually strengthening] I'll rise where the old foundations fell, let rot take the fractures, it'll be its last rebel. You clear the ruin, I'll nurture the seed, Not every destruction is something to grieve. Where you make space, I'll teach it to grow, Where I reach too far, you'll keep me below. [Male] I am the ending that levels the ground. [Female] I am the beginning that grows with a single sound. [Both — restrained, building] Neither above. Neither below. Hold to the center. release the flow Destroy. Create. Grow. Rebirth into a brighter tomorrow. [One beat complete silence] [Female whisper] Eclipse across the abyss [Bridge — piano/cello, male vulnerable] If I break the structure, will you stay near? [Female, almost spoken] I'll sow through the wreckage. I'll meet you here. [Male] And if what we build starts becoming a cage— [Female] We break it together. [Both] And begin again. [Final Chorus — both, no extended female belts] We fall so we can rise, We break to unify. Let the old world shatter— Let the new roots find the light. You bring the walls down, I'll bring the garden through. Creation and destruction— Neither whole without the two. [Final tearout → orchestra rebuilds inside it] [Male, low] Shatter all. [Female whisper] Plant again. [Both] Something worth rebuilding. [Outro — solo cello, wind, analog hum cutoff]
