[Verse 1]
The Wizard was a petty thing
A puppet on a broken string
But what comes now? What have we heard?
The final, devastating word!
A buzzer sounds a nuclear note
A thinking god that learns by rote
And high above, beyond the grey
The sun prepares to burn the day!
How can we fight a solar flare?
There is no victory, just despair!

[Verse 2]
I see no sun, I see the pain
The toxic, memory-stealing rain
The fog that settles in the mind
The zombie souls left behind
I hear the deals of dust and chrome
That call the broken people home
To serve a cult, a cheap desire
While everything is set on fire
We can't fix stars, but we can mend
A broken heart, and help a friend!

[Pre-Chorus]
My heart is torn, my head's a maze
In these apocalyptic days
One path is flight, one path is war
I don't know what we're fighting for!
Oh, Scarecrow, you who sought a brain
Can you find logic in this pain?
Synthesize our fear and doubt!
Before the final light goes out!

[Chorus]
[The music swells into a powerful, mid-tempo Power Metal anthem. The Scarecrow steps forward, his voice clear and unexpectedly wise.]
The sun, the bomb, the AI's creed
Are all born from a single seed!
A system built on fear's design
A fragile and a fractured line!
We cannot stop the cosmic tide
We have no place to run or hide
So let the heavens rage and burn!
This is the lesson we must learn!
The gambit's not to win their war
But build a world worth fighting for!

[Post-Chorus]
A world worth fighting for!

[Bridge]
[The music becomes quiet and determined. A steady, heartbeat-like drum begins. The companions gather around the Scarecrow.]
(The Scarecrow)
They want us panicked, want us split
By every threat from hell's dark pit
The bug, the bomb, the burning sky
Are all just reasons we should die
But if we build our own supply
Beneath their cold, uncaring eye
With our own food, our own real code
We can withstand the coming load

(The Wanderer)
A sovereign farm, a local grid

Where human talent is not hid

A wall of courage, strong and true

A world for us, created new!

[Final Chorus]
[The music explodes into a triumphant, fast-paced, unified Power Metal anthem with soaring choirs.]
The sun, the bomb, the AI's creed
Are seeds that cannot grow a weed
Within the garden we will make
For every single human's sake!
Let doomsday come, we will not fall!
We'll stand together, strong and tall!
The gambit's not to win their war
But BE the world worth fighting for!

[Outro]
Let them have their Armageddon! We will have our home!
[The song ends on a final, triumphant, orchestral chord.]
[End]

[Intro] [The stage is dimly lit, showing the four companions—The Wanderer, Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion—standing among the ruins of the Emerald City. The music is slow and somber, a clean guitar arpeggio over a low, pulsing synth bass.] [Verse 1] The Wizard was a petty thing A puppet on a broken string But what comes now? What have we heard?
