[Intro – industrial hammer sounds layered under gritty bass riff, slow fade-in to full band crash] [Verse 1 – dry, distorted rhythm guitar, steady snare beat] Woke up to the sound of drills Another sunrise paying bills Steel and smoke in every breath We build our lives one inch from death [Pre-Chorus – rising tension with call-and-response backing vocals] They paved the sky, they sold the rain Now every crack screams out our name [Chorus – full 80s hard rock explosion, gang vocals layered with aggressive leads] Concrete hymns, we sing in chains Under glass gods and acid rains No golden light, no promised land Just working hands and broken plans [Verse 2 – more syncopated riff, backing “ahh” vocals like warning sirens] Coffee, rust, and plastic lies Clocks that hum like lullabies We march in suits, in boots, in rust Turn hope to powder, dreams to dust [Pre-Chorus – same structure, tighter rhythm] They paved the sky, they sold the stars But we still drive these wrecked guitars [Chorus – repeat with extra harmonies and feedback trails] Concrete hymns, we sing in chains Under glass gods and acid rains No golden light, no promised land Just working hands and broken plans [Bridge – instruments drop to bass + vocal chant, builds gradually] No saints in suits No heroes here Just voices drowned In engineer [Guitar Solo – bluesy at first, turns aggressive with delay & whammy pedal work] [Final Chorus – high energy with layered octave vocals] Concrete hymns, we howl them loud From the subway floors to the data clouds No kings, no crowns, no saving grace Just scars that time will not erase [Outro – solitary guitar strum fading into soft machine hum + muffled street noise]
