[Instrumental Intro – Ticking Clock, Low Synth Pulse, Distant Sirens] [Verse 1] Static lights across the sky, The news repeats another lie. The streets are calm, the air is still, But something breaks — a silent will. We built our towers, made them high, Chased the stars, forgot the sky. The world kept turning, no one knew, The price for all we tried to do. [Pre-Chorus] The warnings came, the voices cried, But no one cared until they died. [Chorus] Before the fall, we closed our eyes, And called the truth a thousand lies. We lit the fuse, we fed the flame, And prayed the world would stay the same. Before the fall, we stood so tall, We had it all… we lost it all. [Instrumental – Tense Build, Mechanical Rhythm] [Verse 2] Neon flickers, power fades, Empty hearts in grand parades. The cities hum, the oceans sigh, A million souls just pass us by. We watched the sky begin to tear, Still we laughed, still unaware. The countdown started long ago, We danced until the final glow. [Pre-Chorus] The ground will shake, the stars will burn, But no one listens, none will learn. [Chorus] Before the fall, we closed our eyes, And called the truth a thousand lies. We lit the fuse, we fed the flame, And prayed the world would stay the same. Before the fall, we stood so tall, We had it all… we lost it all. [Instrumental] [Bridge – Slow Build, Sirens Fading In] Signals fade into the storm, The world forgets its human form. A quiet voice begins to say, “Tomorrow dies today…” [Final Chorus – Explosive, like a collapse] Before the fall, we lost our way, No dawn to come, no light, no day. Before the fall, we heard the call— And never thought we’d fall at all. [Outro – Distant Explosion / Clock Stops] Tick… Tock… Gone.
