✦ Lyrics by adipit ✦ [Intro - Heavy industrial stomps, dirty guitar riff] [DENSITY: •] [RHYTHM: STOMP 👣] (Verse 1) [Vocal: Raspy and low] The coffee’s cold and the sky is a bruised-up gray, I’m already miles ahead while you’re throwing the light away. You’re tucked in tight, waiting for a sign or a lucky break, But the world don’t give a damn about the breath you didn’t take. Fame is a stray dog — it only follows the scent of the chase, And it won’t recognize a man who’s never shown his face. (Chorus – Chant-able Version) [DENSITY: ###] [EXPLODE 💥🎧💥] [SHOUT] Wake up! Wake up! Don’t sleep your life away! Rise up! Rise up! Don’t let your glory decay! No dreams for the sleeping, no gold for the cold, Get up, get out, take what’s yours, be bold! (Verse 2) [DENSITY: ══] [RIFF🔪] I’ve got gravel in my lungs and the sunrise in my eyes, I’d rather fail on my feet than win in a disguise. You think the stars align for those who rest their weary heads? The stars are burning engines, not cushions for your beds. So keep your quiet sanctuary, keep your “perfect time,” I’m halfway up the wall while you’re just starting the climb. (Chorus – Chant-able Version) [DENSITY: ###] [Vocal: Maximum Grit] Wake up! Wake up! Don’t sleep your life away! Rise up! Rise up! Don’t let your glory decay! No dreams for the sleeping, no gold for the cold, Get up, get out, take what’s yours, be bold! (Outro / Shout) [DENSITY: •] [RHYTHM: SLOW 🐢] Wake up! Rise up! Fight for your life! No dreams for the sleeping — grab what’s right! [Big final guitar feedback crash] [END] ✦ Lyrics by adipit ✦
