THE FIRE

[INTRO GUITAR ] [Clean electric guitar (reverb + delay)] [Slow arpeggio, single notes] [No distortion yet] [No drums] [Optional: light floor swell at last 2 seconds] [ Mood: empty, tense, cinematic] Midnight falls like a loaded gun, The room still echoes your name. I trace the cracks where we came undone, Feel your ghost in the flame. I’m wide awake in a losing fight, Every breath feels like borrowed time, with you gone. [Guitar:Clean rhythm guitar continues] [Second guitar adds volume swells on bar ends] [ Drums:] [Still no full drums] [Optional closed hi-hat ghost taps halfway through verse] [ HIT:On line:] Feel your ghost in the flame [ short low guitar hit (mute after)] I thought I’d learned how to be strong, But you were right, all along. [Pre-Chorus] I’m burning out, I’m losing ground, [Guitar:Add light overdrive] [Palm-muted eighth notes building tension] [Drums: Kick enters softly] [Snare rim clicks only] [SINGER fill leading into chorus] [ BUILD HIT:] [Last word “somehow”- rising guitar slide + drum fill] Every road still leads me back to you somehow. [Chorus] [Guitar:Full distortion ON] [Wide open power chords] [Lead guitar sustains notes above rhythm] [ Drums:Full kit enters] [Strong kick on 1 & 3] [Snare big and open on 2 & 4] [HITS:] I’ll be the fire [ crash + chord stab] I’ll be the thunder [ double crash hit] Wherever you run, I’ll find you there, Through broken skies and empty prayers. When the world falls hard and pulls you under, I’ll be the fire, I’ll be the thunder. After the dark, after the pain, When nothing else remains— I’ll be the fire. I'll be the fire .......
