**Intro:** *(Whispered over sparse guitar picking)* *"Can you see the flames from here? The watchtower stands... but no one's listening..."* **Verse 1:** Brick by brick, they built it tall, Eyes on the horizon, blind to the fall. Whispers rise like shifting sand, But the man at the top just waves his hand. **Chorus:** *(Explosive guitars, anthemic)* The watchtower burns! But nobody turns— Too busy shouting down the wind. The watchtower falls! And the liar still calls— "Nothing's wrong, just look away again!" **Verse 2:** Sirens scream through midnight air, Ash on their tongues, but they don’t care. "Just a drill," the loudspeaker lies, While the flames lick higher, swallowing the skies. **Bridge:** *(Sparse, eerie, half-spoken)* *"I tried to warn you... But you called it treason. Now the smoke’s so thick— You can’t even breathe, son."* **Verse 3:** The rats are the first to flee the maze, Leaving kings to drown in their own praise. The tower cracks—a thunder sound, But the crowd just hums and stares at the ground. **Chorus:** *(Repeat, more desperate)* **Verse 4:** Now the rubble hides the names, Of those who fed us to the flames. But somewhere in the ember glow, A new song starts... soft, and slow. **Bridge:** *(Reprise, whispered)* *"Can you see the flames from here...?"* **Outro:** *(Acoustic, fading)* The watchtower’s gone... But the echoes remain. And the wind carries voices— *"Never again."*
