The Dice are cast into the Void

[Intro – whisper] Alea iacta est. [Verse 1] The time for prayers is over. No savior in the wings. If judgment has a heartbeat, it’s beating in our chests. I’ll answer for my failures, or light a cleansing flame. [Instrumental Short] [Pre-Chorus] All rise—no second takes. The sky spells out the truth. [Chorus] Time of times is here. I steady my breath. No redo, no net— we’re measured by our steps. Now or never—now. Head up. Step through. [Instrumental Buildup] [Verse 2] The scales hum under thunder; the ledger glows with names. Our vows have turned to iron; the crown presses its weight. I meet you at the threshold— where mercy weighs our fate. [Pre-Chorus] No choir, no curtain— only what we choose. [Chorus – Variant I] Time of times is here. Hands open, eyes clear. No softer edit— Make your move—I hold. No surrender—only truth. [Verse 3] The banners fold in silence, the trumpets fade to ash. The future splits like lightning along a line of trust. I’ll own my shadow fully; you answer for your words. [Instrumental Buildup] [Pre-Chorus – Variant] No saints, no omens— only breath and bone. [Chorus – Variant II] Time of times is here. I hold the line. No referee, no script— speak truth, I’ll speak mine. If this cut draws the border, I claim my side. [Bridge – hopeful] Still—there is a path between the ruins and the blaze. We lay the knives aside, we speak in steady light. We count tomorrow’s bread, and begin in daylight. [Break – whisper] Alea iacta est… or not—if we choose. [Final Chorus – decisive, uplifting] Time of times is here. I shift my weight forward. Offer me the way back— or brace for impact. If doors must close, I’ll rise. Will you? [Outro – whisper to fade] Alea iacta est. Let it roll.
