[Intro] [distorted electric guitar riff, syncopated drums] [harmonized lead guitar melody] [Verse 1] [palm-muted guitar, bass and drums lock in] Somewhere on the edge of time There is a war that must be fought Someone, something must die Sacrificed in the good fight All those who opposed But there's loss on both sides As any war I suppose But what will suffer the most [Pre-Chorus] [vocal intensity increases, synth pads swell] All that didn't appreciate how you feel All that deviates from your ideals All that didn't acknowledge your greatness [Chorus] [full band, driving double-kick drums] But what you take for granted What you fail to understand Is that in the end None of this truly matters Nothing will last forever [Instrumental Break] [technical guitar solo with sweep picking and rapid scales] [Verse 2] [rhythm section continues, staccato guitar stabs] It must be maddening now To constantly fight with yourself So you force this war on everyone else [Pre-chorus] It must kill you to think Your purpose, your existence Is of something insignificant in the greater scheme of things You're no better than those you hate You are the same still Just another ant on the hill [Chorus] [layered vocal harmonies] But what you take for granted What you fail to understand Is that in the end (in the end, in the end) None of this truly matters Nothing will last forever [Bridge] [lead guitar melody over heavy rhythm] You must be so proud No worth better than yours The gatekeeper of freedom itself And to all of us of course [Chorus] [maximum intensity, heavy crash cymbals] But what you take for granted What you fail to understand Is that in the end (in the end, in the end) None of this truly matters All paths have the same end Nothing will last forever [Outro] [drums drop to half-time feel] What you take for granted What you fail to understand Is that in the end (in the end, in the end) None of this truly matters All things come to an end All paths have the same end Nothing lasts forever [bass and guitar fade out] Nothing will last forever The end is imminent [final synth chord rings out]
