Was It Written?

Title: “Was It Written?” [Intro | soft piano] Is this the life we chose? Or just a cruel design? Two hearts against the world… while the world draws the line… [Verse 1 | ballad] I saw her in the dark, beneath divided skies, they whisper through the walls, turn truth into their lies. They say her name’s forbidden, a line we can’t undo, but every beat inside me… keeps calling out for you. [Pre-Chorus] If fate has closed the door… what are we fighting for? [Chorus] Tell me, can love break these chains? Or are we bound to the pain? If I stand against it all, will I rise or will I fall? Are we written to be free… or just a tragedy? [Operatic Section | tight & rhythmic] (Choir) Pride! — Honor! (Choir) Love! — Desire! (Choir) Old flames burn higher! Let her go! — Never! Let her go! — Never! No, no, no! (Protagonist) If this is my sin… let judgment begin! [Rock Section | punchy, short lines] Break the rules, break the pain, no one tells me who to love, shout her name, in the rain, fight the fate from above! No more fear, no more lies, I won’t run, I won’t hide, if I lose everything… at least I tried! [Bridge | short drop] In the night… I still hear… everything I fear… [Outro | simple, emotional] If it’s written in the stars… why does it hurt this way? Is there hope for us… or nothing left to say… (soft) Was it written… we’d fade away?
