Declaration

[Intro] [Distant air raid sirens, slow mechanical ticking clock, low ominous drone] [Verse 1] [Heavy military snare drum cadence building up, dark orchestral strings] They told you to sleep They told you to bow They told you the storm would pass But the sky is bleeding now [Pre-Chorus] [Music swells, massive theatrical brass horns rise, ticking speeds up] You pushed a ghost into a corner You buried a flame in the dark Did you really think there wouldn't be a reckoning? Did you really think we wouldn't leave a mark? [Climax] [Full band explodes, massive heavy groove riff, sirens wailing] Look around you! The lines are drawn! The peace is dead! [Outro] [Music suddenly stops, dead silence except for a heavy gunshot sound effect] [Spoken, gritty aggressive whisper] You wanted a war... you got one. [Heavy sub-bass drop] [End]
