[Intro] (Deep, resonating cello solo builds into a heavy, industrial drum beat) [Verse 1] The air is cold, the truth is thinning We’re playing games where no one’s winning A million shadows on the wall Waiting for the sky to fall You sold us hope in a broken jar Now we don’t even know who we are [Pre-Chorus] The silence is a loaded gun Nowhere left for us to run Can you feel the tension break? How much more can one soul take? [Chorus] We’re standing on the edge of the light Facing down the gravity of the fight It’s the ghost in the machine, the lie we believe The web of the secrets they want us to weave We won’t back down, we won’t give in This is where the war begins! [Verse 2] They paint the world in shades of grey To wash the evidence away But there’s a fire beneath the skin The architecture of our sin The line is drawn, the fuse is lit And we are not afraid of it [Chorus] We’re standing on the edge of the light Facing down the gravity of the fight It’s the ghost in the machine, the lie we believe The web of the secrets they want us to weave We won’t back down, we won’t give in This is where the war begins! [Bridge] (Cello solo - fast, aggressive shredding style) Break the glass! Tear the veil! In this storm, we will not fail! (Vocals build to a soaring high note) WITNESS US! [Guitar and Cello Climax] [Final Chorus] We’re standing on the edge of the light Facing down the gravity of the fight It’s the ghost in the machine, the lie we believe The web of the secrets they want us to weave We won’t back down, we won’t give in This is where the war begins! [Outro] Where the war begins... (Fading cello melody) What we're up against. [End]
