The Pendulum

(Intro) Two faces gleam, A wrecking swing through time’s grip, Contradictions scar the same worn face. A fragile rise, a thunderous fall. The pendulum reigns, both cruel and kind. (Verse 1) The world swings heavy, left to right, A fragile thread where the fates rejoin. Creators build on a trembling stage, Destroyers laugh in a timeless rage, A cycle spinning with no clear end. (Chorus) The Pendulum is a wrecking ball, Crashing through the rise and fall, Tearing down what we adore, Building up what came before. Back and forth, it never stalls, The Pendulum is a wrecking ball. (Verse 2) Culture bends to the hands that shape, Voices clash in the midnight air, A tug of war no one can repair. The tide pulls hard, the anchors break, Influenced hearts shift with the breeze, Caught in the sway (Bridge) Swing high, swing low, the weight won’t rest, The past collides with the yet-to-be, A wrecking force sets the future free. (Outro) Two sides spin, forever bound, A silent roar in the crashing sound, The world sways on, through joy and pain, A pendulum swings, and we’re all the same.
