[Chorus] We stand alone (alone) / as night devours the day Our fragile hope (hope) / just embers blown away All our rituals (rituals) / the fire we shared Now only faded / whispers in dead air We’ve sought the sky (sky) / for moments passed We ought to cry (cry) / and yet we laugh Entire empires (empires) / are built of sand They'll wash away, for nothing man-made lasts (…nothing man-made lasts) [Hook / Drop] [Spoken Word] “Error detected… interference…” [Build-Up] “I need you to be there,” / but the words fall away Clarity fades / lost in fear’s embrace Loops of madness / a design so cruel My vision falters / my fate, a falling jewel [Chorus] We stand alone (alone) / as night devours the day Our fragile hope (hope) / just embers blown away All our rituals (rituals) / the fire we shared Now only faded whispers in dead air We’ve sought the sky (sky) / for moments passed We ought to cry (cry) / and yet we laugh Entire empires (empires) / are built of sand They'll wash away, for nothing man-made lasts (…nothing man-made lasts) [Spoken Word] "Error 404... humanity not found" [Hook / Drop] [Verse 2] Tipping the scales, with reckless abandon A life untold, buried under the madness Feeding the fire, fueling the ache Chasing the light, but always too late [Spoken word] ("Warning...system compromised!) [Hook / Drop] [Bridge] No dreams to hold / no solace in sight Falling deeper / no edge left to find My reason crumbles / my final descent Subliminal madness / lost in the end Subliminal madness / lost in the end (...subliminal… lost!) / (subliminal…) / (…madness...) (Lost!... lost in the end!!) [Outro, Spoken Word] "Their analysis found... his condition was...above everything else, the perfect device...” "Invaluable for their testing and research..." "Invaluable for their…research…" "Invaluable..."
