Lyrics: [Intro] (twin-guitar harmonized riff, fast harmonic minor melody) (galloping rhythm guitars, dramatic drum fill) [Verse 1] I saw the glass crack before it fell A silver warning in a silent bell The streetlights flickered like a dying flame And every shadow started calling my name A second too early, a heartbeat too late I felt the cold hand moving pieces of fate One wrong turn and the sky came down Now I hear the countdown under this town [Pre-Chorus] Run from the fire, run from the sign But every road is a razor line I close my eyes, but I still can see The ending reaching out for me [Chorus] Final destination Written in the black sky No salvation When the wheel of fate turns blind Final destination I can feel the dark arrive I keep running from tomorrow But tomorrow knows I’m alive [Post-Chorus] (twin-guitar hook returns, harmonized Phrygian dominant phrase) [Verse 2] The elevator groans like a warning prayer A broken wire sparks in the poisoned air The mirror shows me what I should not know Another name falling in the afterglow We cheated the moment, but the moment came back Like a knife in the dark on a one-way track Every breath is borrowed, every step is timed And the next little accident might be mine [Pre-Chorus] Run from the thunder, run from the flame But death keeps learning every face and name I close my eyes, but I still can see The ending reaching out for me [Chorus] Final destination Written in the black sky No salvation When the wheel of fate turns blind Final destination I can feel the dark arrive I keep running from tomorrow But tomorrow knows I’m alive [Instrumental Guitar Duel] [During the instrumental section, create a dramatic two-guitar duel.] [Guitar 1 plays lyrical exotic melodies with harmonic minor and Phrygian dominant flavor.] [Guitar 2 answers with fast neoclassical shred runs, sweep arpeggios, diminished sequences, and rapid legato.] [Both guitars reunite in a harmonized twin-lead theme before the final chorus.] [The duel should feel dangerous, theatrical, and memorable, not random shredding.] (Guitar 1: exotic lyrical melody in harmonic minor) (Guitar 2: fast neoclassical answer with sweep arpeggios) (Guitar 1: dramatic Phrygian dominant bends) (Guitar 2: rapid alternate-picked diminished sequence) (Both guitars unite in harmonized twin-lead melody) [Bridge] If the end has a memory If the night knows my name Can I break the machinery Can I step outside the frame? One spark, one wire One breath, one scream One second from the fire One life inside a dream [Build-Up] (drum stops, clean ominous guitar arpeggio) The clock is not broken The signs never lie The door is wide open But the road says die [Final Chorus] Final destination Written in the black sky No salvation When the wheel of fate turns blind Final destination I can feel the dark arrive I keep running from tomorrow But tomorrow knows I’m alive Final destination No escape, no alibi Final destination Still I raise my fist and fight If the ending wants my shadow Let it come and face the light [Outro] (twin-guitar signature riff returns faster) (harmonized sweep arpeggio ending) (final dramatic full-band hit)
