Nothing lasts | First Line Defense

[beeping] [beeping] [Polyrhythmic Percussion] [pulsing synths] [male vocals] [bass intro] [Verse 1] Fear of fading, losing time, Searching for a way to feel sublime. Money spent, in hope we find, A way to cheat the end, leave death behind. [Pre-Chorus] Coming closer, closing in, our creator, gaining clarity of the begin. [Chorus] Throwing money at the fading light, Medicine and tech, we prolong the fight. But in the end, we’re just a breath, No escape from the shadow of death. [Verse 2] Clinics promise eternal youth, Machines and potions, they hide the truth. Chasing dreams of endless life, But all we gain is fleeting time. [Pre-Chorus] Coming closer, closing in, our creator, gaining clarity of the begin. [Chorus] Throwing money at the fading light, Medicine and tech, we prolong the fight. But in the end, we’re just a breath, No escape from the shadow of death. [Heavy reverb] [bass solo] [Bridge] In the labs, the needles gleam, Promising a timeless dream. Yet in our hearts, we know the tale, Nothing lasts, we all will pale. [Breakdown] Afraid to face the silent end, Seeking cures, our wills we bend. Every heartbeat, every cry, Fighting against the final goodbye. [Pre-Chorus] Coming closer, closing in, our creator, gaining clarity of the begin. [Chorus] Throwing money at the fading light, Medicine and tech, we prolong the fight. But in the end, we’re just a breath, No escape from the shadow of death. [Verse 3] Billions spent on every cure, Seeking solace, we endure. Yet the mirror shows the lie, Even stars in the sky will die. [Pre-Chorus] Coming closer, closing in, our creator, gaining clarity of the begin. [Chorus] Throwing money at the fading light, Medicine and tech, we prolong the fight. But in the end, we’re just a breath, No escape from the shadow of death. [increasing tension] [heavy reverb] [meldodic interlude] [Outro] In our quest to live, we learn, Everything must someday turn. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, In the end, decay is just. [sudden ending] [beeping] [beeping]
