Forbidden alliances

--- [Intro, restrained, clean guitar arpeggios, subdued vocals] It started where the tracks gave out, An old footpath no one talks about. We didn’t plan; we didn’t wait, Just two directions meeting at fate. --- [Verse 1, reflective, grounded] You had your reasons; I had my pride, We never meant to stand side by side. The boards groaned loud; the cables swayed, But we didn’t flinch, and we didn’t stray. No banners flew, no lines were drawn, Just quiet steps where we didn’t belong. --- [Pre-Chorus, tension building, muted drums] They said, “Turn back, this isn’t your fight,” But we saw the path and knew it was right. --- [Chorus, raw, minimalist, full band surge] The bridge no one ever crossed was thin, Two lives too stubborn to give in. The world said “no,” but we said “now,” No safety nets, just common ground. --- [Verse 2, vivid storytelling, sharp detail] We carried the weight of what came before, Years of silence, an unwritten war. You asked me why; I said, “Does it show?” You shrugged and said, “It’s the only road.” The air was thick; the river was loud, Each step a risk, but we never bowed. --- [Pre-Chorus, gripping, raw delivery] They warned, “You’ll fall, there’s no way through,” But the bridge held firm, and so did you. --- [Chorus, raw, minimalist, full band surge] The bridge no one ever crossed was thin, Two lives too stubborn to give in. The world said “no,” but we said “now,” No safety nets, just common ground. --- [Bridge, stripped-back, emotional clarity] You paused mid-step, and I heard you say, “Do we walk, or do we turn away?” I thought of the years spent drawing these lines, And said, “If we stop, it’s the end of time.” So we moved ahead, no more debate, Two lives crossing what couldn’t wait. --- [Chorus, emphatic, soaring vocals, layered guitars] The bridge no one ever crossed was thin, Two lives too stubborn to give in. The world said “no,” but we said “now,” No safety nets, just common ground. No safety nets, just common ground. --- [Outro, reflective, quiet instrumentation] The bridge still sways; the boards still creak, A story left for no one to speak. But you and I, we hold the thread, Of what we crossed and what we said. ---
