[Verse 1: Intimate Driving Male Vocals] Your picture flickering on the phone Left on the nightstand all alone The black screen went without a spark And left me frozen in the dark [Pre-Chorus 1: Passionate Female Vocals, Building Tension] You said the suffering would pass You swore the truth would set us free But every promise turned to glass And every shard cut back to me [Chorus: Upfront Duet, Stacked Harmonies, Driving Beat] We won’t crumble into silence We will not bow before the past You stole the ground beneath our feet You cannot make this ruin last! Look at us standing in the clear With every truth you couldn’t speak Beneath the shattered morning sky We take our names and leave tonight! [Verse 2: Intimate Driving Female Vocals] The picture tumbled from the wood Face down upon the floor it stood I let it lie where shadows fall No need to answer to your call [Pre-Chorus 2: Passionate Male Vocals, Building Drums] You called the empty silence peace You wanted distance to increase I hear the heavy iron slide And cast your shadow far aside [Chorus: Upfront Duet, Stacked Harmonies, Full Power] We won’t crumble into silence We will not bow before the past You stole the ground beneath our feet You cannot make this ruin last! Look at us standing in the clear With every truth you couldn’t speak Beneath the shattered morning sky We take our names and leave tonight! [Instrumental Break - Melodic Pop-Rock Guitar Solo] [Bridge: Dynamic Call-and-Response Duet] [Male Vocals] I carried weight you wouldn't name [Female Vocals] I kept you safe inside the flame [Both Duet Vocals] No longer living in the gray We blow the bitter ash away! [Final Chorus: Maximum Vocal Energy, Exploding Guitars] We won’t crumble into silence We will not bow before the past You stole the ground beneath our feet You cannot make this ruin last! Look at us standing in the clear With every truth you couldn’t speak Beneath the shattered morning sky We take our lives and claim the light! [Outro: Upfront Duet, Resolute & Fading Harmony] The heavy latch, the open door We are not prisoners anymore Beyond the ruins, in the dawn The past is dead, and we move on!
