V5

[VERSE 1] We slip through the heavens glow, reflected on the mirrored sea. No man, no beast left to control or threaten me. At last we were finally free. "At Last". At last we were finally free. "Free at last". At last it's just you... and me. You claimed you didn't know the truth. How the world we new finally caved in on through. Caved on in, through the weight of its greed. No one was spared, not one was freed. Freed from the life they were living in. Until the apocalypse signaled our end... [PRE-CHORUS] The silent stillness, the storm dragons sings, Over the bones of forgotten peasants and kings... No one was spared from the liquid fire rain [CHORUS / HOOK] (Hook) “Oh no, how the masts do creak, through the end we go,” No more cities, no more neon's nightly glow. Row, row, and the boards did shrink, through the drowned abyss we seek, Two hearts adrift with the world on fire . Row, row, we sail on through, though the futures bleak — The world is now just one big funeral pyre, The fire took the world, but it spared our souls. Now the only safe haven... is a rusty ship full of holes [VERSE 2] We lay upon a splintered deck, no more chores, no time to check. We lay there in the midnight sun. With a skeleton dog and a loaded gun. The cities burned a decade ago... With humanity dying out painfully slow. All that's left is a handful of the lucky ones... Or maybe we are doomed and should have died with the raining down fire suns... [PRE-CHORUS] The silent stillness, the storm dragons sings, Over the bones of forgotten peasants and kings... No one was spared from the liquid fire rain [CHORUS / HOOK] (Hook) “Oh no, how the masts do creak, through the end we go,” No more cities, no more neon's nightly glow. Row, row, and the boards did shrink, through the drowned abyss we seek, Two hearts adrift with the world on fire . Row, row, we sail on through, though the futures bleak — The world is now just one big funeral pyre, The fire took the world, but it spared our souls. Now the only safe haven... is a rusty ship full of holes [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK – 1:55–2:40] (Heavy distorted guitar riff enters with pounding toms, violin overlays a haunting melody — transitions into a half-time grunge groove) [BRIDGE – 2:41–3:20] [BREAKDOWN / CHANT – 3:21–3:55] (Shanty rhythm, gang vocals, stomps + claps) All: Sail on and on we go — the sky’s on fire! Row, row — as the waves climb higher! Sail on and on is all we know — no grave, no pyre! Row, row — through the flood and fire! The crimson sky bares witness to the liar! The liar that set this world on fire! [FINAL CHORUS / HOOK – 3:56–4:35+] (Hook) “Oh no, how the masts do creak, through the end we go,” No more cities, no more neon's nightly glow. Row, row, and the boards did shrink, through the drowned abyss we seek, Two hearts adrift with the world on fire . Row, row, we sail on through, though the futures bleak — The world is now just one big funeral pyre, The fire took the world, but it spared our souls. Now the only safe haven... is a rusty ship full of... holes [OUTRO – 4:36–end] (Guitar feedback fading under violin and soft accordion drones) (Whispered (male/female alternating)): “When the world forgets that humanity lived, A new dawn will see us rise again.” (Fade out with ocean sounds + seagulls distorted by static)
