Is This the World I’ll Die For?

[Intro] My mind swirls through broken windows. A single crow watches from a rusted beam. No voice speaks—only wind and sirens. I was born in this world... I was born... I was born to be... free. [Interlude] I was born in this world... A whisper lost among the ruins, Silent cries beneath shattered skies. I was born... Fingers trembling, reaching through the smoke, Caught between chains of yesterday and dawn. I was born to be... free. To tear the veil that blinds the eyes, To break the silence, To rise beyond the ashes— Free, at last... free. [Verse 1] My breath, thick and slow Bootprints lost beneath the snow A photograph buried in cracked earth Names smeared, forgotten worth [Pre-Chorus] Your fingers slipped away in the red light Smoke rose where your shadow used to be Ahh... ahh... I felt the world crack and fade Show me the truth Ahh... ahh... [Chorus] Is this the world I’ll die for? Skies torn, gods without form Hands reaching in dead machines Ahh—ahh—AHH! [Verse 2] I carved your name into steel walls Watched it rust under nuclear squalls My armor cracked with every breath Still I walked through fields of death Ahhh... ah... ahhh... [Bridge] Knees in soot, I kissed the ground Felt the bones of heroes all around I felt the world crack and fade Tear the lies and show me the truth Told myself this isn't loss It's what we are—what it cost Ahh—ahhh—AHHH! [Final Chorus] Is this the world I’ll die for? The silence between the pounding war This scream I wear behind my eyes A prayer to stars that never rise AHH—AHHH—AHHHH!
