(A low, feedback-drenched guitar note hums before exploding into a heavy, down-tuned, syncopated groove riff. The drums kick in with a powerful, driving beat, heavy on the kick drum and snare. The bass is thick and distorted, locking in with the guitar.) (Verse 1) Smashed on the pavement, a heart turned to dust Welded the fragments with anger and rust Lived in the shadows, denial my home Built up a fortress on a splintered bone Turned from the mirror, escaped from the fight Embraced the cold comfort of an endless night (Pre-Chorus) (The music tightens up, building tension with palm-muted chugs from the guitar) Yeah, it's been too long I've been down... so down... It's time for the new sound... to come around! (Chorus) (The riff opens up, massive and anthemic. Vocals are a powerful, melodic roar.) I'm LOOKING UP! Right at the sun! The grip of the darkness is coming undone! I'm LOOKING UP! The heat on my face! Climbing out of the wreckage of this broken place! (Verse 2) I learned how to duck, yeah, I learned how to shuffle Rolled with the punches, escaped from the muzzle My feet are now planted, my stance is now strong Been holding it back for way too damn long I'm ready to let rip, to finally ignite And hand it back to them, but with a different light (Pre-Chorus) (Music tightens again, the build is more intense this time) Yeah, it's been too long I've been down... so down... It's time for the new sound... TO SHAKE THIS TOWN! (Chorus) (Explodes with even more energy than the first time) I'm LOOKING UP! Right at the sun! The grip of the darkness is coming undone! I'm LOOKING UP! The heat on my face! Climbing out of the wreckage of this broken place! (Verse 3) The static in my head has faded to none The frequency's shifting, a brand new dawn This energy's seismic, a shock to the core I'm not the man I was, not anymore The chains that once held me are links in the dust Forging a new strength from breakthrough and trust. (Bridge) (The music drops to a clean, echoing guitar melody over a heavy, pulsing bassline. The vocals become a near-whisper, filled with intensity.) You thought I'd come back with a fist full of rage? Annihilation written on a brand new page? No... I'm handing it back to them in bunches... Not fists, but flowers... of forgiveness. This fire inside me won't burn me away... Because I'm turning the page... on yesterday. I'M TURNING THE PAGE! (Guitar Solo / Breakdown) (The song erupts into a crushing, mid-tempo breakdown. A rhythmic, squealing guitar solo plays over the top of the bone-jarring groove. Pure power.) (Chorus) (The final chorus slams in, bigger and more defiant than ever.) I'm LOOKING UP! Right at the sun! The grip of the darkness is coming undone! I'm LOOKING UP! The heat on my face! Climbing out of the wreckage of this broken place! (Outro) (The main riff plays once through, heavy and slow.) Look up... at the sun... (Another riff.) The new sound... has come... (One final, massive, distorted power chord rings out and cuts to silence.)
