The Forging Tide

[Intro] [bass slaps] I've drained the promised chalices Found them lined with rust, Watched the rehearsed convictions Dissolve to chains of dust. Now the hourglass shatters— Mercury floods the floor... Time to weld my path From what's been ignored. [Interlude] [Verse 1] This neural forge ignites Melting moribund vows, Casting fresh commandments In the kiln of my brows. Promises weren't wandering— They were flares in the void... Now the mold's my own To break or deploy. [Chorus 1] Let the surge consume you Or lift you to the light! The wave won't beg forgiveness As it grinds the cliffs to bite. CLOSE YOUR EYES— The compass spins beneath your veins... All the charts they sold you Are just ink-stains in the rain. [Verse 2] The core's not unbroken— It's a blade that learned to yield, Tempered in the whirlwind Of orbits unrevealed. [Verse 3] When fixation becomes scripture And dread fuels the chase— That's when embers remember They're meant to scorch the maze. [Chorus 2] Let the riptide shape you Or drown you in its weight! The coral never questions Why it carves as it waits. OPEN YOUR EYES— The architect's your oldest ghost... All their gilded rules Were just rigging for the coast. [Bridge] [offbeat rhythms] [harmonic bass] [Electric piano] [Syncopation] [quick fills] Sink the clock's pendulum In quicksilver and wine, Let the astral equations Reconfigure their lines. Now that blindness scratched the varnish... I see through the design. [Guitar Solo] [shredding] [sweeps] [tapping] [Chorus 3] Let the vortex test you Or crown you in its spray! The leviathan's whisper Is just wind gone astray. FIND YOUR EYES— The lighthouse was your spine all along... All their painted truths Were just rigging for the dawn [Interlude] [Outro] Find all you need in the undertow... Find all you are in the swell... The tide was never your master— Just the anvil where you fell. [Guitar Solo]
