[Intro] Dust on the windows, red on the horizon Sirens went quiet, now the ground is rising Count every breath, keep your eyes on the wire The last hour is here, and the world’s on fire [Verse 1] Shelter door buckles, bolts start to bend No more warnings left to send Maps turned useless, names washed away We learned how to live with a debt to the day Ash in the water, steel in the rain Every old promise comes back as a chain You built your throne on a cracked foundation Now hear that fracture beneath the nation [Pre-Chorus] When the black clouds split And the towers fall There’s nowhere left to run No one left to call [Chorus] The time is near, feel the pressure climb One spark away from the end of time Stand your ground when the dead winds steer No turning back—the time is near [Verse 2] Engines cough beneath a poisoned sky We mark the safe roads by the bodies outside Hands on the wheel, with a blade at the door Every mile takes more than the mile before They sold us tomorrow in pieces and smoke Now every machine wears the shape of a joke No crown, no savior, no final parade Just teeth in the dark and the choices we made [Breakdown] Lock it down Cut the lights Hold the line Through the night The ground gives way The walls come down We are still here We will not bow [Chorus] The time is near, feel the pressure climb One spark away from the end of time Stand your ground when the dead winds steer No turning back—the time is near [Bridge] If this is the last page, write it in scars If this is the last road, follow the stars Not for the ashes, not for the fear We face the collapse while the end draws near [Final Chorus] The time is near, let the whole world hear We were built in the ruin, we were forged in fear Stand your ground when the dead winds steer No turning back—the time is near [Outro] Dust settles slowly But the pulse remains The time is near And we rise through the flames
