[Intro] [Distant ambient guitar echo, steady floor tom heartbeat rhythm] [Fuzzed bass slides in, building tempo] [Explosive chiming lead guitar hook in the style of The Script] [Verse 1] [Atmospheric, tight dry drums, crisp vocal] Edge of the caldera, stone giving way beneath my heel Looking for a sensation sharp enough to actually feel The wind is blowing sulfur, the baseline starts to hum I knew the consequences long before the sparks had come You said caution keeps you breathing, but it keeps you cold as lead I’d rather choke on oxygen than sleep inside the dead [Pre-Chorus] [Bass line accelerates, hi-hats opening up, vocal intensity climbing] The heat is rising through the leather of my soles A single spark is consuming all my goals Don't reach out your hand unless you're prepared to jump Feel the tremor hit, feel the double thump [Chorus] [Massive wall of sound, arena drums, soaring vocal delivery] We’re volcano diving, straight into the crimson glow! Leaving every silent sorrow buried down below! Let the molten current take the anchor and the chain If we gotta burn to heal, then let it burn the pain! Yeah, we dive, we dive, headfirst through the steam Waking up the embers of a long-abandoned dream! [Post-Chorus] [Guitar riff hook, heavy syncopated snare hits] Down into the fire, down into the deep No more promises that I could never keep! [Verse 2] [Half-time feel, picked electric guitar, rhythmic vocal cadence] Blackened rock and obsidian veins, the air is getting thin Mapping out the fractures underneath our blistered skin Most folks build a shelter and they pray the ridge won't crack I packed up every memory and burned the pathway back You told me I was reckless, said I’d turn to ash by night At least the fire showing me the way is blinding bright [Pre-Chorus] [Building snare roll, bass swelling, Danny O'Donoghue passionate strain] The crater lip is crumbling, nowhere left to stand No more negotiations with an empty hand Take the final breath, let the summit break away We were never built to survive another quiet day [Chorus] [Explosive arena drop, huge wide stereo guitars, soaring lead vocal] We’re volcano diving, straight into the crimson glow! Leaving every silent sorrow buried down below! Let the molten current take the anchor and the chain If we gotta burn to heal, then let it burn the pain! Yeah, we dive, we dive, headfirst through the steam Waking up the embers of a long-abandoned dream! [Guitar Solo] [Soaring, melodic, chiming delay-drenched lead guitar, arena-sized] [Bridge] [Drums drop to solitary kick pulse, vocal raw and intimate] They warn you of the impact, they warn you of the fall Nobody talks about the freeze when you don't jump at all [Snare builds, layered harmony begins to swell] Nobody tells you safety is an early cemetery stone I'd rather face the furnace than freeze out here alone! [Full band returns with crash cymbals] Brace for the contact! [Chorus] [Maximum stadium dynamics, gang vocal backing harmonies, powerful belt] We’re volcano diving, straight into the crimson glow! Leaving every silent sorrow buried down below! Let the molten current take the anchor and the chain If we gotta burn to heal, then let it burn the pain! Yeah, we dive, we dive, headfirst through the steam Waking up the embers of a long-abandoned dream! [Outro] [Driving rhythm continues, lead guitar weaving around ad-libs] Straight into the heat... Never look behind... Into the glow... [Guitars ringing out with heavy reverb and delay feedback] [Fade out with ambient synth hum]
