[Intro: low strings, distant drums] [Female] What a thrill… With darkness and silence through the night [Male] I’ve been walking through your shadow Trying to become the light --- [Verse 1] [Male] Every step I take is heavier Every truth begins to fade Was I trained to be a soldier Or a weapon you have made [Female] I was there before your first breath I was there to shape your name But the world we live in now Has turned love into a game --- [Pre-Chorus: tension] [Male] What a fear in my heart I can’t turn away [Female] You must finish what you started Even if I’m in your way --- [Chorus: emotional clash] [Male] I give my life Not for honour, but for you [Female] Then prove to me You can do what you must do [Both] In the fire, in the rain We are bound by blood and pain Snake eater [soft female backing vocal: snake eater] --- [Verse 2] [Male] Every memory is breaking Every lesson feels like lies If I pull the trigger now Do I lose myself inside [Female] You were never meant for peace You were born to carry war If you hesitate right now You’ll become what you abhor --- [Pre-Chorus: rising] [Male] What a fear in my heart I still hear your voice [Female] There is no more turning back This is your only choice --- [Chorus: stronger] [Male] I give my life Not for honour, but for you [Female] Then take the shot And become the truth you knew [Both] Through the sorrow, through the flame We will never be the same Snake eater [soft female backing vocal: snake eater, echo] --- [Bridge: quiet → explosive] [Male] Tell me why it had to be this way [Female] Because the world must turn And heroes cannot stay [Male] If I pull the trigger now… [Female] Then you will finally become [Both: overlap] What you were meant to be --- [Final Chorus: epic, tragic] [Male] I give my life Not for honour, but for you [Female] And I will fall So the world can live through you [Both] In the silence, in the end We were more than just pretend Snake eater [soft female backing vocal: snake eater, layered] --- [Outro: fading strings] [Female, soft] You did well… [Male, broken] Boss…
