V3.5

Author Notes:
This song speaks climbs down the spiraling path of literal radioactive decay as well as physical, moral decay.   It grapples with the darker realities of our world and delves into themes of decay, existential dread, and the relentless passage of time. The lyrics depict a world marred by greed, environmental collapse, and the unavoidable march toward destruction. The message is a somber reflection on the fragility of life and the inevitable consequences of humanity's actions.

[INTRO]
In the shadowed recesses of this decaying world I dwell
Silent witness to the ballet of atoms as they creep toward hell

[HOOK]
A nucleus breaks...........(breaks.....breaks)
A world of mistakes.........(mistakes.....mistakes)
The foundation shakes.........(shakes.....shakes)
Hand of death takes..........(takes.....takes)

TAKES!!!

[VERSE 1]
In the heart of atoms, a chain reaction unfolds,
This dark revelation, slowly our future it molds.
As particles collide, and our destiny's are sealed,
Like thief in the night, its deadly chains are revealed. (revealed.....revealed)

[CHORUS]
Decay is a shadow, relentless and cold,
In the half-life of dreams, our stories are told.
Through fissures of time, we strive so hard to be bold,
In a world where truth, is a shackle so cold.
Try as we might, the end already foretold,
The tales that we weave are just ashes from gold. (gold......gold)

GOLD!!!!!

[VERSE 2]
Dynasties built on greed, on fractured shoulders of poor;
Dying species, genocides, and climate changes they ignore.
In my marrow, the Geiger clicks as isotopes prevail,
Grand leaps of technology, paint the futures grim tale.
My body once whole, now a casualty fractured and torn,
The fall of man, a shattered dream, broken mirrors, now worn. (worn.....worn)

WORN!!!!!

GOLD!!!!!

[OUTRO]
This never-ending cycle, leaves the world in disarray,
We are merely observers, offspring of this decay;
Tick-tock goes the clock, as time passes we fade.
Come judgement day, the light within our souls weighed;
Before that day comes I pray you give up the charade. (charade.....charade)

CHARADE!!!!!

[HOOK]
A nucleaus breaks...........(breaks.....breaks)
A world of mistakes.........(mistakes.....mistakes)
The foundation shakes.........(shakes.....shakes)
Hand of death takes..........(takes.....takes)

TAKES!!!

GOLD!!!!!

The tree of life with deep roots, twists in pain against the sway;
Of radioactive ballets endless linear decay.

Decay......decay (decay.....decay)

DECAY!!!!!

[FADE TO END]
[END]
