(Intro) [Sad solitary piano, slow ambient violin, distant fading siren] [Build up: Heavy low bass cello, clock ticking sound] (Verse 1) The siren wails, tearing through the silent night, Against the rushing crowd, I charge into the blinding light. The roaring flames, a greedy beast devouring the air, But someone's trapped inside, I hear their desperate prayer. My boots are heavy, choking smoke is freezing my chest. (Verse 2) The walls are collapsing, why is this structure built so weak? The firewalls we trusted, turn to powder as they creak. No solid steel, just crumbling stone, a trap of guaranteed death, How many greedy demons traded dollars for our breath? This shoddy concrete became our sudden, nameless grave, Your blind corruption buried those we came to save! (Chorus) [Explosive drums, heavy guitar riffs, soaring powerful vocals] Don’t crown me as a hero! Don't place it on my head! Don’t drown my final scream with the praises for the dead! I don’t want my name carved on a cold stone wall, I just want to go home, and hear my daughter call! Those hands that cut the corners, you buried your own soul, Your negligence shattered a family that was whole! (Interlude) [Melancholic guitar solo, crying violin duet] (Verse 3) The flowers on the street, they pile up so high, The media proclaims my glory to the burning sky. But who will see the tears in my mother’s blind eyes? Who will mend my wife’s heart, shattered by your lies? The louder the applause, the more ironic it sounds, Standing in the ruins of these hollow, broken grounds! (Verse 4) This is no act of God! This is murder in disguise! For the sake of dirty profits, you skipped the safety lines! You sit in luxury villas, counting blood-stained cash, While we are torn to pieces in this fiery crash! Using innocent lives to fill your bottomless hole! (Chorus) [Maximum intensity, screaming emotional vocals] Don’t crown me as a hero! Don't place it on my head! Don’t drown my final scream with the praises for the dead! I don’t want my name carved on a cold stone wall, I just want to go home, and hear my daughter call! Those hands that cut the corners, you buried your own soul, Your negligence shattered a family that was whole! (Guitar Solo) [Epic progressive guitar solo, high pitch, crying tone, 30 seconds] [Drums marching rhythm, symphonic brass rising] (Bridge) [Music suddenly drops, quiet acoustic guitar, heavy breathing] Innocent souls, burning with me in the deep, Beautiful lies can’t hide the promises you didn't keep. The respect of the world can’t bring my warmth back to life, Can my sacrifice awake your conscience in the night?! (Screaming) I can’t go back! I can’t go back! (Guitar Solo 2) [Fast double bass drumming, chaotic thrash metal riff] (Chorus) [Full orchestra band, ultimate breakdown chorus] Don’t crown me as a hero! Don't place it on my head! I reject this glorious sacrifice, I’d rather live instead! I just want to go home, and hold the ones I love, Can you hear us screaming from the smoke above? Your shameless greed, your dirty, guilty hands, Have shattered our home into forgotten sands! (Outro) [Music fading out, slow piano keys] The fire is out... The dawn is breaking through... But my home... I can never get back to you... [Faint heartbeat stops] [Silence]
