Verse 1: The Descent (Atmospheric synths, a slow, heavy bass line kicks in. Sounds of static and cosmic winds.) Silver boots touch down in the oily rain I stepped off the beam to find a world in pain. I scanned for signals of a high design But all I found were borders and a jagged line. Your sky is beautiful, a marble blue But the ground is breaking under the weight of you. Verse 2: The Observation (Drums kick in—steady, mid-tempo rock groove. The guitar starts to crunch.) I see a man in silk behind a golden door While a child sleeps cold on the concrete floor. You build your towers til they pierce the clouds But you look right past the hungry in the crowds. You’ve mastered atoms and the speed of light But you use your fire just to win a fight. I’m checking the math, but the math is wrong How have you survived this way for so long? Chorus: The Outcry (Explosive, distorted guitars. High energy, anthemic rock.) Why do the kings play games with the weak? Why is the truth so hard for you to speak? You’re killing the garden to feed the machine The strangest madness I have ever seen! Why? Why? Why? It’s a hollow cry. Verse 3: The Realization (The music gets heavier, more chaotic. Feedback begins to whine.) I saw your missiles pointed at your own heart A masterpiece of tearing yourselves apart. You trade in lies like they were bags of gold While the soul of the planet is being sold. I came for a brother, I came for a friend But I’m looking at a species racing toward the end. Bridge: The Departure (The rock rhythm breaks into a spacey, psychedelic swirl. Vocals become echoed/robotic.) Engines humming... Initiate the climb. Leave the oxygen, leave the grime. They aren't ready for the stars They're still bleeding from their scars. Lock the airlock. Disconnect the feed. Outro: The Warning (The heavy riff returns for one final, crashing bar, then cuts to a cold, pulsing electronic beat.) Retreating to the dark, past the moon’s cold face I’m pulling the curtain on this lonely place. I’ve got my beacon, I’m setting the flare To tell the galaxy: "Stay clear of there." A digital banner in the cosmic night: SECTOR 4: DANGER. KEEP OUT OF SIGHT. (Final sound: A long, fading synthesizer note that sounds like a door slamming shut in space.)
