[Intro: Explosive electric guitar solo, shredding style, heavy sustain and raw energy] [Verse 1] We leave you cities choking underneath a poisoned sky Plastic seas and broken promises, while all our summers die We traded all your summers for our winters made of gold We played the blind, we knew the truth… but chose to watch and hold We leave you wars and silence, scars we never learned to heal A thousand glowing screens to hide the things we made you feel We burned tomorrow just to keep our nights a little warm And now that you are freezing… we can only say, “Stay strong” [Guitar Riff: Short, sharp and heavily saturated] [Pre-Chorus] If you find this letter buried underneath the ashes It means we should have fought much harder… before everything crashes [Chorus] We’re sorry for the grey skies, for the seasons that we lost Sorry for the dreams we never fought for, no matter what the cost We leave you broken ruins and the keys to a worn-out world A poisoned inheritance, a future left unfurled We’re sorry for our silence, for our profits and our lies For seeing all the warning signs and looking past your eyes If hope is still alive, it’s in your clenched and shaking hands Inside this poisoned inheritance, you’ll have to make a stand [Guitar Riff: Melodic and heroic lead guitar] [Verse 2] We told you, “Work harder,” but the future locked its door We told you, “Keep moving,” but there’s nothing waiting anymore You walk across our failures like a battlefield of mines Beneath the weight of ancient rules, collapsing out of time We left you debts you cannot see, but feel them every day Anger buried deep inside, with every truth we pushed away You scream into the silence, and we call it “youthful rage” But this is not a crisis… it’s a distress call from your age [Guitar Riff: Fast and technical] [Pre-Chorus] And if your voices tremble, it isn’t fear or weakness It’s the weight of all our failures crushing down on your knees [Chorus] We’re sorry for the grey skies, for the seasons that we lost Sorry for the dreams we never fought for, no matter what the cost We leave you broken ruins and the keys to a worn-out world A poisoned inheritance, a future left unfurled We’re sorry for our silence, for our profits and our lies For seeing all the warning signs and looking past your eyes If hope is still alive, it’s in your clenched and shaking hands Inside this poisoned inheritance, you’ll have to make a stand [Guitar Riff: Heavy and rhythmic] [Bridge] But maybe underneath the concrete Rebellion rises to its feet Maybe you will do what we never knew Break every lock and break on through We weren’t all bad… just absent far too long Watching the world burn while pretending nothing’s wrong [Final Guitar Solo: Epic, emotional and increasingly intense, building toward the ending] [Final Chorus] We’re sorry for the grey skies, for the seasons that we lost Sorry for the dreams we never fought for, no matter what the cost We leave you broken ruins and the keys to a worn-out world A poisoned inheritance, a future left unfurled We’re sorry for our silence, for our profits and our lies For seeing all the warning signs and looking past your eyes Now it’s yours to rewrite, yours to tear the old apart Yours to build tomorrow from the ashes of our past Despite this poisoned inheritance Despite this poisoned inheritance You can still rewrite the ending You can still make a new beginning
