[Intro] A box on the table, no label, no lock Just a whisper that said “don’t touch” [Verse 1] They said it was measured, a necessary spark Just a line in the dust, just a shot in the dark Maps on the table, voices low Every move calculated, or so they thought they know But the wind don’t listen, it carries its own And the seeds of a storm don’t need to be sown One hand on the lever, one eye on the prize Never saw the fire waking in disguise [Pre-Chorus] You thought you held the key You thought you knew the cost But some doors swing both ways And some lines can’t be crossed [Chorus] You opened Pandora’s box, now it won’t stay closed Every shadow’s got a name, every secret exposed You can’t outrun the night, you can’t silence the clock You opened Pandora’s box You opened Pandora’s box, let the chaos breathe Now it’s written in the dust, in the air we breathe You can’t pray it away, you can’t chain what you’ve lost You opened Pandora’s box [Verse 2] It started as a whisper, now it’s a roar Echoes in the valley, knocking on every door What you called control, what you called a game Now it’s carving its mark, now it’s staking its claim Every action a ripple, every ripple a wave Every choice digging deeper than the hole that you gave You can dress it in reason, you can call it defense But the truth don’t bend to coincidence [Pre-Chorus] You thought you held the flame Without getting burned But fire’s got a memory And it always returns [Chorus] You opened Pandora’s box, now it won’t stay closed Every shadow’s got a name, every secret exposed You can’t outrun the night, you can’t silence the clock You opened Pandora’s box You opened Pandora’s box, let the chaos breathe Now it’s written in the dust, in the air we breathe You can’t pray it away, you can’t chain what you’ve lost You opened Pandora’s box [Bridge] And the angels cried and asked why... From the silence above to the fault lines below Who gave you the right to decide what we know? You played with the spark, now you’re feeding the fire Built a throne out of fear, now you’re trapped in the pyre [Break] No hand can close what’s already undone No shadow can hide from the rising sun [Final Chorus] You opened Pandora’s box, now it won’t stay closed Every shadow’s got a name, every secret exposed You can’t outrun the night, you can’t silence the clock You opened Pandora’s box You opened Pandora’s box, hear the echo call From the cracks in the ground to the writing on the wall You can’t turn it around, you can’t undo the cost You opened Pandora’s box [Outro] A box on the table, no warning, no lock Now the world’s wide open… Pandora’s box
