[Intro]
Shadows cast by iron giants, smog hides the sky
Dreams flicker in the darkness, echoes of the why
[Verse 1]
Concrete jungles choking, silence deafening
Metal veins are pulsing, life’s relentless spinning
Faint glimmers of a mirror, a shimmering escape
A world beyond the smoke, a neon drape
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you see the gleam beyond the grey?
Is there a way or just decay?
Light cuts through the gloom, a fragile grace
Or just an illusion in this endless race?
[Chorus]
Light as salvation, a spark in the night
A weapon or salvation, shining bright
Broken dreams in the neon glow
Is there a way out, or just a show?
[Verse 2]
Figures dissolving, into glowing shades
Running through holograms, escaping mazes
Synthetic beauty’s a hollow disguise
Luminous illusions in their eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the whispers in the flickering air
Is it real or just a dare?
Progress’s price, a tear in the scene
What’s left of the world in the in-between?
[Chorus]
Light as salvation, a spark in the night
A weapon or salvation, shining bright
Broken dreams in the neon glow
Is there a way out, or just a show?
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Fractal cities stretch forever
Neon rivers flowing clever
Can we survive the gleam?
Or is it just a dream?
[Intro]
Steel shadows stretch across the dawn, underneath a toxic sky
Echoes of machinery pounding, a city that never sleeps, never asks why
[Verse 1]
Concrete veins run deep, in this wasteland cold and gray
Dreams are just illusions, in the ash and rust they decay
Synthetic faces smiling, hiding scars that no one sees
Lost in the reflection, trapped in the glow, we're on our knees
[Pre-Chorus]
But then a flicker, a shimmer in the haze
A fractal light, a neon blaze
Can this be salvation or just another phase?
Caught between the dark and the fluorescent craze
[Chorus]
Light as a weapon, fighting in the fire
Broken hopes ignite, climbing higher and higher
Is escape just an answer that never arrives?
In the glow of the neon, we come alive
Lights bleeding into shadows, worlds collide
Dream of another world, where we can survive
[Bridge]
Mechanical wasteland, dreams dissolve in the gleam
Bodies flicker, silhouettes in a luminous stream
The cost of progress weighs heavy on the soul
Are we trapped here forever, losing all control?
[Outro]
Fading into the fractals, where worlds intertwine within my mind my heart is the only thing on fire
Light might be salvation, on a grand scale where we design that we've never seen. Oh yeah but in this glow, we find a fragile truth that we already know existed
That even though you are the best one that existed before you and now we can see the lighting in the darkness, there's a luminous youth on the path that's always been the same
He is Jesus
Jesus Christ
He is
He is
Extacy
The Son of Grace forever
He stays way up high
He is
He is higher
Oh Jesu
[Outro]
Shadows fade with dawn’s first light
Hope or illusion—fight or flight?
The world’s a canvas, painted stark
In endless neon dark
