(Verse 1)
The ash is falling like snow upon the street
I’m staring at the place where our shadows used to meet
They call him a savior, the one who broke the curse
But they don't see the blood that he left across the earth
He looked at the math, he calculated the cost
He saved the damn city, but look at what I lost
(Pre-Chorus)
(Tempo begins to pick up, a low drumbeat starts like a heartbeat)
A righteous decision, a necessary trade
But I’m choking on the choices that the "good guys" made
The tears are drying up, and the blood is running cold
I’m tearing up the script of the story they’ve been told...
(Chorus)
(Tempo: Fast-paced, heavy rock/orchestral explosion, pure rage)
They say a hero sacrifices one to save the world!
They cheer his name while their banners are unfurled!
But you were my world, you were all I ever had!
Now they wonder why I’ve gone completely mad!
If the world is what was bought with the price of your last breath,
Then I’ll burn it to the ground, I will love it all to death!
Yeah, I’ll burn it to the ground!
(Verse 2)
(Fast, driving rhythm, aggressive and bitter)
No more playing by the rules of the righteous and the fair
There's a villain being born in the smoke up in the air
They want me to grieve, they want me to bow my head
But the empathy inside me is lying with the dead
I’m a monster in the making, I’m the consequence of fate
I'm trading in my sorrow for a masterpiece of hate!
(Pre-Chorus)
(Driving, escalating, frantic)
A righteous decision, a necessary trade
Well, wait 'til they see the devastation I've made!
(Chorus)
(Heavy, fast, explosive)
'Cause a hero sacrifices one to save the world!
They cheer his name while their banners are unfurled!
But you were my world, you were all I ever had!
Now they wonder why I’ve gone completely mad!
If the world is what was bought with the price of your last breath,
Then I’ll burn it to the ground, I will love it all to death!
(Bridge)
(Sudden drop. Very slow, haunting, venomous whisper)
I don't care about the millions.
I don't care about the peace.
Until the sky is turning black, this vengeance won't release.
He chose the greater good.
(Tempo accelerating rapidly, guitars building)
Well, the greater good is a lie!
And I won't stop striking matches until everyone asks why!
(Guitar/Instrumental Solo - Frantic, angry, chaotic)
(Final Chorus)
(Maximum intensity, heavy drums, screaming vocals)
A hero sacrifices one to save the world!
But my entire universe is shattered and uncurled!
You were my world! You were all I ever had!
You call me the villain? Well, I'm playing the part glad!
If the world is what was bought with the price of your last breath,
Then I’ll burn it all to ashes, I will love this world to death!
(Outro)
(Rhythm stays fast,heavy, spiraling into chaotic noise)
Let it burn! Let it bleed! Let it fall!
I’ll give you the villain you created after all!
If I can’t have you, they don’t get to keep a thing!
(Screamed vocals cut dead on the last beat)
WELCOME TO THE END OF EVERYTHING
