[Mood: Anthemic, driving, defiant, hopeful grit]
[Verse 1 - Based on Watts]
[Distorted guitar riff intro, driving drums kick in]
Strip away the dogma, tear the curtains down!
There's a pulse beneath the surface, in this worn-out town!
Not the words they preach now, but the fire in the soul!
An intuition burnin', takin' back control!
Yeah, a common current hidden, they try to dam the flow!
But feel the static rising, the spirit starts to glow!
[Chorus - Rock Style]
[Heavy guitars, powerful drums, soaring vocal]
BEHOLD THE SPIRIT! DEEP INSIDE YOU KNOW!
FROM THE WORST OF THE PAST, THE BEST FUTURES GROW!
DARKNESS CAN'T CHASE THE DARKNESS! HATE WON'T MAKE HATE CEASE!
ONLY LIGHT! ONLY LOVE! BRING THE SOUL RELEASE! YEAH!
[Verse 2 - Based on Past/Future Quote]
[Slightly grittier verse rhythm, bass prominent]
Saw the ones who crashed and burned, lived among the ghosts!
Comfort was a liar, pain paid back the most!
Yeah, it teaches somethin' brutal, somethin' hard and true!
Once you make it through the hellfire, there's nothin' left to lose!
Now they're buildin' kingdoms from the rubble and the rust!
Forged inside the failure, shakin' off the dust!
[Chorus - Rock Style]
[Full power, maybe backing vocal shouts]
BEHOLD THE SPIRIT! DEEP INSIDE YOU KNOW!
FROM THE WORST OF THE PAST, THE BEST FUTURES GROW!
DARKNESS CAN'T CHASE THE DARKNESS! HATE WON'T MAKE HATE CEASE!
ONLY LIGHT! ONLY LOVE! BRING THE SOUL RELEASE! COME ON!
[Guitar Solo]
[Melodic but powerful guitar solo over the driving rhythm section]
[Bridge - Based on MLK Quote]
[Tempo might drop slightly, build tension, drums simpler then build back up]
You can scream into the void, you can curse the falling rain!
You can answer hate with hatred, amplify the pain!
But the shadows only scatter when you flick the switch inside!
Let the LIIIIIGHT explode! Let the LOOOOVE collide!
[Chorus - Rock Style]
[Maximum energy, drums crashing, vocals full throttle]
BEHOLD THE SPIRIT! DEEP INSIDE YOU KNOW!
FROM THE WORST OF THE PAST, THE BEST FUTURES GROW!
DARKNESS CAN'T CHASE THE DARKNESS! HATE WON'T MAKE HATE CEASE!
ONLY LIGHT! ONLY LOVE! BRING THE SOUL RELEASE!
[Outro - Rock Style]
[Repeat "Only Light! Only Love!" with increasing intensity]
ONLY LIGHT! ONLY LOVE!
ONLY LIGHT! ONLY LOVE!
BRING RELEASE!
[End abruptly with a final power chord and cymbal crash]
