[Intro]
[Heavy distorted bass solo, chugging D note]
[Drums enter: slow, slamming, gated snare]
[Guitar: feedback squeal into thick, muddy C to D power chord riff]
[Verse 1]
Turn the page.
Count the ink.
The more you read,
The more we sink.
Tens of thousands
Ways to go blind.
A mountain of ash
For the masses to find.
[Chorus]
[Explosive heavy distortion]
[Strained vocal harmony]
Where there’s smoke—the fire is screaming!
Where there’s smoke—stop the dreaming!
One name, thousands of times.
Ignoring the spark insures the crimes!
Where there’s smoke... there’s a lie.
[Verse 2]
[Bass-driven, moody groove]
The roof is thin.
The sparks fly high.
We keep our seats
And wonder why.
Shared fever,
A common grave.
Nothing left
For us to save.
[Chorus]
[Heavy wall of sound]
Where there’s smoke—the fire is screaming!
Where there’s smoke—stop the dreaming!
One name, thousands of times.
Ignoring the spark insures the crimes!
[Bridge]
[Aggressive building rhythm]
[Vocals: strained, rasping shout]
It’s in the walls!
It’s in the skin!
If one of us falls—
WE ALL GO IN!
BURN THE LIST!
[Guitar Solo]
[Wah-inflected, slow brooding bends, shifting between C and D]
[Chorus]
[Explosive heavy distortion]
[Strained vocal harmony]
Where there’s smoke—the fire is screaming!
Where there’s smoke—stop the dreaming!
One name, thousands of times.
Ignoring the spark insures the crimes!
Where there’s smoke... there’s a lie.
[Outro]
[Sludge-heavy tempo slowdown]
[Low rhythmic vocal]
The smoke is a clue...
The fire is true...
The smoke is a clue...
It’s coming for you.
[Final sustained D power chord with heavy feedback]
[End]
