Fall Away

(Opening: Heavy, syncopated drum beat enters first, like war drums, followed by a driving, distorted guitar riff)Title: Fall Away

(Verse 1)

For years I walked a shadow path

Ignorant of the coming wrath

You played your games, you hid the strings

The heavy cost of what that brings

But now the smoke is clearing out

I see the field, I hear the shout

The ground you held is breaking fast

The time you bought is in the past

This slow-burn fight has turned the page

I'm stepping out of your dark cage.

(Pre-Chorus)

Your tactics, worn and falling away

Worked for a time, but not today

You're mad I know your secret now

You'll never keep me quiet somehow

You only slowed, you couldn't stop

Now watch the final curtain drop.

(Chorus - Anthemic and powerful, all instruments hit hard)

HEAR THE RATTLE OF THE DRUMS!

A NEW DAWN, THE VICTORY COMES!

I'M TAKING BACK THE POWER YOU STOLE

LOSING GRIP, LOSING ALL CONTROL!

I AM TOO STRONG FOR YOU TO HINDER

WATCH YOUR KINGDOM TURN TO CINDER!

FIGHT, SON, FIGHT!

WITH THE TRUTH AS MY SWORD, I CLAIM THE LIGHT!

(Verse 2)

The lie you whispered, low and deep

That I could wait, that I could sleep

"Too busy now," "there's time enough"

A brittle chain, a useless bluff

The lie is what held me in place

But truth has wiped it from my face

My mind is open, knowledge grows

I see the secret that it knows

Your power shrinks with every breath

You're facing down your final death.

(Pre-Chorus)

Your tactics, worn and falling away

Worked for a time, but not today

You're mad I know your secret now

You'll never keep me quiet somehow

You only slowed, you couldn't stop

Now watch the final curtain drop.

(Chorus - Even more intense)

HEAR THE RATTLE OF THE DRUMS!

A NEW DAWN, THE VICTORY COMES!

I'M TAKING BACK THE POWER YOU STOLE

LOSING GRIP, LOSING ALL CONTROL!

I AM TOO STRONG FOR YOU TO HINDER

WATCH YOUR KINGDOM TURN TO CINDER!

FIGHT, SON, FIGHT!

WITH THE TRUTH AS MY SWORD, I CLAIM THE LIGHT!

(Bridge - Tempo slightly slower, bass and guitar hold steady low notes, drums hit hard on the 1 and 3)

I sense it deep inside my soul

This battle's weight has reached its goal

The fight is true, I will accept

The vow I made, the promise kept

Encouragement in every stride

There's nowhere left for you to hide.

KEEP PRESSING IN!

(Guitar Solo - Heavy, high-gain, melodic solo over a driving drum and bass rhythm, leading into a final, building drum fill)

(Chorus - Explodes back in, full force)

HEAR THE RATTLE OF THE DRUMS!

A NEW DAWN, THE VICTORY COMES!

I'M TAKING BACK THE POWER YOU STOLE

LOSING GRIP, LOSING ALL CONTROL!

I AM TOO STRONG FOR YOU TO HINDER

WATCH YOUR KINGDOM TURN TO CINDER!

FIGHT, SON, FIGHT!

WITH THE TRUTH AS MY SWORD, I CLAIM THE LIGHT!

(Outro)

The lie... it has no power.

The lie... it has no power.

(Repeat and fade out with heavy guitar feedback and relentless drums.)
