(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.)
