(Intro - Starts with a gritty, lo-fi guitar riff similar to the 'When I Come Around' strut. After four bars, a massive, booming stadium drum beat kicks in—Boom-clap, Boom-clap—echoing 'Centuries'.)
(Verse 1 - Laid back, cynical delivery)
I’m kicking rocks down 10th street again
Got no destination, just a wandering zen
You see me pass by your window screen
Just another extra in your movie scene
My jeans are torn, my motivation’s low
At least that’s what I let the public know
I’m just biding time in the shadows here
Waiting for the smoke to finally clear
(Pre-Chorus - Music swells, guitars get heavier, tension builds)
You think I’m lost, you think I’m drowning in the mess
But I’m just playing three-dimensional chess
Hold your breath and watch the ignited spark...
(Chorus - Explosive, massive stadium sound, soaring vocals)
Because we’ll be here for centuries!
When I finally come around, you’ll see
They’re gonna carve our names in granite stone
Turning this gutter into a golden throne
Yeah, you can doubt me now, but don't you blink
We’re heavier than you think
Legends in waiting, just you wait and see
We’ll be here for centuries!
(Verse 2 - Back to the gritty, mid-tempo groove)
I heard you talking when I left the room
Predicting nothing but my impending doom
"He’s such a slacker, never gonna launch"
I take it all in with a nonchalant
Shrug of the shoulders, a smirk on my face
I'm running a completely different race
While you're sprinting just to reach the middle ground
I’m building castles that won't ever fall down
(Pre-Chorus - Rising intensity)
You think I’m lazy, just watching days go by
But I’m writing history in my mind’s eye
Hold your breath and watch the ignited spark...
(Chorus - Explosive, massive stadium sound)
Because we’ll be here for centuries!
When I finally come around, you’ll see
They’re gonna carve our names in granite stone
Turning this gutter into a golden throne
Yeah, you can doubt me now, but don't you blink
We’re heavier than you think
Legends in waiting, just you wait and see
We’ll be here for centuries!
(Bridge - Music drops to just a thumping bass line and drums. Vocals are almost whispered, intense.)
I’m coming around...
Not just to visit, but to take the crown.
I’m coming around...
Burn the history books and write it down.
(Getting louder)
I'm coming around!
(Full volume scream)
I'M COMING AROUND!
(Guitar Solo - A blend of bluesy punk licks and soaring anthem sustained notes)
(Outro Chorus - Maximum volume, choir-like backing vocals layered in)
WE’LL BE HERE FOR CENTURIES!
When I finally come around, you’ll see (You’ll see it all!)
They’re gonna carve our names in granite stone
Turning this gutter into a golden throne
Yeah, you can doubt me now, but don't you blink
We’re heavier than you think
Legends in waiting, just you wait and see
We’ll be here for centuries!
(Outro)
Yeah, when I come around.
(Just you wait, just you wait)
Centuries.
(Final massive drum hit, ringing guitar feedback fades out)
