[SPOKEN – LOW, CONTROLLED, CINEMATIC]
We are not here because we expect to survive.
We are here because survival was never guaranteed.
Look around you.
Every face you see… is already marked.
Not by fate.
By choice.
There is no version of this where we all walk away whole.
That truth was decided long before we arrived.
So I will not lie to you.
I will not call this hope.
What we do here…
is trade what we are…
for what might still exist after us.
And if that cost is everything we are?
Then so be it.
Because hesitation does not save lives.
It only decides who dies for nothing.
[INTRO – ORCHESTRAL BUILD + SPOKEN]
Heavy strings… low percussion… rising tension…
We knew the price…
We just didn’t want to say it out loud…
[VERSE 1 – RAP (CONTROLLED FLOW)]
Yeah
No guarantees when we step in the dark
Every move that we make leave a mark
Ain’t no promise that we make it back
But we still on the attack, that’s facts
I see fear in every pair of eyes
But fear don’t change what time decides
We ain’t chosen, we just respond
To a world that keeps moving wrong
Every breath here is borrowed time
Every step is a crossing line
But standing still ain’t survival
It’s just slow death, no revival
[PRE-CHORUS – SPOKEN RAP HYBRID]
Listen…
If you’re waiting for a perfect plan
You already lost the moment began
[CHORUS – ORCHESTRAL HOOK]
We move forward
Even knowing what it costs
Every heartbeat is a loss
We move forward
Not because we think we’ll win
But because we refuse to bend
We move forward
Let the silence understand
We are all that we have left to stand
[VERSE 2 – RAP (INTENSE, FASTER FLOW)]
There’s no mercy in the math we face
Every outcome leads to empty space
So we choose the road that hurts the most
If it gives tomorrow something close
You can call it madness, call it pride
But we ain’t here to run and hide
We already signed what we became
Now we carry it without a name
Every order that I ever give
Is a reason for someone to give
Everything they thought they’d keep
So the future doesn’t fall asleep
[PRE-CHORUS – BUILDING INTENSITY]
Don’t mistake this for belief
This is motion through grief
[CHORUS – FULL ORCHESTRAL SWELL]
We move forward
Even knowing what it costs
Every heartbeat is a loss
We move forward
Not because we think we’ll win
But because we refuse to bend
We move forward
Let the silence understand
We are all that we have left to stand
[BRIDGE – SLOW DOWN, NEAR WHISPER]
If we fall…
Let it mean something
If we break…
Let it open something
Because empty survival…
Is still loss
[FINAL VERSE – RAP (HEAVY, FINAL PUSH)]
No heroes here, just consequence
Every action leaves evidence
We don’t pray for miracles
We just make the critical
If this is the end, then so be it
But we chose what we believe in
Not comfort, not escape, not ease
Just whatever comes after this peace
So when the world asks why we ran in
Tell them we were never standing
[OUTRO – SPOKEN CINEMATIC (LOW, FADING)]
We understood the cost
We accepted it
Sanctuary
