[INTRO — OPERA / SOPRANO]
Ah—
When the moon falls over the city tonight
I hear your name in the silence
Like a prayer I should never have spoken
Like a secret begging to be broken
Ohhh—
There is danger in the way you look at me
But darling, danger never frightened me
[VERSE 1 — SOFT POP]
Black dress, red light, shadows on the wall
You don't say a word, but I hear it all
There's tension in the air like a storm about to break
I wonder how much more of this silence I can take
You move closer
I move closer
Neither one of us admits it
But the room gets smaller
And I swear I can almost feel it
[PRE-CHORUS — BUILDING VOCALS]
If this is a mistake
Let me make it beautifully
If we're gonna lose control
Then lose it completely
[CHORUS — OPERATIC POP]
Take me higher—
Higher than the heavens know!
Set my heart on fire
Don't you let me go!
Ahhh—
I have waited all my life
For a moment like this one
So if you're gonna break me
BREAK ME RIGHT!
[VERSE 2 — RAP]
Yeah, look—
I walked in, whole room changed temperature
You staring like you know the procedure
I don't need a crown, I make the throne look regular
Talk behind my back? That's free publicity, competitor
I got my own lane, don't merge into mine
Keep your warnings, I'ma cross every line
I'm too calm for chaos
Too sharp for the fake
If I say that I want it
Then I take what I make
Built for the stage
Put my name in the lights
Remember the name
And you—
Quit looking at me like I'm something you can't touch
You knew what you were doing
Now you're acting like it's too much
If the door's wide open
Why you standing in the hallway?
[CHORUS — OPERA/POP]
Take me higher—
Higher than the heavens know!
Set my heart on fire
Don't you let me go!
Ahhh—
I have waited all my life
For a moment like this one
So if you're gonna break me
BREAK ME RIGHT!
[BRIDGE — OPERATIC DUEL]
VOCAL:
I can feel the night awakening—
LOWER VOCAL:
I can feel the pressure underneath—
VOCAL:
Every lie we're telling—
LOWER VOCAL:
Every truth you hide from me—
BOTH:
WE ARE FIRE!
WE ARE FURY!
WE ARE EVERYTHING WE FEAR TO BE!
[BEAT DROP — RAP]
Okay—
Now let me talk my shit.
I came from the bottom with a dream and a vision
Turned every "no" into fuel for the mission
They wanted me quiet, I gave 'em precision
Now every room I enter's a different religion
I don't need saving
I don't need a sign
Nobody gets to tell me
When it's my time
It's my time.
[FINAL CHORUS — MASSIVE OPERA]
TAKE ME HIGHER!
HIGHER THAN THE HEAVENS KNOW!
SET MY HEART ON FIRE!
DON'T YOU LET ME GO!
AHHHHH—
I HAVE WAITED ALL MY LIFE!
FOR A MOMENT LIKE THIS ONE!
SO IF YOU'RE GONNA BREAK ME—
BREAK ME RIGHT!
[OUTRO — OPERA]
Ahhhhhhh—
If tomorrow comes
Let it find us fearless
Ahhhhh—
Tonight
We were immortal.
