[Verse 1]
[Slow, atmospheric synth]
Tick-tock, the shadows heavy on the wall
Nothing moves, I’m waiting for the rain to fall
This heavy boredom is a velvet prison cell
We built a heaven but it turned to quiet hell
[Pre-Chorus]
[Build-up, driving electronic beat]
But lines are breaking in the cosmic design
I’m taking back the hours that used to be mine
The clock is ticking, but the chains are undone
Out of the gravity, I race to the sun
[Chorus]
[Explosive, anthemic, powerful vocals]
Shine through the wreckage, I am burning bright!
A heavy stone that’s turning into light
No more devotion to a ghost in the dark
Time couldn't kill the everlasting spark
[Post-Chorus]
[Staccato, robotic vocal effect, heavy bass]
Di-a-monds, sha-dows, out of the dark
Di-a-monds, e-chos, I am the spark
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I’m rising from the floor
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I don’t look back no more
[Verse 2]
[Beat drops out slightly, dark synth bass]
A sacred betrayal, a beautiful mistake
A holy promise that we knew we had to break
We watched the years erode the gold into dust
A slow surrender of our love into rust
[Pre-Chorus]
[Build-up, driving electronic beat]
But lines are breaking in the cosmic design
I’m taking back the hours that used to be mine
The clock is ticking, but the chains are undone
Out of the gravity, I race to the sun
[Chorus]
[Explosive, anthemic, powerful vocals]
Shine through the wreckage, I am burning bright!
A heavy stone that’s turning into light
No more devotion to a ghost in the dark
Time couldn't kill the everlasting spark
[Post-Chorus]
[Staccato, robotic vocal effect, heavy bass]
Di-a-monds, sha-dows, out of the dark
Di-a-monds, e-chos, I am the spark
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I’m rising from the floor
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I don’t look back no more
[Bridge]
[Emotional, stripping back the instruments, vocal focus]
Time is a healer, time is a thief
But I found the power underneath the grief
You were my shadow, my beautiful scars
[Crying vocals]
But diamonds only shine beneath the darkest stars
[Chorus]
[Maximum energy, climax, layered backing vocals]
Shine through the wreckage, I am burning bright!
A heavy stone that’s turning into light
No more devotion to a ghost in the dark
Time couldn't kill the everlasting spark
[Outro]
[Fade out, echoing vocals]
The clock fades out...
The rust falls away...
Into the light.
[End]
