Shrine!

[Intro] [A lonely, haunting piano melody] Ooh-woah... oh-oh... Yeah... look at what we've done.

[Verse 1] I’m looking out the window at the morning grey Another city crumbling a thousand miles away The smoke is rising higher than the dreams we used to hold We’re trading in our future for a pocket full of gold Tell me, where’s the mercy in the thunder of the rain? (Hallowed!) When all we’re left with is a legacy of pain.

[Pre-Chorus] [Bass and drums enter softly, building tension] The lines are drawn in the shifting sand We’re losing grip of each other's hand Does anybody hear the therapy cry? Underneath a dark and heavy sky. (Hallowed!)

[Chorus] [Grand, explosive pop production] Stop the fire, stop the falling rain We’re just lovers caught inside the storm! How many lives must we lose to the night Before we realize that wrong isn’t right? The world is breaking, it’s falling apart And it all starts with a hole in the heart Oh, let the violence end today Don't let the world just fade away. (Hallowed!)

[Verse 2] The headlines keep on screaming but the voices are so cold The same old stories that have always been told Steel against steel, and a heart against a stone (Hallowed!) We’re standing in the ashes and we’re all alone How can we lead if we don’t know the way? Counting down the hours of a dying day.

[Bridge] [Music swells with dramatic strings] Put the weapons down, let the healing start... It’s time to find the piece we tore apart... YEAH! We’re better than the anger! WE’RE BETTER THAN THE HATE! Before it’s way too late!

[Guitar Solo] [A crying, melodic electric guitar solo]

[Chorus] Stop the fire, hallowed - stop the falling rain We’re just brothers caught inside the chain! How many lives must we lose to the night - hallowed. Before we realize that wrong isn’t right? The world is breaking, it’s falling apart And it all starts with a hole in the heart. (Hallowed!)

[Outro] [Music fades back to just the piano] Don't let it fade away... No more war... Shattered... horizon... Just give us peace. [Final soft piano chord]
