When The Sky Tore Open

[Intro]
Sirens drown in the thunder
Static snow in my lungs
Ash keeps falling sideways
Midnight at the rising sun
[Verse 1]
Street signs burning cold blue
Shadows peeling off the walls
Sky splits like wet paper
Something dripping through the fault
Children’s names on the window
Fogged in trembling breath
Every prayer feels empty
Every step tastes like regret
[Chorus]
When the sky tore open
We finally felt how small we are
All the stars stopped blinking
Like they were staring down our scars
When the sky tore open
And the ground forgot its name
Every scream turned silent
As the strangers learned our pain
[Verse 2]
Radio stuck on one word
"Run" repeating in my head
Flocks of birds fall frozen
Hang suspended over death
Light bends wrong at the corners
Colors turning inside out
You can hear them in the drywall
Crawling closer through the house
[Chorus]
When the sky tore open
We finally felt how small we are
All the stars stopped blinking
Like they were staring down our scars
When the sky tore open
And the ground forgot its name
Every scream turned silent
As the strangers learned our pain
[Bridge]
I see them wearing our faces (oh)
Mouths too wide to breathe
Every memory on the ceiling
Projected
Pulled
Retrieved
Are we worth the taking
Or just fragile
Flickering sand
If this is revelation
It comes in an unmade hand
[Chorus]
When the sky tore open
We finally knew we’re not in charge
Every lie we built on comfort
Cracked and caved beneath the dark
When the sky tore open
And they stepped through all our prayers
We were left with one last question—
Are we theirs
Or are they ours?

Cinematic apocalyptic horror with brooding orchestra, distant choirs, and warped synth textures. Slow build from sparse low strings and sub drones into pounding drums and brass swells; chorus explodes with choral stabs and distorted risers. Male vocals sit close and tense in the verses, widening with reverb and layered whispers in the hook; final section drops to eerie near-silence under a single held note.
