Stay in the Light

Verse 1 (Low, grinding riff)
No sun, no life, that’s how it goes
Kill the source and the system folds
Fields go dead, engines stall
Take away the light and we lose it all

You don’t argue with gravity
You don’t bargain with heat
The source ain’t optional
It’s the reason you breathe

Pre-Chorus (Rising tension)
You don’t beg the fire to burn
You step close and let it work

Chorus (Big, heavy, hook-driven)
Stay in the light
Or die in the cold
You don’t fake the fire
It burns what it holds
Stay in the light
Or fade where you stand
No Son, no life
That’s the truth, that’s the end

⸻

Verse 2 (Palm-muted, stalking)
You don’t force yourself clean
You don’t muscle your way through
You stay where the light can reach
And it starts reshaping you

Walk long enough in the glare
And the lies don’t survive
Your mind starts lining up
With the way He sees life

Pre-Chorus (Half-time drop)
It’s not perfection you chase
It’s position in the flame

Chorus (Repeat, heavier emphasis)
Stay in the light
Or die in the cold
You don’t fake the fire
It burns what it holds
Stay in the light
Or fade where you stand
No Son, no life
That’s the truth, that’s the end

⸻

Verse 3 (Aggressive, faster phrasing)
Light shows rust in the steel
Cracks you tried to ignore
Anger, pride, shortcuts taken
Hidden rot in the core

That ain’t shame, that’s repair
That’s the blade doing its job
Nothing heals in the shadows
Nothing lives when it’s locked

Breakdown (Chugging, brutal)
Nothing gets fixed
In the dark

⸻

Bridge (Clean guitar under heavy drums)
I don’t burn out ‘cause I’m weak
I burn out when I disconnect
The charge don’t disappear all at once
It fades… then I forget

Female Voice (Haunting, layered)
Come back to the light
Come back before you break

⸻

Final Chorus (Biggest hit, anthemic)
Stay in the light
Or die in the cold
You don’t fake the fire
It burns what it holds
Stay in the light
Or lose who you are
No Son, no life
You don’t make it far

⸻

Outro (Slow, crushing riff)
Distance always costs you
Clarity dies in the shade
Get close or get nothing
That’s the price that’s paid

Stay… in… the light.
