(Verse 1 – heavy distorted guitars, driving bass, punchy drums, gritty female vocal)
Static in the mirror, fractured little screams
Neon bleeding shadows, drowning in between
Silver-tongue of silence crawling down my spine
Choking on the memories I buried alive
(Pre-Chorus – guitars pull back, tense build, rising cymbals, vocal restrained then rising)
Teeth grit, pulse quick, feel it ignite
No sleep, no peace, just ghosts in the night
(Chorus – huge wall of guitars, open chords, crash cymbals, soaring aggressive vocal)
Burn bright, cut through my veins
Cold fire, black wire, wired to the pain
Don’t die, stay in my sight
Scream loud, crash down, shatter the night
Ignite, drag me inside
Razor dreams, wicked schemes, nowhere to hide
Take flight, tear through the sky
If I’m going down, I’m going down alive
(Verse 2 – heavy groove returns, tight riffing, steady kick/snare, gritty vocal)
Velvet coated violence wrapped around my name
Halo made of broken, glittering in shame
Heartbeat like a siren, shaking through my chest
Every spark a curse I never could confess
(Pre-Chorus – instruments thin again, suspenseful build, vocal intensity climbing)
Breath short, skin torn, dancing with fate
One more hit of venom, I’m loving the taste
(Chorus – explosive, layered guitars, wide and anthemic, vocal full power)
Burn bright, cut through my veins
Cold fire, black wire, wired to the pain
Don’t die, stay in my sight
Scream loud, crash down, shatter the night
Ignite, drag me inside
Razor dreams, wicked schemes, nowhere to hide
Take flight, tear through the sky
If I’m going down, I’m going down alive
(Bridge – half-time drums, dark atmosphere, low chugging guitars, haunting vocal tone)
Ashes on my tongue, bitter and sweet
Broken angels crawling at my feet
No savior coming, no hands to hold
Just a spark in the dark turning cruel and cold
(Guitar Solo – wild lead, fast runs, bends and dive bombs, chaotic energy)
(Final Chorus – biggest impact, layered vocals, massive guitars, relentless drums)
Burn bright, carve through my soul
Cracked bones, shattered stones, losing control
Don’t fade, stay in the fight
Bleed sound, shake ground, murder the night
Ignite, set me on fire
Twisted hope, fraying rope, climbing higher
Take flight, rip through the sky
If I’m going down, I’m going down alive
(Outro – instruments decay, ringing feedback, final vocal echo)
Flicker… fracture… fire in my eyes
Dead light… never dies.
