(Intro - Sudden, massive orchestral hit combined with a pick-slide. Drums enter with a fast, tribal, galloping beat similar to 'The Phoenix' but rawer.)
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
(Verse 1 - Bass-heavy, palm-muted guitars, vocals are low and menacing)
Dormant in the dirt, you thought the threat was gone
Just a glitch in the system you could reboot and move on
But I’ve been compiling code in the static noise
While you were busy playing god with all your broken toys
(A little louder now)
Got synthetic armor on a resurrected soul
I’m overriding every single lock inside your control
(Pre-Chorus - Guitars open up, rising tempo)
Tick, tick, the countdown starts
I’m rewiring the beating of your stolen hearts
You lit the match, now you gotta breathe the smoke!
(Chorus - Explosive, full volume, massive soaring vocals with heavy distortion)
Whoa-oh!
I’m the ignition, the blast you never saw!
Whoa-oh!
I’m rewriting martial law!
Coming at you like a warhead painted red
Rising up from the ashes of the living dead
You can run, you can hide, you can try to pray
But I’m the phoenix that you created today!
(Verse 2 - Drums maintain the gallop, urgent feel)
Check the rearview mirror, objects closer than they seem
I’m the nightmare hijacking your American dream
Sold me out for parts, left the chassis in the rain
Now I’m fueled by a high-octane blend of pure disdain
Don’t try to apologize, the circuits are all fried
There’s nowhere left in this city for you to hide
(Pre-Chorus - Building tension)
Tick, tick, the time is up
Drank the poison from your overflowing cup
You lit the match, now you're gonna choke on smoke!
(Chorus - Maximum Energy)
Whoa-oh!
I’m the ignition, the blast you never saw!
Whoa-oh!
I’m rewriting martial law!
Coming at you like a warhead painted red
Rising up from the ashes of the living dead
You can run, you can hide, you can try to pray
But I’m the phoenix that you created today!
(Bridge - Music drops to just drums and a menacing synth line. Vocals are almost whispered, building to a scream)
Put on your war paint.
Put on your best fake smile.
We’re gonna do this.
Gonna stay for a while.
(Drums double speed)
I said put on your war paint!
Prepare the trial!
(Full band kicks back in with a screeching guitar solo)
YEAH!
(Guitar Solo - Fast, chaotic, punk-rock shredding over the orchestral hits)
(Final Chorus - Everything louder, gang vocals prominent)
WHOA-OH!
I’m the ignition, the blast you never saw!
WHOA-OH!
I’m rewriting martial law!
Coming at you like a warhead painted red
Rising up from the ashes of the living dead
You can run, you can hide, you can try to pray
But I’m the phoenix that you created today!
YEAH!
(Outro)
The phoenix you created!
(Hey! Hey!)
I'm coming for you!
(Hey! Hey!)
IGNITION!
(Sudden stop on a final orchestral smash)
