One Chance

[Intro]
Low bells
Distant fire
A single name
In the wire
[Verse 1]
They carved your number
On cold steel and skin
Last guard at the gateway
As their saints march in
Ash on your armor
Blood in your mouth
You watch their holy engine
Start to burn the clouds
[Pre-Chorus]
You hear that choir
Calling you traitor, calling you coward
Your hands are shaking
But your heart beats louder
[Chorus]
This is your one chance
One breath against the kingdom’s storm
One shot to break their sacred trance
Before the world is gone, deformed
Stand in the bright mouth of the blast
Hold till the last bone cracks
This is your one, your one chance
No shield, no road back
[Verse 2]
They raise their banners
Like teeth in the sky
Their blessed machine
Begins to open its eye
You taste old memories
Smoke, rain, a child’s laugh
Every quiet moment
Balanced on this path
[Pre-Chorus]
You hear that choir
Calling you heretic, calling you weak
You feel that terror
But your scars still speak
[Chorus]
This is your one chance
One breath against the kingdom’s storm
One shot to break their sacred trance
Before the world is gone, deformed
Stand in the bright mouth of the blast
Hold till the last bone cracks
This is your one, your one chance
No shield, no road back
[Bridge]
[Gregorian-style chant under lead vocal]
Voices rising
Stone and flame
“All is holy”
They proclaim
You walk forward
Eyes like glass
“Let it end here”
Is all you ask (oh)
[Chant]
Dies irae
Dies humanae
One soul standing
Nulla viae
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
This is your one chance
One breath against the kingdom’s storm
One shot to break their sacred trance
Before the world is gone, deformed
Stand in the bright mouth of the blast
Let the old world crack
This is your one, your one chance
You give it all
We get it back
[Outro]
[Soft chant fading]
One chance…
One name…
One fall…

Verses start sparse with low Gregorian-style chant layers, then rise into a soaring rock chorus. Mid-song, a lyrical, minor-key guitar solo climbs over choir and tom-driven drums, ending in a final, unified chant and sustained power chords., soft
