[Instrumental Intro] [Tense] [Heartbeat Sound]

[Verse 1] [Fast Flow] [Rhythmic]
Sweat pours into my eyes, a buzzing in my ears.
For a second, I think I fell asleep.
But a sharp scream brought me back to the trench.
My heart in my chest is racing.

[Pre-Chorus] [Male Vocal]
The earth trembles, and the sky is on fire.
Only one thought pounds within me.

[Chorus] [Energetic] [Beat Drop]
A pulse in my temples means I'm alive.
Dirt and steel, a wall of rain pours down.
A pulse in my temples, and I clutch the steel.
I don't feel sorry for myself, I don't feel sorry for anything.

[Instrumental] [electro rock Instrumental]

[Verse 2] [Fast Flow] [Rhythmic]
Memory erases faces and words.
My head is pounding from the explosion.
Whoever was with me has turned to dust.
The smell of blood, pain, and fear are everywhere.

[Pre-Chorus] [male vocal]
And in this darkness, at the very bottom,
Only one thought beats within me.

[Chorus] [Energetic] [Beat Drop]
A pulse in my temples means I'm alive.
Dirt and steel, a downpour pours down like a wall.
A pulse in my temples, and I clutch the steel.
I don't feel sorry for myself, I don't feel sorry for anything.

[Break] [Heavy Breathing] [Distant Explosions]
Breathe... just breathe...

[Break] [Heavy Breathing] [Distant Explosions]
Breathe... just breathe...

[Bridge] [Soft Voice] [Melodic] [male vocals]
And only at night, closing my eyelids,
I dream of peaceful rivers.
Of how you'll hold me again.
And I remain silent, unable to find a word.

[Chorus] [Powerful] [Full Drums]
The pulse in my temples means I'm alive.
Dirt and steel, the rain pours down like a wall.
The pulse in my temples, and I clutch the steel.
I don't feel sorry for myself, I don't feel sorry for anything.

[Outro] [Heartbeat sound] [Fade to End] [male vocals]
Knocking... means I'm alive...
Knocking... I'll be back home...

[End]
