Intro:

(slow beat, deep sub-bass, syncopated hi-hats)

Hey… don't look if you don't want to see…

Verse 1 (semi-rap):

Today I rise, a defeated warrior,

with the sword of words ignited.

Mediocrity reigns on the altars,

brave souls fall, no one explains.

Pre-Chorus:

They stole our joy,

dopamine for life,

lost will…

and we still say everything is fine.

Chorus (hypnotic repetition):

Wake up… wake up… the fire doesn't warn

Wake up… the truth hides behind the smile

The sleeping soul, the captive mind

The world spins in massive ruin

Verse 2:

Heroes in the mud, shamelessness in speech,

mediocrity reigns, the wise remain silent.

The good flee, the others advance,

and amidst the noise, everything shifts.

Bridge / Drop:

(intense sub-bass, dark pads, echo on the voice)

If something remains within you,

we can sow the path again.

Final Chorus:

Wake up… wake up… the fire gives no warning…

Today I am sad, I keep singing…

Wake up.
