[Silence]
[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Slow Piano, Deep Bass Pulse, Organ Swells, Marching Snare, Clean Guitar Echo]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Most things…
looked…
normal.
Until it wasn’t… at all
(Headed toward the waterfall)
[Refrain]
The ship has sailed
(Headed toward the waterfall)
Navigation failed
(Now hear disaster call)
More momentum
(Can’t slow down)
Likely to succumb
(Too numb… too dumb)
Discover going over
(Going down, down, down)
[Verse 1]
Warnings written in the charts
Science mapped the fragile parts
Still we argued, still delayed
Thinking somehow we’d be saved
[Pre-Chorus]
The river bends
(The current stays)
Tomorrow’s built
(On yesterday)
[Chorus]
And the band played on
(Playing every song)
While the waters
(Pulled us along)
Looking backward
(Instead of ahead)
Ignoring words
(Already said)
The ship has sailed
(Headed toward the waterfall)
[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Driving Bass, Organ Crescendo, Heavy Drums, Atmospheric Synth]
[Verse 2]
The engines never questioned why
They only pushed and passed on by
Growth became the only creed
Even after every plead
[Pre-Chorus]
Truth remains
(What it is)
No debate
(Changes this)
[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
[Minimal Beat, Deep Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Discover going over
(Going down, down, down)
[Refrain]
More momentum
(Can’t slow down)
Likely to succumb
(Too numb… too dumb)
Discover going over
(Going down, down, down)
[Final Chorus]
The ship has sailed
(Headed toward the waterfall)
Navigation failed
(Now hear disaster call)
More momentum
(Can’t slow down)
Likely to succumb
(Too numb… too dumb)
Discover going over
(Going down, down, down)
Change the heading
(Change it now)
Don’t keep asking
(Only how)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Solo Piano, Organ Fade, Echo Guitar, Gentle Waves, Distant Thunder]
Our choice…
Our voice…
our destination:
(Desolation)
We did (what we did)
We did.
