[Silence]
[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Heavy Guitar Riff, Rolling Bass, Steady Drums, Atmospheric Synth]
[Spoken Vocal]
A role…
Is a responsibility.
A rule…
Role in society.
[Refrain]
Is our role over
(Have we done our bit)
Is our rule over
(Now it’s time to quit)
…quit our bad habitat habit
[Verse 1]
Built a world with endless needs
Growing faster, planting seeds
Taking more than we replace
Leaving footprints on this place
A role was given, a path was shown
A planet shared, a place called home
But progress without reflection
Can create a different direction
[Pre-Chorus]
Look around
(See the signs)
Changing systems
(Changing times)
[Chorus]
Is our role over?
(Or just changing shape?)
Can we recover?
(Can we reshape?)
The rules are shifting
(The game has changed)
A different future
(Is in our range)
[Refrain]
Is our role over
(Have we done our bit)
Is our rule over
(Now it’s time to quit)
…quit our bad habitat habit
[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Driving Bass, Organ Swells, Powerful Drums, Synth Atmosphere]
[Verse 2]
Habit becomes a way of life
Comfort comes with hidden strife
What seems normal day to day
Can carry costs along the way
Consumption rising, systems strain
Cycles repeat again and again
But awareness can open doors
Toward a balance worth fighting for
[Bridge]
Role over?
(No, evolve)
Rule over?
(Find resolve)
The future asks
(What will we do?)
The answer starts
(With me and you)
[Breakdown]
[Minimal Beat, Deep Bass, Spoken Vocal]
A role…
Isn’t something we lose.
It’s something…
We choose.
[Final Chorus]
Is our role over
(Have we done our bit)
Is our rule over
(Now it’s time to quit)
Quit our bad habitat habit
(Change the way we live)
Find a new direction
(Find a way to give)
Role over…
Or roll forward…
Choice…
our voice!
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Echo Guitar, Organ Fade, Rolling Percussion]
Not over…
Just changing…
A new role…
Begins.
