[Silence]
[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Low Drone, Distant Thunder, Pulsing Bass, Mechanical Percussion]
[Whispered Vocals, Echoed Guitar, Organ Swell]
Containment breach
(The warning came… man’s his name)
Containment breach
(But no one changed… world rearranged)
Humanity’s reach
(The doors swung wide… letting loose pride)
Every man, woman, and child…
(Into the wild)
[Verse 1]
[Steady Beat, Dark Bassline, Tremolo Guitar, Low Organ]
Born inside the laboratory
Raised beneath the glass
Fed on smoke and concrete
Built to multiply fast
Spreading through the valleys
Spreading through the seas
Turning every forest
Into factories
[Pre-Chorus]
[Snare Build, Rising Synth, Layered Vocals]
One more city
One more road
One more burden for the load
One more pipeline
One more scar
One more wound that spreads too far
[Chorus]
[Full Band, Heavy Drums, Distorted Guitar, Choir Vocals]
Lab leak
(Into the wild)
Lab leak
(Mother Nature’s child)
Lab leak
(We escaped the cage)
Lab leak
(And poisoned every page)
Lab leak
(Through the rivers)
Lab leak
(Through the skies)
Lab leak
(Like a virus)
Lab leak
(That never dies)
[Instrumental Break]
[Organ Solo, Guitar Feedback, Heavy Bass Pulse]
[Verse 2]
[Beat Drops Back, Piano Chords, Warm Bassline, Atmospheric Synth]
We crawled across the mountains
We swallowed up the plains
We filled the air with carbon
We filled the earth with stains
The oceans turned acidic
The coral lost its glow
And still we called it progress
As everything slowed
[Pre-Chorus]
[Building Tension, Cymbal Swells, Layered Harmony]
One more species
One more loss
One more line we chose to cross
One more desert
One more flame
One more excuse to shift the blame
[Chorus]
[Full Band Returns, Bigger Synths, Double Kick Drums]
Lab leak
(Into the wild)
Lab leak
(Mother Nature’s child)
Lab leak
(We escaped the cage)
Lab leak
(And poisoned every page)
Lab leak
(Through the rivers)
Lab leak
(Through the skies)
Lab leak
(Like a virus)
Lab leak
(That never dies)
[Bridge]
[Half-Time Beat, Dark Synth Drone, Minimal Piano]
Mother Nature tried to warn us
With the fire and the rain
With the droughts and rising oceans
With the storms and crop decay
But the virus kept on spreading
Feeding on its host
Building towers to the heavens
While consuming every coast
[Bridge Build]
[Drums Return, Strings Rise, Choir Swells]
We were meant to be the cure
(But became the disease)
We were meant to guard the garden
(But stripped away the leaves)
We were meant to know the limits
(But never learned restraint)
Now the lab has lost containment
(And the world can feel the weight)
[Guitar Solo]
[Wild Guitar Solo, Organ Stabs, Heavy Tom Drums]
[Final Chorus]
[Massive Chorus: Full Orchestra, Heavy Drums, Layered Choir, Synth Bass]
Lab leak
(Into the wild)
Lab leak
(Mother Nature’s child)
Lab leak
(We escaped the cage)
Lab leak
(And poisoned every page)
Lab leak
(Through the rivers)
Lab leak
(Through the skies)
Lab leak
(Like a virus)
Lab leak
(That never dies)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Fading Piano, Organ Drone, Distant Thunder, Slow Heartbeat Percussion]
Containment breach
(The warning came)
Out of our reach
(Containment breach)
Rearranged…
(But no one changed)
[Fade Out]
