[Silence]
[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Low Drone, Distant Thunder, Pulsing Bass, Slow Piano Chords]
[Whispered Vocals, Echoed Guitar, Organ Swell]
The fever rises
(The host rejects)
The warning spreads
(Of man’s neglects)
Causing of rifts
(Through every vein)
The balance shifts
(And fight begins)
[Verse 1]
[Steady Beat, Deep Bass, Muted Guitar, Atmospheric Synth]
The waters overflow now
The boundaries disappear
The forests burn in silence
The smoke replaces air
The insects leave the flowers
The coral turns to stone
The world begins to fight back
Against what it has grown
(Fight back)
Attack!
[Pre-Chorus]
[Snare Roll, Rising Synth, Layered Vocals]
One more flood
One more flame
One more storm without a name
One more drought
One more scar
One more warning from afar
[Chorus]
[Full Band, Heavy Drums, Distorted Guitar, Choir Vocals]
The host rejects
The parasite
(You got that right)
The host rejects
What feeds inside
(No place to run… no place to hide)
The host rejects
(What drains its veins)
The host rejects
(What brings the pain)
The host rejects
(What spread too far)
The host rejects
(What we are)
[Instrumental Break]
[Organ Solo, Guitar Echoes, Heavy Bass Pulse]
[Verse 2]
[Beat Drops Back, Piano Chords, Low Synth, Warm Bassline]
The oceans rise around us
The weather turns disastrous
The heat goes ever higher n’ dire
The species in fear disappear
The sky turns strange and angry
The seasons lose their shape
And every wall we built now
Cannot help us escape
[Pre-Chorus]
[Building Tension, Cymbal Swells, Layered Harmony]
One more failure
One more cost
One more line already crossed
One more empire
One more throne
One more reason we’re alone
[Chorus]
[Full Band Returns, Bigger Synths, Double Kick Drums]
The host rejects
The parasite
(You got that right)
The host rejects
What feeds inside
(No place to run… no place to hide)
The host rejects
(What drains its veins)
The host rejects
(What brings the pain)
The host rejects
(What spread too far)
The host rejects
(What we are)
[Bridge]
[Half-Time Beat, Dark Synth Drone, Minimal Piano]
Mother Nature has a memory
Older than the walls we raise
Older than our towers
Older than our modern age
She can wash away a city
She can starve a nation dry
She can bring the strongest empire
To its knees beneath the sky
[Bridge Build]
[Drums Return, Strings Rise, Choir Swells]
The fever climbs
(The body fights)
The fever climbs
(Through endless nights)
The fever climbs
(And still we stare)
The fever climbs
(As if it’s not there)
[Guitar Solo]
[Wild Guitar Solo, Organ Stabs, Heavy Tom Drums]
[Final Chorus]
[Massive Chorus: Full Orchestra, Heavy Drums, Layered Choir, Synth Bass]
The host rejects
The parasite
(You got that right)
The host rejects
What feeds inside
(No place to run… no place to hide)
The host rejects
(What drains its veins)
The host rejects
(What brings the pain)
The host rejects
(What spread too far)
The host rejects
(What we are)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Fading Piano, Organ Drone, Distant Thunder, Slow Heartbeat Percussion]
No surprises…
The fever rises
(The host rejects)
The warning spreads
(Through every vein)
Brings on the dreads
(The host rejects)
Man neglects
[Fade Out]
