[Intro, Spoken Word]
Fire!
[Intro – Alarm Pulse, Urgent Drums, Distorted Guitar]
Red lights flashing through the haze
Every second starts to blaze
Smoke is rising, tension climbs
No more room for wasted time
[Verse 1]
Heat is creeping up the walls
Echoed warnings through the halls
Every exit sign’s a plea
Pointing toward what we can’t see
Voices cut through growing fear
“Move it now, don’t linger here”
Every step a racing beat
Pounding hard beneath our feet
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you know where…
(The fire exit is?)
Are you aware
(This is not a quiz)
[Chorus]
There’s a fire
Burning higher
(And, we’ve gotta get out of here)
Hey! Did you hear
Just to be clear
(There’s a fire burnin’ higher)
[Refrain]
(Fire, fire, fire)
It’s our desire
(To get outta here)
Far, far from dire
(Please bring it near)
We gotta get out of here!
[Verse 2 – Intensified Rhythm]
Ceiling cracking, sparks ignite
Turning shadows into light
Every moment closing in
Like the air is growing thin
Hands are reaching, pulling through
No one’s leaving anyone behind you
Through the smoke, a path appears
Cutting through the noise and fear
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you know where…
(The fire exit is?)
Are you aware
(This is not a quiz)
[Chorus]
There’s a fire
Burning higher
(And, we’ve gotta get out of here)
Hey! Did you hear
Just to be clear
(There’s a fire burnin’ higher)
[Refrain]
(Fire, fire, fire)
It’s our desire
(To get outta here)
Far, far from dire
(Please bring it near)
We gotta get out of here!
(Fire, fire, fire)
[Bridge – Breakdown, Half-Time, Heavy Atmosphere]
Don’t freeze, don’t wait
Every second shifts your fate
Follow signs, stay low, stay tight
Move together toward the light
No panic, no fall
We can make it through it all
Through the heat and through the flame
We don’t leave the same
[Build – Snare Rolls, Rising Guitar + Synth]
Closer now, don’t lose the line
Every step we’re buying time
Through the smoke, a glow appears
Cutting through our doubts and fears
[Final Chorus – Full, Explosive]
There’s a fire
Burning higher
(And, we’ve gotta get out of here)
Hey! Did you hear
Just to be clear
(There’s a fire burnin’ higher)
[Final Refrain – Layered Vocals]
It’s our desire
(To get outta here)
Far, far from dire
(Please bring it near)
We gotta get out of here!
(Fire, fire, fire)
Fire, fire, fire
(We gotta get out of here!)
[Outro – Sirens Fade, Soft Guitar]
Out of the smoke…
(Relieve the choke)
Into the air…
(Outta there)
[Silence]
