[Intro]
\n[Instrumental Intro: Deep Synth Drone, Glass Percussion, Low Bass Pulse, Distant Radio Voices]
\n[Slow Build: Piano Notes, Electronic Beeps, Rising String Pad]
\n[Whispered Vocals]
\nHere’s the story:
\n(Come, come)
\nWelcome
\n(To the laboratory)
\n[Mechanical Drum Fill]<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\n[Steady Beat, Bass Guitar, Muted Guitar Chops, Atmospheric Synth]
\nGlass towers rising
\nUnder burning skies
\nCities full of motion
\nDreams and alibis
\nWe mixed fire with metal
\nWe carved roads through the trees
\nBuilt machines for tomorrow
\nThen forgot the seas<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\n[Snare Build, Layered Vocals, Synth Swell]
\nEvery answer brought a question
\nEvery cure came with a cost
\nWe were chasing immortality
\nNever counting what we lost<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\n[Full Band: Driving Drums, Big Synths, Distorted Guitar, Choir Backing Vocals]
\nCome hear man’s story
\n(In our laboratory)
\nWe call it planet Earth
\n(Where you found your birth)
\nTest tubes full of memory
\n(Broken symmetry)
\nWe made a world of wonder
\n(Then pulled it all asunder)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental Break]
\n[Lead Synth Melody, Guitar Echoes, Pulsing Bass]<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\n[Beat Drops Back, Piano Added, Warm Bassline]
\nChildren in the shadows
\nLooking at the stars
\nAsking if the future
\nWill remember who we are
\nSmoke above the mountains
\nPlastic in the rain
\nA paradise of progress
\nRunning through our veins<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\n[Building Tension, Percussion Layers, Rising Harmony]
\nWe kept digging ever deeper
\nSearching for another way
\nTurning night into a factory
\nTurning gold into decay<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\n[Full Band Returns, Wider Harmony, Bigger Drums]
\nCome hear man’s story
\n(In our laboratory)
\nWe call it planet Earth
\n(Where you found your birth)
\nFragments of creation
\n(Lost in automation)
\nStill beneath the damage
\n(There lives imagination)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\n[Half-Time Beat, Dark Synth Pad, Minimal Piano]
\nIn the wires
\nIn the weather
\nIn the oceans turning warm
\nIn the silence of the forests
\nIn the coming of the storm<\/p>\n
[Bridge Build]
\n[Drums Return, Strings Rise, Choir Swells]<\/p>\n
We can still rewrite the ending
\nWe can still become reborn
\nWe can break the walls around us
\nWe can heal what we have torn<\/p>\n
[Guitar Solo]
\n[Electric Guitar Solo with Synth Arpeggios, Heavy Tom Drums]
\n[Final Chorus]
\n[Massive Chorus: Full Orchestra, Heavy Drums, Layered Choir, Synth Bass]
\nCome hear man’s story
\n(In our laboratory)
\nWe call it planet Earth
\n(Where you found your birth)
\nHold the flame before it fades
\n(Stand against the falling waves)
\nWe are more than what we’ve broken
\n(We are every word unspoken)<\/p>\n
Come hear man’s story
\n(In our laboratory)
\nThe future’s still alive
\nIf we choose to survive<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\n[Instrumental Outro: Fading Piano, Soft Synth Drone, Distant Thunder]
\n[Whispered Vocals]
\nThat’s our story:
\n(Dumb, dumb)
\nNo why… no “how come?”
\n(In our labor-atory)
\n[Fade Out]<\/p>\n
