Modern Decay

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

The silence is bleeding, the shadows are long

The dynamic arches of heaven are gone

I'm holding the pieces of what used to be

A beautiful ruin inside of me

The strings of my heart are starting to fray

As the last fading ember is turning to gray

Pre-Chorus

Build up

Can you hear the crescendo of modern decay?

We wash all our sins in the pouring rain

We scream in the dark, but the notes never bend

We play the same song until the end

Chorus

In this beautiful tragedy, I am alive

Feeding the fire just to survive!

Let the symphony crash, let the sky fall apart

You can't break what's already a shattered heart!

We drown in the melody, heavy and deep

A promise we're breaking, a secret we keep

Verse 2

The anger is rising, a beautiful storm

In the ashes of angels, a demon is born

No words left to whisper, no tears left to cry

We just watch the horizon and wave it goodbye

It's heavy, it's cold, the weight of the crown

Watch the empire burning down

Pre-Chorus

Build up

Driving drums, rising pitch

Can you hear the crescendo of modern decay?

We wash all our sins in the pouring rain

We scream in the dark, but the notes never bend

We play the same song until the end

Chorus

In this beautiful tragedy, I am alive

Feeding the fire just to survive!

Let the symphony crash, let the sky fall apart

You can't break what's already a shattered heart!

We drown in the melody, heavy and deep

A promise we're breaking, a secret we keep

Bridge

Strike the chord

Let it bleed

Everything you wanted, everything you need

Vocal belt

In the distortion we find our peace

Release me! Release me!

Cello Solo

Chorus

In this beautiful tragedy, I am alive

Feeding the fire just to survive!

Let the symphony crash, let the sky fall apart

You can't break what's already a shattered heart!

We drown in the melody, heavy and deep

A promise we're breaking, a secret we keep

Outro

A secret we keep

The music dies down

The silence returns

And my world

Turns to stone
