Lyrics
[Verse 1] Puppet strings from nowhere
Written in the sky
Every move I make was planned before
Before I learned to cry
The stage lights flicker gold
A script I never chose
But I found the crack between the scenes
Where the story goes
[Pre-Chorus] So tear the page
Burn the plot
This ending isn't mine
[Chorus] Cut the wire from above
Sever every thread they wove
When the hand descends from heaven
Make it miss and make it bleed
Cut the wire from above
Take the pen they never hold
I am not your prophecy
I am not your story told
[Verse 2] They wrote me as the victim
A footnote in the grand design
But villains need a reason
And the hero needs a lie
I memorized their pattern
Every beat before it lands
Now I'll write a different ending
With my own two hands
[Pre-Chorus] So break the wheel
Shatter the glass
This miracle won't last
[Chorus] Cut the wire from above
Sever every thread they wove
When the hand descends from heaven
Make it miss and make it bleed
Cut the wire from above
Take the pen they never hold
I am not your prophecy
I am not your story told
[Bridge] (No deus)
No god descending
(No machina)
No machine to save
I'll be my own salvation
In the chaos that I crave
[Breakdown] Shatter the plot
Break the design
Crush the hand
That pulls the line
[Chorus] Cut the wire from above
Sever every thread they wove
When the hand descends from heaven
Make it miss and make it bleed
Cut the wire from above
Take the pen they never hold
I am not your prophecy
I am not your story told
[Outro] (Not your story)
Not your story told
(Not your story)
[Verse 3] They whisper psalms of endings
Pre-written from the start
But I've been learning counterpoint
To the rhythm of their hearts
Every miracle they summon
Every answered prayer on cue
I've mapped the seams of heaven
And I know just what to do
[Pre-Chorus] Spit on fate
Mock the sign
The answer is the knife
[Chorus] Cut the wire from above
Sever every thread they wove
When the hand descends from heaven
Make it miss and make it bleed
Cut the wire from above
Take the pen they never hold
I am not your prophecy
I am not your story told
[Opera Section] (Volo)
I will break your woven sky
(Volo)
I will watch your idols die
(Volo)
No chorus saves you now
(Volo)
I am the final vow
[Guitar Solo] [Breakdown] Snap the spine of fate
Rewrite what they create
No deus
No ex
No machina
No more
[Bridge] They'll send their saviors down
To end the story right
But I'll be standing on the clouds
When heaven loses light
[Final Chorus] Cut the wire from above
Sever every thread they wove
When the hand descends from heaven
Make it miss and make it bleed
Cut the wire from above
Take the pen they never hold
I am not your prophecy
I am not your story told
[Outro] (No deus)
I am the ending now
(No machina)
I am the final bow
(No deus)
No hand to pull me down
(No machina)
I'm the god of this town
