It’s Time

(The song must have a long, monumental orchestral overture with choir and heavy drums entering late. No lead vocal in the intro. The chorus must be large and choir-driven.) [Verse 1] The clock beneath our skin still beats, A borrowed pulse, a fragile heat, We trade the now for shining lies, And call it time when something dies. We build tomorrow out of smoke, We swear the fire is under control, But every second, every breath Is a step closer to the edge. [Instrumental] (no vocals, orchestra and guitars) [Chorus] It’s time, the silence breaks, It’s time, the world awake, We run on borrowed flame, It’s time. [Verse 2] We count the ruins, not the cost, We paint it gold and pay the price, Every warning fades in noise, Every choice becomes a voice. The hourglass is burning low, Still we pretend we do not know, We dance on cracks, we praise the fall, Until the ground can’t hold us all. [Chorus] It’s time, the silence breaks, It’s time, the world awake, We run on borrowed flame, It’s time. [Guitar Solo – instrumental] (no vocals, long melodic guitar solo with orchestra) [Bridge] No more “someday”… No more “too late”… The now is all that remains. [Final Chorus] It’s time, the silence breaks, It’s time, the world awake, We run on borrowed flame, It’s time. [Outro – long instrumental] (Grand orchestral ending with choir and heavy drums. No lead vocals.)
