Rude Awakening

[Verse 1]
Shatter the silence, the night’s bleeding red,
Claws of the truth rip the dreams from my head!
Chains of illusion, they snap and they scream,
Waking the fire in this nightmare machine!
[Pre-Chorus]
No escape, no disguise,
The mirror burns with hollow eyes!
[Chorus]
Rude awakening! The sky’s torn apart!
Rude awakening! It’s tearing my heart!
Fists to the heavens, I’m breaking the cage,
Born in the fury, I’m fueling the rage!
[Verse 2]
Shadows betray me, their whispers like knives,
Cutting through memories, no one survives!
The ground’s collapsing, my soul’s set to blaze,
Trapped in the ruins of these blood-soaked days!
[Pre-Chorus]
No remorse, no retreat,
The pulse of vengeance, my heartbeat!
[Chorus]
Rude awakening! The sky’s torn apart!
Rude awakening! It’s tearing my heart!
Fists to the heavens, I’m breaking the cage,
Born in the fury, I’m fueling the rage!
[Bridge]
(Slow, crushing riff, spoken/growled)
The clock stops ticking, the world holds its breath,
I am the storm, I am the death!
(Rising intensity)
No gods, no masters, no chains to obey,
I’ll burn this wasteland and carve my own way!
[Guitar Solo]
(Instrumental break for a blistering solo, ~20 seconds)
[Chorus]
Rude awakening! The sky’s torn apart!
Rude awakening! It’s tearing my heart!
Fists to the heavens, I’m breaking the cage,
Born in the fury, I’m fueling the rage!
[Outro]
(Heavy, chugging riff, fading out)
Rude awakening! No turning back!
Rude awakening! The world fades to black!
Rude awakening! I’m forged in the pain!
Rude awakening! I’ll rise from the flame!
