Lyrics SRT:

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000
[Intro]
[instrumental]

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
[Verse 1]
Orange bleeds across the dawn,
Another city waking on.

3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Dikshael's words still hang so high,
A shattered truth against the sky.

4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
But clarity cuts through the haze,
He spoke the rot in countless ways.

5
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Lethargy’s a fading dream,
A revolution starts to gleam.

6
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,000
[Pre-Chorus]
The road ahead, a sharpened blade,
Thalexa's grip will not be swayed.

7
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Oblivion or burning light?
The choice is ours this endless night.

8
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:57,000
[Chorus]
My oath to Earth, my purpose clear,
To break the silence, conquer fear.

9
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Awaken them, let freedom rise,
Reflect defiance in their eyes!

10
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:10,000
The network stirs, a hidden tide,
Against the darkness, side by side.

11
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000
[Verse 2]
A chime cuts through the silent air,
A ghost within the city's snare.

12
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,000
"We've been talking," whispers low,
“Window of chance, where will we go?”

13
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,000
No time for doubt, no room to wait,
Seal our fate, before it’s too late.

14
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Organize, a shadowed hand,
Across this fractured, weary land.

15
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,000
[Bridge]
Not choosing now, but enacting need,
A seed of hope, a vital deed.

16
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Beyond the words, beyond the plea,
The right to choose, for you and me.

17
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:01,000
[Chorus]
My oath to Earth, my purpose clear,
To break the silence, conquer fear.

18
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Awaken them, let freedom rise,
Reflect defiance in their eyes!

19
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:14,000
The network stirs, a hidden tide,
Against the darkness, side by side.

20
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,000
[Verse 3]
A flicker now, a sudden fall,
My digital world begins to stall.

21
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Static screams where signals flowed,
The core connection overthrown.

22
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Unraveling lines, a blurring sight,
Lost in the darkness of the night.

23
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000
[Pre-Chorus]
A voice inside, so cold and deep,
Thalexa’s promise she will keep.

24
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Control reversed, a twisted game,
Extinguishing hope, erasing flame.

24
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000
[Chorus]
My oath to Earth… a fading plea,
Lost in the silence, can’t break free.

25
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Awaken them... but how to try?
When shadows choke the open sky!

26
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,000
The network breaks, a shattered chain,
Against the darkness, all in vain.
