Lyrics SRT:

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

2
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,000
[Verse 1]
Dim room, shadows crawl,
Monitors flicker on the wall.

3
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Air hangs heavy, thick and deep,
A silent promise we can’t keep.

4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Your hand in mine, a fragile hold,
A story fading, growing cold.

5
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:43,000
[Chorus]
We built our haven, stone by stone,
A sanctuary, all alone.

6
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,000
But the walls are cracking, thin and frail,
As hope unravels, starts to fail.

7
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Fraying threads, a whispered plea,
Will there be anything left of me?

8
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:01,000
[Verse 2]
Just hours ago, laughter bright,
Anticipating morning light.

9
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,000
A child’s arrival, sweet and new,
Dreams we held, so strong and true.

10
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Now echoes linger, empty sound,
As the world collapses all around.

11
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000
[Bridge]
“The harvest of dark matter… destabilized… spacetime…”

12
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,000
[Chorus]
We built our haven, stone by stone,
A sanctuary, all alone.

13
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:32,000
But the walls are cracking, thin and frail,
As hope unravels, starts to fail.

14
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Fraying threads, a whispered plea,
Will there be anything left of me?

15
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,000
[Verse 3]
Footsteps quicken in the hall,
Physiotics blur beyond the wall.

16
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,500
A silent warning, sharp and clear,
The end is drawing ever near.

17
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:57,000
I wipe my face, try to stand tall,
But fear consumes, engulfs us all.

18
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Ooh

19
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:11,000
[Break]
[instrumental]

20
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:19,000
[Verse 4]
A gentle beep, a calming sound,
Breaking silence all around.

21
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:25,000
The AI speaks, precise and cold,
A new life waiting to unfold.

22
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Labor begins, a fragile start,
A flicker burning in my heart.

23
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:42,000
[Bridge]
A cry so small, a life so new,
A miracle shining through.

24
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Our son… our child… a precious grace,
A moment held in time and space.

25
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,000
[Verse 5]
I hold him close, warm and bright,
Bathed in the fading, sterile light.

26
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Your eyes meet mine, a knowing gaze,
Lost in this fleeting, fragile haze.

27
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:07,000
We did it, Ashira, we survived,
A tiny spark, where hope still thrived.

28
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Ooh

29
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,000
[Outro]
[Jivar and Ashira overlapping]
“Gamma rays…” [whispered]
“The light…” [fading]
“I’m sorry…” [broken]
“Hold on…” [repeated, fading into silence]

30
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000
“Hold on…”

31
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
“Hold on…”
