[Intro]
(Opening: screaming electric guitar solo — high bends, a descending four-note motif that becomes the vocal hook. Thunder cracks on beat 4, guitar answers with a sharp snap)
[Guitar Solo — Lead Motif]
(12-bar lead: starts on a high B bend, falls into the descending motif that will echo the vocal rhythm into Verse 1)
[Verse 1]
Neon ash on empty streets, cigarette suns go pale,
Sparks in subway rails like constellations for the frail.
Broken billboards hum a hymn of late-night sins,
I walk the alley where the thunder writes my sins.
[Pre-Chorus]
Thunder says my name — a spit of light and flame,
Heartbeat to the drum — I can't let go of blame.
[Chorus]
Back to hell — we answer the call.
Back to hell — watch the towers fall.
Back to hell — lightning in our veins.
Back to hell — we break these chains.
[Verse 2]
We stole the map, burned the route to yesterday,
Radio ghosts scream a war song in the fray.
Shadows lace our boots with salt and gasoline,
We chase the bright—red horizon of the obscene.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Thunder snaps again — a code I can't unhear,
Guitar screams the line — the skyline disappears.
[Chorus]
Back to hell — we answer the call.
Back to hell — watch the towers fall.
Back to hell — lightning in our veins.
Back to hell — we break these chains.
[Guitar Solo — Mid]
(Fierce, melodic: reprises the intro motif, then climbs into a staccato run that mirrors the vocal rhythm. At measure 8 the solo bends into the bridge key, setting up the harmonic lift.)
[Bridge — Breakdown → Anthemic Rise]
(Quiet at first: single clean guitar, distant thunder rolls)
Quiet: I felt the scorch beneath my name,
Quiet: the city bent like an ember-frame.
(Build) — drums tap like footsteps, guitar layers stack,
We are the spark — we are the flare, we are the ones who dare.
(Full lift) — vocal harmony stack (3-part) soars:
We will not go alone,
We will take our throne,
Thunder calls us home — back to hell.
[Chorus — Final (stacked harmonies)]
Back to hell — we answer the call.
Back to hell — watch the towers fall.
Back to hell — lightning in our veins.
Back to hell — we break these chains.
[Guitar Solo — Finale]
(Extended: takes the intro motif, expands it into a wide melodic sweep, then slides into a screaming octave run that resolves into the last vocal stab. Thunder hits on the final bend to sync with the vocal cadence.)
[Outro]
(Guitar winds down on the motif; thunder becomes a heartbeat in the snare. Last line is a whisper-howl.)
Thunder says my name — then fades.
(End with distant thunder and a single, fading guitar note that echoes the descending motif.)
