[Intro]

[Verse]
Uneasy strings begin to weep
A fractured silence, secrets deep
The blueprints laid, a solemn vow
Decisions cast, but not by now
My entrance late, a ghost unseen
Upon this stage, a broken scene

[Pre-Chorus]
The piano chords, a chilling dread
Each note a stone upon the dead
A grand design, a noble quest
But built on sand, it fails the test

[Chorus]
A seat at the table, but the feast is done
The foundations cracked, before I'd even begun
This grand opera, a tragic play
Where every note rings out dismay
I see the flaws, the structural decay
But I arrived too late to change the way

[Verse]
Layered choirs chant a hollow praise
Lost in the labyrinth of their maze
The heavy riffs, a mid-tempo grind
Reflect the chaos in my mind
They speak of futures, bright and bold
But ancient fears, their story told

[Pre-Chorus]
The tension builds, a stifled plea
This architecture baffles me
Priorities skewed, a twisted art
They've torn the very soul apart

[Chorus]
A seat at the table, but the feast is done
The foundations cracked, before I'd even begun
This grand opera, a tragic play
Where every note rings out dismay
I see the flaws, the structural decay
But I arrived too late to change the way

[Bridge]
My voice restrained, a whisper frail
Against the storm, a hopeless wail
Then bitterness begins to bloom
A wounded spirit sealed in gloom
I'm bound to serve what I decry
Beneath an unforgiving sky

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
The cold realization, stark and grim
My input sought, but on a whim
Exclusion’s chill, a gnawing doubt
Their path was set, no room for scout
My vision blurred, my purpose gone
Just echoes of a setting sun

[Chorus]
A seat at the table, but the feast is done
The foundations cracked, before I'd even begun
This grand opera, a tragic play
Where every note rings out dismay
I see the flaws, the structural decay
But I arrived too late to change the way

[Outro]
