[Intro]

[Verse]
Foundations laid with promised stone
A vision etched, a future shown
Each beam a vow, each wall a creed
Sown in ambition, watered by need
The blueprints spread, a world unfurled
My life, my work, my all, my world

[Pre-Chorus]
But whispers rose, a subtle crack
Distrust, a phantom on the track
Did I not see, or did I choose?
To build on sand, to bear the bruise?

[Chorus]
Behold the grand design, now torn apart
The Architecture of Collapse, a work of art
Symphonies of ruin, a choir's lament
As systems crumble, trust is rent
This monumental tragedy, bravely faced
My broken identity, interlaced
With broken systems, a terrible, clear light
Falling with the project, into endless night

[Verse]
Accusations fly, like shards of glass
Reflecting failures, as moments pass
Each architect a traitor, each colleague a foe
Where did the honest purpose go?
I poured my soul, my very breath
Into this structure, courting death
Of spirit, hope, and all that's pure
Now only echoes will endure

[Pre-Chorus]
The weight of what we built so high
Crushes the will beneath the sky
Did I not know, or did I hide?
The rot within, the turning tide?

[Chorus]
Behold the grand design, now torn apart
The Architecture of Collapse, a work of art
Symphonies of ruin, a choir's lament
As systems crumble, trust is rent
This monumental tragedy, bravely faced
My broken identity, interlaced
With broken systems, a terrible, clear light
Falling with the project, into endless night

[Bridge]
Oh, the grief, a tidal wave
Of dreams interred within this grave
This monument to what could be
Now just a tomb for you and me
The orchestra swells, a mournful cry
As all our certainties now die
We sought the heavens, found the deep
Where promises we could not keep
Lie shattered, lost, forever gone
Beneath the apocalyptic dawn

[Solo]

[Verse]
The revelation, stark and cold
A story tragically untold
Until this moment, this final stand
My identity, a grain of sand
Lost in the storm, the dust, the fall
I gave my everything, gave my all
To something flawed, a fragile lie
Beneath an unforgiving sky

[Chorus]
Behold the grand design, now torn apart
The Architecture of Collapse, a work of art
Symphonies of ruin, a choir's lament
As systems crumble, trust is rent
This monumental tragedy, bravely faced
My broken identity, interlaced
With broken systems, a terrible, clear light
Falling with the project, into endless night

[Outro]
