[Intro]

[Verse]
The grand design, a titan's dream
Built on whispers, a fragile scheme
Each blueprint etched in blood and sweat
A future promised, I can't forget
Now shadows lengthen, cracks appear
Echoes of doubt, the rising fear

[Pre-Chorus]
This gilded cage, it starts to sway
As foundations crumble, day by day
The polished facade begins to crack
There is no turning, no turning back

[Chorus]
Oh, the architecture of collapse!
A symphony of shattered maps!
Where broken systems intertwine
With a broken trust, a broken sign
Of identity, lost in the fray
Apocalypse in disarray

[Verse]
I see the faces, hear the lies
Reflected in your vacant eyes
Accusations hang in poisoned air
A burden I alone must bear
This grand facade, a hollow shell
A personal descent to hell

[Pre-Chorus]
The iron will begins to bend
As all our efforts meet their end
This monumental, tragic fall
Answering oblivion's call

[Chorus]
Oh, the architecture of collapse!
A symphony of shattered maps!
Where broken systems intertwine
With a broken trust, a broken sign
Of identity, lost in the fray
Apocalypse in disarray

[Bridge]
The grief washes over, a tidal wave
For what we lost, the lives we gave
This intricate and fallen art
Has ripped my very soul apart
But in this ruin, stark and deep
A terrible beauty I will keep

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
The revelation, stark and clear
The end was written, year by year
Systemic rot, a hidden blight
Consuming all with endless night
My fractured self, a mirror held
To the grand failure, that has compelled

[Pre-Chorus]
We stand amidst the dust and stone
A harvest of the seeds we've sown
No more pretense, no more delay
Just the ashes of yesterday

[Chorus]
Oh, the architecture of collapse!
A symphony of shattered maps!
Where broken systems intertwine
With a broken trust, a broken sign
Of identity, lost in the fray
Apocalypse in disarray

[Outro]
