(Verse 1)
Chantelle | Rosehill Secondary College
In a city of shadows, where the neon lights flicker
Silent screams echo, whispers grow thicker
Concrete jungles rise, choking on despair
Hope is a memory, lost in the polluted air
(Pre-Chorus)
Metal monsters roam, on streets paved with regret
A symphony of sirens, a future we can’t forget
In this dystopian dance, we’re prisoners of the night
Searching for a flicker of the long-lost light
(Chorus)
Oh, welcome to the wasteland, where dreams decay
In the ruins of tomorrow, where the lost ones sway
A symphony of discord, a world in disarray
In this dystopian ballad, we find our way
(Verse 2)
Broken echoes of laughter in deserted alleys
Hollow faces hide in the neon valleys
Whispers of rebellion, painted on the walls
But in this dystopian canvas, resistance falls
(Pre-Chorus)
Cybernetic eyes watch, from the towering spires
A dystopian heartbeat, fueled by stolen desires
In the silence of the ruins, where shadows play
We’ll write our own story, find our own way
(Chorus)
Oh, welcome to the wasteland, where dreams decay
In the ruins of tomorrow, where the lost ones sway
A symphony of discord, a world in disarray
In this dystopian ballad, we find our way
(Bridge)
Beneath the steel sky, where the rivers run cold
We’ll plant seeds of rebellion, stories yet untold
In the heart of the darkness, where the rebels sing
A revolution rises, spreading on the broken wing
(Verse 3)
In the face of the tempest, where the storm clouds gather
A spark in the chaos, like a rebel’s tether
Through the smog and the ruins, we’ll find a way
In this dystopian symphony, a brighter day
(Pre-Chorus)
The echoes of our footsteps, the rhythm of our fight
Against the machine, in the cold neon light
In the ruins of our dreams, where the lost ones pray
We’ll rewrite the ending, in this dystopian ballet
(Chorus)
Oh, welcome to the wasteland, where dreams decay
In the ruins of tomorrow, where the lost ones sway
A symphony of discord, a world in disarray
In this dystopian ballad, we find our way
(Outro)
So, in the echoes of the wasteland, where the future’s unknown
We’ll build a new world from the seeds we’ve sown
In the cadence of rebellion, where the lost ones find release
This dystopian ballad ends, and a new melody finds its peace
