Recruiting

**[Intro – synth wave swell, distant drum-n-bass beat, then a sharp exhale]**

*[sigh]*  
…You hear that?  
That’s your heartbeat learning to crawl  
…*[breath]*  
Good  

**[Verse 1 – aggressive, rapid, alternative metal energy]**

Step off the line, the ground is singing static  
Your hands shake, but steel is automatic  
See that flash? That’s your future splitting wide  
Every wound's a story — wanna run and hide?  
I’ve seen bones poke through like broken teeth  
Skin sizzle on hot brass underneath  
But listen close, shinu tame ja nai — not to die  
We fight to feel the razor kiss the sky  

**[Pre-Chorus – BPM climb, synth stabs, breathless]**

Feel the fear, let it crawl inside your chest  
Do it anyway — put that trembling to rest  
Step over yourself, leave the boy behind  
The battle’s just a rave for the broken mind  

**[Chorus – screaming, layered, drum-n-bass break]**

**Rise!** (HA!) – The blood is just a beat  
**Rise!** (HA!) – Let the adrenaline repeat  
**Rise!** (HA!) – Your scars will learn to sing  
**Rise!** (HA!) – This is your recruiting  

**[Verse 2 – more atmospheric, synthwave undertone, then building]**

Your leg will twist, your lungs will taste the rust  
But that first hit — kami knows it’s sacred trust  
I’ve held a man whose guts were warm as rain  
He smiled and said, “I’m finally not in pain”  
You’ll scream, you’ll cry, you’ll beg for softer days  
But after that, you’ll crave the endless blaze  
*[breath]*  
So take this blade, it’s borrowed, not your own  
And learn to love the feeling of the unknown  

**[Bridge – slower, pulsing, almost hypnotic]**

*[sigh]*  
…Feel the fear…  
*[whisper]* …do it anyway…  
*[breath]* …step over yourself…  
The ground is shaking — that’s just your name being called  

**[Chorus 2 – same but faster, glitch breaks, rave energy]**

**Rise!** (HA!) – The blood is just a beat  
**Rise!** (HA!) – Let the adrenaline repeat  
**Rise!** (HA!) – Your scars will learn to sing  
**Rise!** (HA!) – This is your recruiting  

**[Outro – pulsating synth, heartbeat, then sudden cut]**

…One more breath…  
…One more step…  
*[quiet exhale]*  
You’re already dead —  
—  

**[Silence — no fade, no reverb, dead stop]**
