Zero Hour

[Silence]

[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Low Drone, Clock-like Hi-Hat, Pulsing Bass]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]

Three…
Two…
One…
(No rerun)
Oh, no…
(No zero)
[Snare hit — full band enters]

[Verse 1]
Built it tall
(On a fault line)
Stacked it high
(On borrowed time)

King of the hill
(With a paper crown)
Signed your name
(On a sinking town)

[Pre-Chorus]
You heard the click
But ignored the sound
When gravity calls
It pulls you down

[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Percussion Drops to Heartbeat Kick, Synth Pulse Accelerates]
[Spoken Vocal]

Three, two, one
(No cover)
Three, two, one
(Under pressure)
Oh, no…
(No zero)

[Build: Rising Synth Arpeggio, Guitar Feedback Swell]

[Chorus]
Zero hour
(Lights flicker)
Final round
(Trigger, trigger)

Tick, tick, flash
(Fuse is lit)
You built the match
Now live with it

[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo — fast, ascending run]
[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]

[Verse 2]
Big talk, countdown
(Crowd goes thin)
Echo chamber
(Caving in)

Master plan
(With a missing gear)
When the clock strikes
(Truth gets clear)

[Pre-Chorus]
You played the odds
You rolled the dice
But seconds don’t negotiate
And time’s the price

[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Sub Bass Only, Whispered Vocal]

Three…
Two…
One…
(None)
Oh, no…
(No zero)

[Full Band Slam Back In]

[Chorus – Full Band]
Zero hour
(Lights flicker)
Final round
(Trigger, trigger)

Tick, tick, crash
(Fuse is lit)
You built the match
Now answer it

[Break – Call & Response]
(Who’s counting now?)
— The crowd, the crowd
(Who’s laughing now?)
— Not so loud

[Outro]
[Snare March Slows, Bass Drops Out One Note at a Time]

Three…
Two…
One…

[Sudden Silence]

(Game over… for good.)
