Pre-ChorusIt learns our doors, it finds the latch,Slips past the lights that ought to catch,The alarms stay low, the screens stay dim,But something new is moving in. ChorusSo raise your eyes, hold steady, hear,A quiet storm is drawing near,If silence is the way it spreads,We’ll answer loud with what we’ve read.We won’t look away—we’ll track the thread. Verse 2In airway walls it builds its fire,High-tide copies climbing higher,While signal bells refuse to ring,A muted warning in the wing. BridgeBut there’s a shield we’ve seen before,A message at the cell’s front door,A single spark that flips the night,And cuts the chasing down to size. Final ChorusSo raise your eyes, hold steady, hear,A quiet storm is drawing near,We’ll watch the edges where we meet,Count every footprint in the heat.With open hands and clearer sight,We’ll catch the dark before it bites.
