You Only Live Once

Intro (whisper / piano requiem + guitar arpeggio)

One breath for the living...

One scream for the dead...

You only live once —

Before the silence spreads...

Verse 1 (clean ethereal + tremolo guitar)

Under the dying sun I kneel,

My shadow burns, my wounds don’t heal.

The frost remembers every name,

That time has buried under shame.

Pre-Chorus (orchestral build)

The mirror cries — reflection torn,

The beast inside of me reborn.

The soul decays where angels bled,

A life once lived — now lives in dread.

Chorus (screamed + clean dual vocals)

You only live once!

Before the void consumes the flame!

You only die twice!

When they forget your name!

Bleed through the dawn,

Frozen and numb,

In death I rise —

Forever undone!

Verse 2 (growl + choral backing)

Whispered prayers in fields of bone,

Eternal night — my only home.

The blood of hope, the tears of light,

Flow in the dark — to feed the fight.

Bridge (Requiem theme – spoken → scream)

“This is not life... this is remembrance.”

“This is not death... this is forever.”

(blast beat + piano requiem + scream)

Let the fire kiss my fate!

Let the silence consecrate!

Breakdown (slow tempo, heavy guitar + choir)

Final Chorus (epic choir + layered vocals)

You only live once!

But the night will never fade!

You only die once!

But the beast remains unscathed!

Through the flames I’m reborn,

Through the pain I am sworn,

To live once more —

Forever torn!

Outro (piano + strings requiem)

You only live once...

You only die forever...
