(Intro — Swelling minor strings, muted brass, and a slow, heavy piano motif) (Verse 1) A velvet room, a razor’s edge A whispered lie, a broken pledge You pour the poison through the ice And name your game, and roll the dice Behind the glass, the shadows lean The sharpest blade that you’ve ever seen (Pre-Chorus) Light bends across the cold champagne A flash of gold to hide the pain Step into the fire, let the crosshairs meet The world will burn beneath your feet (Chorus) 'Cause everything that cuts can shine A stolen hour, borrowed time Diamonds blinding through the dark A bullet born inside a spark You turn and smile before the fall— A cold, dead sparkle takes it all. (Verse 2, beat switch to jungle house edm) A phantom heartbeat in the quiet A secret keeping down a riot You wear betrayal like a gown To watch the royal houses drown No second chances in this light Just one clean trigger in the night (Pre-Chorus) Light bends across the cold champagne A flash of gold to hide the pain Step into the fire, let the crosshairs meet The world will burn beneath your feet (Chorus) 'Cause everything that cuts can shine A stolen hour, borrowed time Diamonds blinding through the dark A bullet born inside a spark You turn and smile before the fall— A cold, dead sparkle takes it all. (Bridge — Dramatic orchestral surge, roaring brass, crescendo) They buy your soul in carats deep A million secrets left to keep You strike the match, you let it glow And give them all one final show… (Guitar/Brass Solo — Classic spy-chord sting) (Chorus — Full power, soaring vocals) Everything that cuts can shine! A stolen hour, borrowed time! Diamonds blinding through the dark A bullet born inside a spark You turn and smile before the fall— A cold, dead sparkle takes it all… (Outro — Strings fade into a lingering, unresolved minor-major 9th chord) Watch it sparkle… Into nothing… Gone.
