The Ride is Over

[intro]
[Dark, moody guitar riff (Audioslave-inspired)]
[Heavy slap bass groove (Korn-style), slow pounding drums]

[verse 1]
I kept pushing, I held the line
Took the hits, said I was fine
Every war, every fight
Left me hollow, drained me dry

[pre-chorus]
No more strength, no more lies
No more wars left to survive

[chorus]
The ride is over, I’m stepping out
No more screams, no more doubt
Tried so hard, but I can’t pretend
This is my last message… this is the end

[guitar riff + bass breakdown]
[Heavy groove, drums pounding deep]

[verse 2]
Every scar tells a tale
Every wound left a trail
Built up walls, let ‘em crack
No one’s listening, no way back

[pre-chorus]
No more strength, no more lies
No more wars left to survive

[chorus]
The ride is over, I’m stepping out
No more screams, no more doubt
Tried so hard, but I can’t pretend
This is my last message… this is the end

[guitar solo]
[Screaming bends, raw distortion, emotional wails]

[bridge]
Don’t cry for me, don’t ask why
I gave my all, I lived my fight
Now I fade, now I break
Let me go… I can’t stay

[final chorus]
The ride is over, I’m stepping out
No more screams, no more doubt
Tried so hard, but I can’t pretend
This is my last message… this is the end

[outro]
[Soft bass hums, guitar echoes fade]
This is the end…

[Final note rings out, silence follows]
