Nova in Reverse

[Intro]
Silent shadows creeping, stars about to stride
Frozen in the moment, caught in the tide

[Verse 1]
We were born to shine, reaching for the sky
Bright flames ignite our dreams, then say goodbye
Flickering, fragile, in the cold night air
A spark that lingers, fading with despair

[Pre-Chorus]
But time is a thief, stealing all we hold dear
A burst of brilliance, then breaking clear

[Chorus]
Nova in reverse, falling apart in the dark
Lost in the chaos, screaming from the heart
Exploding silently, echoes through the void
A celestial demise, beauty deployed

[Bridge]
Layered voices rising, overlapping cries
Polyphonic chaos, truth in disguise
Harmony in madness, singing the same refrain
Exposing the beauty behind the pain

[Outro]
We watch it all fall, then rebuild anew
From the ashes, shining through
A nova in reverse, destined to disperse
Fading into the universe, unrehearsed

Rock and progressive metal with emotional singing, screaming, male vocals, polyphonic layering near climax
