Vault Door Closing

Lyrics

-Verse 1-

Stand in line, don’t make a sound,

Badges bright and clean,

Someone drops a suitcase down,

Someone stares at the screen.

Siren wailin’ far away,

Echoes underground,

Then that rumble starts to roll—

A slow, unholy sound.

-Chorus-

Hear that vault door closing slow,

Grinding out the world we know,

Turning sky to solid steel—

Making goodbye something real.

-Verse 2-

There’s a slice of daylight left,

Thin as paper skin,

Golden edge on concrete walls

As the wheel begins to spin.

Dust falls from the ceiling beams,

Children start to cry,

Nobody says the word “forever”

But it’s hangin’ in the sky.

-Chorus-

Hear that vault door closing slow,

Feel the tremor down below,

Every inch a final say—

Rolling all the blue away.

-Spoken Bridge-

It wasn’t fast.

That’s the thing.

If it slammed shut…

Maybe we could’ve called it panic.

But it didn’t.

It turned.

And turned.

And turned.

Like it had all the time in the world.

Like the world already didn’t.

-Verse 3-

Now the circle’s just a coin,

Now it’s just a thread,

Now it’s just a memory

Of everything we said.

One last beam across the floor,

One last breath of sun—

Then metal meets the mountain…

And the outside’s done.

-Final Chorus-

Hear that vault door closing tight,

Swallowing the light,

Sealing fate in iron gray—

Taking yesterday away.

Hear that echo deep and low,

Feel it in your bones below—

That rolling thunder made of fear…

Still sounds inside my ear.
