[Verse 1] I’m just a kid in a war suit, Hands won’t stop shaking on the grips. You call it “fate” when the guns shoot, I call it blood on my fingertips. You say I’m born for this cockpit, “See what the normal ones can’t see.” But every flare on my target Feels like it’s burning into me. [Pre-Chorus] You say this pain will make me wise, “See through the fog, read all their lies.” But every echo in my head Just keeps on asking why we’re dead. [Chorus] Newtype, Oldtype, we all bleed the same, Dying for colors and borrowed names. Newtype, Oldtype, do you feel it too— Every shot tearing right through you? Newtype, Oldtype, who will take the blame? Men with clean hands, far from the flame. Newtype, Oldtype, we all bleed the same… We all bleed the same. [Verse 2] I hear them cry through the static, Fear in a language with no words. We’re just spent fuel for your tactics, Names disappearing into blur. You call it “gift,” you call it “sign,” Proof that your history must be right. But every mind that cuts through mine Is screaming that they don’t want to fight. [Pre-Chorus] You say our hearts can bridge the void, “Understand them through the noise.” If that was true, then why are we Still turning kids into your toys? [Chorus] Newtype, Oldtype, we all bleed the same, Dying for colors and borrowed names. Newtype, Oldtype, do you feel it too— Every shot tearing right through you? Newtype, Oldtype, who will take the blame? Men with clean hands, far from the flame. Newtype, Oldtype, we all bleed the same… We all bleed the same. [Verse 3] Men in their rooms without starlight Move little markers over maps. They talk of “rights” and “greater light,” But never hear the hulls collapse. They change the story when bodies rise, Call us “awakened” or “betrayed.” Out here I look in my enemy’s eyes And all I see is someone afraid. [Pre-Chorus] If this is all your grand design, Why does it feel like endless grief? If I can feel a stranger’s soul, Why can’t we lay these guns and leave? [Bridge – Clean / Harsh] (Clean) Can you feel me breaking through your lines? (Harsh) Hold the course, they’re the sacrifice. (Clean) Every pilot that you send to burn— (Harsh) Just another wheel that has to turn. (Clean) If you could see what I can feel, (Harsh) You would know this war’s not real. (Clean) If you could hear them say your name, Would you still play the same old game? [Breakdown – Soft] All these voices in my veins, All these lives you turn to stains. Tell me, is there anything Left of us you didn’t claim? [Chorus] Newtype, Oldtype, we all bleed the same, Dying for colors and borrowed names. Newtype, Oldtype, do you feel it too— Every shot tearing right through you? Newtype, Oldtype, who will take the blame? Men with clean hands, far from the flame. Newtype, Oldtype, we all bleed the same… [Final Tag] Newtype, Oldtype… We all bleed the same.

[Intro] (Spoken, radio-filter) FAF Control… mission flag is live. JAM detection grid is running. Rei Fukai—launch when ready. (soft, female whisper) …Yukikaze… [Instrumental Intro] (8–16 bars: fast build, double-kick, rising lead) [Verse 1] Up on the lift in a hangar glow, white skin waiting in lines of snow— green net crawling across the dark, JAM like ghosts in a scanning spark. Crew backs off and the world goes thin, engine heartbeat under my skin; I watch the grid like a frozen sea— and she watches the grid with me. [Pre-Chorus] Warnings bloom, then the noise turns clean, like a hand on the edge of my screen. And she leans in close as the needles climb— GATE in the storm—split the sky this time. [Chorus] Winter-wing, in the wire and light, hold me steady through the teeth of night. When the radar lies and the shadows speak, be the quiet that I can keep. Fairy-shape in a prison glow, name in static, breath of snow— and I’ll crack that seal if it asks for me… just don’t let the dark learn to pilot me. [Verse 2] City’s evacuated—streets gone mute, towers blinking like a broken flute. They wore our faces, walked our halls, hid in the crowd behind human walls. So she drops like a myth in a dive so hard, white-blue streak like a thrown-down shard— cut the infiltrators out of the frame, burn the false men out of their names. [Pre-Chorus] Target boxes, lock tone choir, missiles writing thin lines of fire. The ground erupts, the skyline bends— and she flies like she knows how this ends. [Chorus] Winter-wing, in the wire and light, hold me steady through the teeth of night. When the sky turns loud and the world turns weak, be the calm that I can keep. Fairy-shape in a prison glow, eyes like frost, like a river of snow— and I’ll crack that seal if it asks for me… just don’t let the dark learn to pilot me. [Instrumental Solo] (EXTENDED: 48–80 bars — mission complete hit here) [Interlude] (short, 8–16 bars; spoken/whisper over pads) (whisper) …the key… (radio) “Mission complete.” (whisper) …not yet… [Verse 3] Behind the glass, behind the bars, she shines like wings made out of stars— Key in my hand and the lock stares back, like it knows what I’m going to crack. She doesn’t talk like the living do— but the silence says: I will carry you through. [Pre-Chorus] New frame rolling, same cold grace, deck lights sliding across her face… Then the doors swing wide on their own— and she looks at me like I’m known. [Chorus] Winter-wing, now the deck is gone, we rise from steel into open dawn. Not an order, not a leash, not a chain— just a vow in the cold-blue rain. Fairy-shape, in the wire and light, flying with me, not for me, tonight— and I’ll crack that seal if it asks for me… if you stay close and remember me. [Instrumental Break] (SHORT: 16–32 bars — montage space, not a full solo) [Bridge] (Half-time, then build) If the JAM can wear my eyes, if it speaks in my voice and lies… show me how to stay my own when the world wants me overwritten and grown. Turn the key—if the curse is real, cut the fear out of the hard cold steel. Not to vanish, not to become a ghost— to come back whole when the sky hurts most. [Build] (8–16 bars: drums ramp back to full speed) [Final Chorus] Winter-wing—take the weapon throne, B-503, let the guns be your own. Drones on the rails and the storm on my tail, and you thread me through like a guided nail. Fairy-shape in the wire and light, hold me steady through the end of night— and when it’s done, when the smoke turns free, give that sky-nod back… so I know you’re still me. [Outro] (Instrumental, 16–32 bars; then spoken) FAF Control… contact fading. No—correction. That’s Yukikaze. (soft whisper) …I’ll return…

[05:12.76][Build] (8–16 bars: drums ramp back to full speed) [05:12.76][Final Chorus] [05:12.76]Winter-wing—take the weapon throne, [05:16.51]B-503, let the guns be your own. [05:19.62]Drones on the rails and the storm on my [05:21.70]tail, [05:22.02]and you thread me through like a guided [05:24.33]nail. [05:24.73]Fairy-shape in the wire and light, [05:28.00]hold me steady through the end of night— [05:29.92]and when it’s done, when the smoke turns [05:32.95]free, [05:33.27]give that sky-nod back… so I know you’re [05:42.04]still me.
[Intro] (Spoken, radio-filter) F.A.F. Control… mission flag is live. JAM detection grid is running. Rei Fukai—launch when ready. (soft, female whisper) …Yukikaze… [Instrumental Intro] (8–16 bars: fast build, double-kick, rising lead) [Verse 1] Up on the lift in a hangar glow, white skin waiting in lines of snow— green net crawling across the dark, JAM like ghosts in a scanning spark. Crew backs off and the world goes thin, engine heartbeat under my skin; I watch the grid like a frozen sea— and she watches the grid with me. [Pre-Chorus] Warnings bloom, then the noise turns clean, like a hand on the edge of my screen. And she leans in close as the needles climb— GATE in the storm—split the sky this time. [Chorus] Winter-wing, in the wire and light, hold me steady through the teeth of night. When the radar lies and the shadows speak, be the quiet that I can keep. Fairy-shape in a prison glow, name in static, breath of snow— and I’ll crack that seal if it asks for me… Just don't let the dark pilot me. [Verse 2] City’s evacuated—streets gone mute, towers blinking like a broken flute. They wore our faces, walked our halls, hid in the crowd behind human walls. So she drops like a myth in a dive so hard, white-blue streak like a thrown-down shard— cut the infiltrators out of the frame, burn the false men out of their names. [Pre-Chorus] Target boxes, lock tone choir, missiles writing thin lines of fire. The ground erupts, the skyline bends— and she flies like she knows how this ends. [Chorus] Winter-wing, in the wire and light, hold me steady through the teeth of night. When the sky turns loud and the world turns weak, be the calm that I can keep. Fairy-shape in a prison glow, eyes like frost, like a river of snow— and I’ll crack that seal if it asks for me… Just don't let the dark pilot me. [Instrumental Solo] (EXTENDED: 48–80 bars — mission complete hit here) [Interlude] (short, 8–16 bars; spoken/whisper over pads) (whisper) …the key… (spoken) “Mission complete.” (whisper) …not yet… [Verse 3] Behind the glass, behind the bars, she shines like wings made out of stars— Key in my hand and the lock stares back, like it knows what I’m going to crack. She doesn’t talk like the living do— but the silence says: I will protect you. [Pre-Chorus] New frame rolling, same cold grace, deck lights sliding across her face… Then the doors swing wide on their own— and she looks at me like I’ve always known. [Chorus] Winter-wing, now the deck is gone, we rise from steel into open dawn. No order can bind us—no leash, no chain— just a vow in the cold-blue rain. Fairy-shape, in the wire and light, flying with me, not for me, tonight— and I’ll crack that seal if it asks for me… if you stay close and remember me. [Instrumental Break] (SHORT: 16–32 bars — montage space, not a full solo) [Bridge] (Half-time, then build) If the JAM can wear my eyes, if it speaks in my voice and lies… show me how to stay my own when the world wants me overwritten and grown. Turn the key—if the curse is real, cut the fear out of the hard cold steel. Not to vanish, not to be a ghost— to come back whole when the sky hurts most. [Build] (8–16 bars: drums ramp back to full speed) [Final Chorus] Winter-wing—take the weapon throne, B-503, let the guns be your own. Drones on the rails and the storm on my tail, and you thread me through like a guided nail. Fairy-shape in the wire and light, hold me steady through the end of night— and when it’s done, when the smoke turns free, give that sky-nod back… so I know you’re still me. [Outro] (Instrumental, 16–32 bars; then spoken) F.A.F. Control… contact fading. No—correction. That’s Yukikaze. (soft whisper) …I’ll return…

Here I stand is a song set in Ash and Aegis.
It's a song about protecting the Ward City.
By Robert Graham [Intro] Here I wait. Here I stand. Here I fight. And here I fall. [Verse 1] Infinity stretches out beyond, A thousand choices, all now one. It’s always been here, under skin, A single moment born in sin. The last war tore the world apart, And let the hunger learn our hearts. We sealed the breach with steel and stone, Then swore the line would never fall. My Rig’s a shadow over stone, Ten meters tall, but not alone. Reactor-thrum and plated chest— A walking “no”, they’ll never best. [Pre-Chorus] Gyro steady. Coolant cold. Servos sing what vows can’t hold. If something moves beneath that seam, It meets the iron and the scream. [Chorus] So here I stand, and here I wait, Guardian of the forbidden gate, Here I fight and here I fall, Protecting you from it all. [Verse 2] I ride the Badlands, dust and bone, Where every signal dies alone. Each footfall hits like distant guns, And wakes the dark things that run. Callisto rides my neural net, A cold, clear voice that never bets, She finds the seam where they will tread, She tags the kill-zone—paint it red. We push out far to bleed them dry, So nothing gathers in the sky. We burn the nests, we break the packs— Then drag their nightmare bodies back. [Pre-Chorus] If the line bends, we don’t retreat, We drive it straight with iron feet. No victory hymn, no medal wall— Just keep them out. That’s all. That’s all. [Chorus] So here I stand, and here I wait, Guardian of the forbidden gate, Here I fight and here I fall, Protecting you from it all. [Bridge] (half-time / heavy) I'm still here, Ten meters of steel, Blade and all, I hold the wall. [Spoken] (Callisto over radio static) CALLISTO: “Motion in the waste. Multiple contacts.” RIDER: “Range.” CALLISTO: “Closing fast.” RIDER: “Good. Let them come.” [Bridge 2] They want the Gate. They want the light. They want the world back in that night. But I was built for this alone— To be the storm. To be the wall. [Final Chorus] (bigger) So here we stand, and here we wait, Guardian of the forbidden gate, Here we fight and here we fall, Protecting you from it all. [Outro] Here we wait. Here we stand. Here we fight. And here we'll fall.

By Robert Graham. Verse 1 Sirens bleeding through the yard, Neon rain and plating scarred, Ghost-light crawling down the frame, Every launch feels just the same. Lace is burning in my head, City says the zone’s not dead, Tower glass and warning sun, Lock me in and load the drums. Pre-Chorus Grid is humming, reactor bright, Badlands waiting past the light, Steel beneath me, smoke in lungs, Tell me I’m not done. Chorus I’ve got to walk, I’ve got to run, I’ve got to hold onto my gun, Out in the waste or in your face, Just one more dawn to chase. I’ve got to move, I can’t come undone, I’ve got to hold onto my gun, When the sky goes black and the towers hum, I hold the line till morning comes. Verse 2 Feed the mag and check the seal, Make the machine remember steel, Hear the servos start to whine, Feel that heartbeat sync with mine. Static ghosts inside the net, Names of all the dead I’ve met, Wardline shining cold and bright, Like it can keep out the night. Pre-Chorus But out beyond the border flame, Nothing out there knows my name, Only teeth and signal loss, Always counting what it costs. Chorus I’ve got to walk, I’ve got to run, I’ve got to hold onto my gun, Out in the waste or in your face, Just one more dawn to chase. I’ve got to move, I can’t come undone, I’ve got to hold onto my gun, When the sky goes black and the towers hum, I hold the line till morning comes. Bridge Red lights, black glass, deep-lace fire, Push the sync a little higher, If I burn then let me break, With the whole world in my wake. No sleep, no saints, no clean way home, Just hard steel and the static drone, If I fall, don’t kill the sound, Turn it up, don’t shut me down. Final Chorus I’ve got to walk, I’ve got to run, I’ve got to hold onto my gun, Out in the waste or in your face, Just one more dawn to chase. I’ve got to move, I can’t come undone, I’ve got to hold onto my gun, When the sky goes black and the towers hum, I hold the line till morning comes. Outro Hold the line, hold the line, Please don’t let this be my time, I can feel the whole ground drum, I’ll hold on till my kingdom comes.

[Verse 1] Harvest failed on distant plains, Cold took ships and dust took grain, Far from Earth and far from aid, Worlds endured what distance made. [Verse 2] Trade ran thin from star to star, Want grew close and help too far, Proud alone, each realm had learned, Pride could not keep engines turned. [Chorus] Hard roads bound the scattered worlds, Need became the tighter cord, Not through peace and not through grace, But through hunger, loss, and strain. [Verse 3] So they turned to oath and hand, System bound itself to land, House and league and compact swore, None would stand alone no more. [Verse 4] Not for glory, not for throne, But to keep their people whole, Step by step and scar by scar, Order rose from lives gone hard. [Chorus] Hard roads bound the scattered worlds, Need became the tighter cord, Not through peace and not through grace, But through hunger, loss, and strain. [Bridge] What began as will to live, Soon became the right to rule, And the bonds first forged in need, Would become the claims of kings. [Final Chorus] Hard roads bound the scattered worlds, Need became the tighter cord, From those years of loss and strain, Rose the powers war would name. [Outro] So before the banners flew, Before the old ambitions grew, The hardest years had taught them all Why worlds would gather — or would fall.
[Verse 1] No more word from distant Earth, No more claim of common birth, Through the silence, stark and wide, Every world stood on its pride. [Verse 2] What began in hope and flame, Turned to border, turned to name, Not one people, not one sky, But realms that would not bend or tie. [Chorus] Far dominion, rising far, Every world became a star, Not in peace and not in awe, But in the shape of all we are. [Verse 3] Governors became the law, Held by steel and held by awe, Trade and force in equal hand, Bound each system to its land. [Verse 4] Routes grew thin and ties grew weak, Distance made the future bleak, Every fleet and every throne, Learned to hold with what they owned. [Chorus] Far dominion, rising far, Every world became a star, Not in peace and not in awe, But in the shape of all we are. [Verse 5] Old commands had lost their weight, Earth was now too far, too late, Left with hunger, left with need, Each world grew by will and greed. [Verse 6] Some sought order, some sought gain, Some just swore to break no chain, But from rimward edge to core, None believed in one world more. [Chorus] Far dominion, rising far, Every world became a star, Not in peace and not in awe, But in the shape of all we are. [Verse 7] House by House and line by line, Power formed through blood and time, Not yet crowns in fullest name, But already much the same. [Verse 8] And while Terra burned and fell, Others learned to guard their realm, How to hold and how to draw, Rule from distance into law. [Final Chorus] Far dominion, lost so far, Every world prepared for war, Not for peace and not for awe, But in the wake of all we are. [Outro] So before the wars were named, Before the Houses staked their claims, The oldest lessons still unlearned Would usher in the coming flames.

[Verse 1] On Terra, voices bound as one, What the wars had left undone, From the ash and from the flame, Rose a League and took its name. Not through conquest, not through claim, But through oath and chosen aim, For a moment, brief and rare, Peace had weight and filled the air. [Verse 2] From that dawn the League would stand, Not just word—but force in hand, To unite what had been lost, No matter what the final cost. Out beyond the settled line, Where no League law held its sign, Worlds that once had broken free, Stood against that unity. [Chorus] Crown of stars, forged in flame, Unity in more than name, Held by will and held by war, All that we were reaching for. [Verse 3] “We are not what Terra claims, Not their past nor bound by chains, We have bled to stand alone, This is ours—this is our home.” Line by line they chose to stand, Steel and fire in their hand, Not in rage and not in fear, But because their right was clear. [Verse 4] Some would break and some would burn, Some would fight and never turn, Every world a line to hold, Every life already sold. Not for conquest, not for gain, But to never bow again, And in every shattered scar, Lived the truth of what they are. [Chorus] Crown of stars, forged in flame, Unity in more than name, Held by will and held by war, All that we were reaching for. [Verse 5] So the League advanced in line, Measured force and ordered time, Ranks aligned and doctrine set, Every move in purpose met. Not as raiders, not as kings, But as something sharper still, War controlled by mind and hand, Steel directed by command. [Verse 6] Some would hold through fire and loss, Paying every inch in cost, Worlds that would not bend or break, Even knowing what it takes. Strike for strike and blow for blow, Nothing given, nothing slow, Line by line and field by field, Only death would make them yield. [Chorus] Crown of stars, forged in flame, Unity in more than name, Held by will and held by war, All that we were reaching for. [Verse 7] In the end the League would stand, Reaching out with iron hand, Periphery bent but not undone, Bound beneath the rising sun. Victory carved in ash and stone, Not a thing the League alone could own, For in every world they won, Lived the cost of what was done. [Verse 8] And beneath that ordered reign, Lingered ash and buried pain, For though war had forged the whole, It had carved a deeper toll. Crown of stars and banner bright, Cast a long and quiet night, Hope was real—but so the scar, Written deep in who we are. [Final Chorus] Crown of stars, forged in flame, Unity in more than name, Held by will and held by war, All that we were reaching for. [Outro] From the vow to end the war, Came a war unlike before, And though peace was finally won, We sowed the seeds of what would come.
[Verse 1] After centuries of flame, Every war became the same, Lines were drawn and held in blood, None could break the endless flood. World by world and throne by throne, Each had strength but stood alone, Victory was never won, Only passed from one to one. [Verse 2] Terra watched but did not move, Held apart and held its truth, From that silence came a voice, Not of war—but of a choice. Cameron spoke not of command, Not of conquest, not of land, But of ending what they knew— Something none believed was true. [Chorus] Forged in hope, not steel alone, Not by right of blood or throne, From the ash of endless war, Came a path not walked before. [Verse 3] First to turn were those most worn, Realms where war had left them torn, Not in trust and not in peace, But to see the cycle cease. Measured words and guarded tone, Still they chose to stand, not alone, Not in faith—but not in fear, Something different drawing near. [Verse 4] Others watched and weighed the cost, Counted all that war had lost, Saw no end in what remained, Only ground forever claimed. Not surrender, not defeat, But a shift beneath their feet, Not to win—but to restrain, What no power could contain. [Chorus] Forged in hope, not steel alone, Not by right of blood or throne, From the ash of endless war, Came a path not walked before. [Verse 5] Late to stand were those still scarred, Holding wounds that struck too hard, War at home had left its mark, Left its rule both split and dark. Still they saw what might be made, If the endless war could fade, Not erased—but held in line, Bound by law instead of time. [Verse 6] Last to yield was pride and blade, Where no easy trust was made, Measured word and measured hand, Tested what this peace might stand. Not in faith and not in trust, But because they saw they must, Not to bow and not to break— But to choose a path to take. [Chorus] Forged in hope, not steel alone, Not by right of blood or throne, From the ash of endless war, Came a path not walked before. [Verse 7] Not to end what war had been, Not to cleanse or make it clean, But to bind the blade in place, Hold it back from open space. Force restrained and law applied, Not removed—but set aside, So that worlds both small and great, Might not fall to endless fate. [Verse 8] So on Terra, voices swore, Not as they had sworn before, Not in conquest, not in claim, But in something new by name. From the fire and from the scar, Rose a League to stand between, Every House and every throne, Bound—but still each held its own. [Final Chorus] Forged in hope, not steel alone, Not by right of blood or throne, From the ash of endless war, Came a path not walked before. [Outro] Not an end and not a cure, Not a peace that would endure, But for once beneath the sun, War was not the only one.
[Verse 1] Harvest failed on distant plains, Cold took ships and dust took grain, Far from Earth and far from aid, Worlds endured what distance made. [Verse 2] Trade ran thin from star to star, Want grew close and help too far, Proud alone, each realm had learned, Pride could not keep engines turned. [Chorus] Hard roads bound the scattered worlds, Need became the tighter cord, Not through peace and not through grace, But through hunger, loss, and strain. [Verse 3] So they turned to oath and hand, System bound itself to land, House and league and compact swore, None would stand alone no more. [Verse 4] Not for glory, not for throne, But to keep their people whole, Step by step and scar by scar, Order rose from lives gone hard. [Chorus] Hard roads bound the scattered worlds, Need became the tighter cord, Not through peace and not through grace, But through hunger, loss, and strain. [Bridge] What began as will to live, Soon became the right to rule, And the bonds first forged in need, Would become the claims of kings. [Final Chorus] Hard roads bound the scattered worlds, Need became the tighter cord, From those years of loss and strain, Rose the powers war would name. [Outro] So before the banners flew, Before the old ambitions grew, The hardest years had taught them all Why worlds would gather — or would fall.
Tells the start of the Battletech History
[Verse 1] In the last years of Earth’s divide, Ash and steel on every side, Nations broken, borders thin, Still we looked to rise again. Through the fire and fractured skies, Came the dream to reach outside, Not as one, but all the same, Each would chase the stars for claim. [Verse 2] Then the black was split in two, Kearny-Fuchida cut it through, Space itself was bent to will, Distance broke and time stood still. In a heartbeat, worlds away, Lay within a single day, What was distant, cold, unknown, Now could fall beneath a throne. [Chorus] First light burning, engines rise, Carried hope into the skies, From the cradle, far from home, We were never meant to roam. [Verse 3] World by world the void was crossed, Some were built and some were lost, Flags were driven into stone, Every system claimed a throne. Cold and distant, harsh and wide, Still we carved the dark aside, Every colony, hard and won, Fed the reach of everyone. [Verse 4] Terra watched and Terra led, Bound the routes and lines they spread, Trade became a chain of power, Held from cradle, hour by hour. Alliance ruled with firmer hand, Order stretched across the span, But the weight it came to bear, Cracked the rule it built to share. [Chorus] First light burning, engines rise, Carried hope into the skies, From the cradle, far from home, We were never meant to roam. [Verse 5] But the further out we came, Less we cared for Terra’s claim, Distance turned to something more, Not just space, but quiet war. Governors and distant lords, Held their worlds with local swords, Every system, proud and far, Started asking what we are. [Verse 6] Trade routes stretched and thinned the line, Too much space and not enough time, Back on Earth the fires burned, And the center inward turned. War on Terra pulled fleets away, Distant worlds were left to stay, No command and no return, Only what each world could earn. [Chorus] First light burning, engines rise, Carried hope into the skies, From the cradle, far from home, We were never meant to roam. [Verse 7] No more voice from distant Earth, No more claim of common birth, Alliance broke and slipped its hold, Power split and fractured cold. Left with distance, steel, and will, Each would rise—or each would kill, From that silence, stark and raw, Came the first true Age of War. [Verse 8] What began as reaching hands, Turned to borders, turned to plans, Every system marked its claim, Every lord would stake a name. And between the stars so far, Burned the truth of what we are, Not one voice nor single hand, But a thousand fractured lands. [Final Chorus] First light burning, engines rise, Carried war into the skies, From the cradle, far from home, We were never meant to roam. [Outro] From divided Earth we came, Through the dark to carve our name, But in every star we won, Burned the wars that had begun.
[Verse 1] On Terra vows were barely said, Before the border worlds ran red, Silk and gold gave way to flame, And war rode out in Davion’s name. Fed Suns struck with Lyran steel, World by world gave up the field, And while the wedding torches burned, All the realms had sharply turned. [Verse 2] Capellan marches split and reeled, Province after province yield, And in the east the Dragon bled, While all the old maps burned red. Princes counted loss and gain, Measured triumph out in pain, Every victory, hard and won, Showed what all the wars’d become. [Verse 3] Then came war in thirty-nine, Testing Kurita’s battered line, Not the end nor final blow, Just another debt to owe. Steel remembered, factories stirred, Half-forgotten knowledge heard, And deep within old memory’s core, Lost machines were born once more. [Verse 4] Then the Helm core split the night, Dragged lost knowledge back to light, Hands recalled what they could build, Ghosts returned to forge and kill. What long decline had stripped away, Came back line by line that day, And all the realms through fear and pride, Armed themselves for what would rise. [Chorus] Blood and steel, ash and flame, Still the wars outlived the name, Crowns would rise and thrones would fall, History marched beyond them all. [Verse 5] Far beyond the Periphery, Past the edge of charted sea, Kerensky’s children came in flame, To claim old Terra in the Founder’s name. Smoke Jaguar and Ghost Bear came, Jade Falcon, Wolf all bound by name, Four hard roads through blood and fire, Four invasion fronts that fed the pyre. [Verse 6] World by world the line gave way, Old commands were torn like clay, Princes watched their borders break, Heard the HPGs all shake. Then on Tukayyid they stood, Com Guards knee-deep ash and blood, Bought the Sphere a breathing span, Held Terra from the waiting Clans. [Verse 7] But the truce did not end the score, It only held the blade in store, When the Star League rose once more, It struck at Jaguar to the core. Bulldog broke their holding zone, Burned through worlds they’d called their own, Then Serpent drove through Huntress fire, And cast Smoke Jaguar on the pyre. [Verse 8] Still the victors turned within, Pride and grievance, blood and kin, Wolf and Falcon, oath and spite, Fed the long consuming fight. Victor, Katherine, claim and blade, FedCom split in civil flame, Every triumph soured in hand, When kin made war across the land. [Chorus] Blood and steel, ash and flame, Still the wars outlived the name, Crowns would rise and thrones would fall, History marched beyond them all. [Verse 9] Blake had built on prayer and wire, Kept old Terra for their fire, When the second League was slain, They swore the stars had broken faith. So they answered loss with wrath, Holy war on every path, Outreach burned beneath their hand, As doctrine marched with ship and brand. [Verse 10] Jihad carved through flesh and steel, Made the wounded Sphere to kneel, Orbital fire and broken grids, Crashed on all the worlds they hit. Then from ruin Stone arose, Built Republic from the blows, Walled-off peace on blood-soaked land, Trying calm by iron hand. [Verse 11] For a while the guns burned low, For a while the roads could hold, But silence is a brittle throne, And history hates to sleep alone. Fortress walls and fading light, Old ambitions learned to bite, Dark Age came with ash-filled lungs, Half-dead gods and loaded guns. [Verse 12] Wolves and Falcons drove at last, Through the wreckage of the past, Toward the cradle, toward the grave, Toward the world all empires craved. Alaric took the poisoned crown, Brought the Republic crashing down, And on Terra’s broken stone, Raised the blood-bought ilClan throne. [Final Chorus] Blood and steel, ash and flame, Still the wars outlived the name, Crowns would rise and thrones would fall, History marched beyond them all. [Outro] From a wedding gift to Terra’s fall, From Clan return to the final call, What was broken was never gone, Only waiting to march back on, Blood and steel, ash and flame, History changed, but stayed the same.

blood-bought ilClan throne. 202 00:05:55,771 --> 00:06:00,319 Blood and steel, ash and flame, 203 00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:03,271 Still the wars outlived the name, 204 00:06:03,271 --> 00:06:05,266 Crowns would rise and thrones would 205 00:06:05,266 --> 00:06:09,733 fall, 206 00:06:09,733 --> 00:06:16,355 History marched beyond them all. 207 00:06:16,355 --> 00:06:20,665 From a wedding gift to Terra’s fall, 208 00:06:20,665 --> 00:06:24,574 From Clan return to the final call, 209 00:06:24,574 --> 00:06:29,201 What was broken was never gone, 210 00:06:29,201 --> 00:06:39,016 Only waiting to march back on, 211 00:06:39,016 --> 00:06:43,723 Blood and steel, ash and flame, 212 00:06:43,723 --> 00:06:44,920 History changed, but stayed the same.
[Verse 1] In the last years of old Earth fire, We reached beyond the smoke and wire, Cold black seas and newborn suns, History’s long march had begun. World by world the void was crossed, Dreams were bought and millions lost, Banners rose in alien light, Empire born from need and spite. [Chorus] Blood and steel, dust and flame, Every age just changed the name, Crowns would rise and empires fall, History marched beyond them all. [Verse 2] Terra cast a longer hand, Bound the stars to law and plan, Then the Hegemony climbed high, Set its throne against the sky. Science sang and shipyards roared, Steel was forged for newer wars, Then the Mackie took the field, And the old world learned to yield. [Verse 3] Cameron forged the Star League dream, Five great Houses bound between, For a time the roads ran bright, Order crowned itself with light. League law spread from core to rim, Peace was bought by fear of him, Golden halls and iron hands, Holding fire across the lands. [Verse 4] But marble cracks beneath the gold, And every throne grows hard and cold, Amaris came with smiling teeth, Murder waiting just beneath. Terra screamed beneath the blow, Palace halls ran red below, League turned corpse and glory ash, All its splendor broke in half. [Chorus] Blood and steel, dust and flame, Every age just changed the name, Crowns would rise and empires fall, History marched beyond them all. [Verse 5] Kerensky raised the battered sword, Drove the usurper from the court, Won back Terra, throne, and grave, But not the world he tried to save. Lords were circling for the kill, Each one hungry, proud, and still, So he turned from all they’d known, Led his exiles out alone. [Verse 6] Then began the long collapse, Treaties burned and jump routes snapped, First Succession, furnace-blind, Left whole nations cut behind. Second came with deeper scars, Nuked-out worlds and shattered stars, Third dragged on through rust and bone, Every House for blood and throne. [Verse 7] Knowledge died by slow degrees, Lost in raids and dynasties, Memory cores and shipyard lines, Turned to relics, dust, and shrines. Kings wore crowns of broken steel, Called the ruin law and zeal, Neo-feudal, grim, and proud, Swearing strength while systems bowed. [Verse 8] Still the MechWarriors held the line, Year by year and House by sign, Davion, Kurita, Liao, Marik, Steiner, oath and vow. On a thousand brutal fronts, Men and women bore the brunt, Every border, every raid, Fed the grave the Houses made. [Bridge] Yet in the dark the embers stayed, Buried deep but never dead, Not in courts or polished lies, But in the ones who fought and bled. History waits through ash and wire, Through rusted throne and fading war, And when old kingdoms think it broken, It comes back sharper than before. [Verse 9] Then on Terra vows were sworn, Silk and steel and banners drawn, Hanse took Melissa’s hand, Before the lords of every land. And when the wedding feast was called, He smiled before them one and all, “My dear, I give you, as a gift, The Capellan Confederation.” [Final Chorus] Blood and steel, dust and flame, Every age just changed the name, Crowns would rise and empires fall, History marched beyond them all. [Outro] From the smoke of Earth to a marriage vow, From a broken League to the blade drawn now, What was buried was never gone, Only waiting to march back on, Blood and steel, dust and flame, History turned and named its claim.

[00:34.43][Verse 1] [00:34.78]They called me home, like a closing jaw, [00:37.57]A single word, a single law. [00:40.21]I left my past on Outreach’s hills, [00:42.92]And took my Blood-name back for real. [00:45.00]They called me traitor, called me kin, [00:48.67]Both are right—depends which skin I’m [00:49.04]I’m not here to kneel or beg, [00:51.30]in. [00:51.62]I’m not here to kneel or beg, [00:53.61]I’ve come to prove this wolf ain’t dead. [00:56.53][Chorus 1] [00:56.88]Say my name—the Black Widow, [00:58.96]Say it out in open light. [01:01.99]One word. One law. Step on in— [01:04.70]Let’s see if you can bite. [01:06.86]The Widow’s back—my fangs are out. [01:10.13]I didn’t come to play. [01:12.12]You want a legend, cub? [01:16.27]Then watch me fight. [01:28.93][Verse 2] [01:29.28]I’ve seen crusaders burn their oaths, [01:31.99]And wardens choke on righteous quotes. [01:34.78]I’ve watched proud banners turn to rags, [01:37.42]And heroes traded like their tags. [01:40.13]You preach of honor, neat and clean, [01:42.92]I’ve lived the space in-between. [01:45.63]So come in tight, come fast, come brave— [01:48.43]I’ll teach you how a legend’s made. [01:53.82][Chorus 2] [01:54.17]Say my name—the Black Widow, [01:56.25]Say it out in broad daylight.

[02:21.78]But war don’t care what songs you know, [02:24.49]And cockpit glass will teach you slow. [02:27.20]I count my friends by empty bays, [02:30.00]By silent comms and scorched displays. [02:32.95]If you want me, earn the cost— [02:35.42]I don’t come cheap, and I don’t stop. [02:40.18][Chorus 3] [02:40.53]Say my name—the Black Widow, [02:42.60]Say it out in broad daylight.

[02:59.20]Then step in close. Take your shot. [03:12.49][Verse 4] [03:12.84]You weighed my years like rust on steel, [03:17.71]And thought the bite had gone dark. [03:23.13]You stared at scars and saw a crack, [03:28.56]I smiled—and took your measure back. [03:34.06]I’ve bled where green kids learn to boa [03:38.93]st, [03:39.57]I’ve paid in friends and burned-out [03:44.12]ghosts. [03:45.00]So keep your whispers, keep your pride— [03:50.42]The Circle speaks. Step in. Decide. [03:55.66][Bridge] [03:56.01]You want my name, then say it right, [03:58.64]Not in the dark — out in the light. [04:01.59]Bring your star, bring all your pride, [04:04.06]I’ll burn that look from behind your [04:06.30]eyes. [04:06.86]No mercy here, no last request, [04:09.49]Just a Widow’s fangs, and no regrets. [04:12.20]If fate’s a blade, I hold the hilt— [04:15.00]Now come and choke on all you built. [04:21.11][Final Chorus] [04:21.46]Say my name—the Black Widow, [04:23.53]Say it out in broad daylight. [04:26.56]One word. One law. Step on in— [04:29.20]Let’s see if you can bite. [04:31.43]The Widow’s back—my fangs are out. [04:34.70]I didn’t come to play. [04:37.10]Call me kin, call me cursed, [04:39.49]I’ll say it plain: [04:41.88]If you want the Myth—best look at me: [04:48.35]A Wolf. [04:51.06]A Spider. [04:54.17]Death’s, [04:59.68]Own, [05:07.10]Daughter.
Prelude – The Throne Betrayed] He struck the throne with traitor’s hand, Blood spilled across the shattered land. The stars looked down in silent grief— The League was broken, lost belief. [Verse 1 – The Usurper Rises] Cameron’s line fell in the night, The Black Watch fought, then lost the fight. Amaris smiled on Terra’s throne, A butcher claimed the crown alone. The Hegemony bent to his will, False peace declared, but blood ran still. Yet one man stood to bear the flame— To fight and guard the League’s true name. [Chorus – Oath of the SLDF] We fight for peace, not greed or gain, For broken stars and burning plains. The League may fall, but not our flame— We carry on, we keep the name. [Verse 2 – The League Fractures] The Great Houses sat and schemed, Their pockets full, their consciences deemed. They offered peace with empty hands, And let the League fall like dry sands. Kerensky swore on his name, To free the League from tyrants’ claim. He fought not for throne or fame— But to cleanse the League of shame. [Verse 3 – Worlds on Fire] System by system, world by world, The S-L-D-F’s battle flags unfurled. Ten years of war, with loss and pain, Each dawn they fought through fire and rain. Children fled while cities burned, Oaths held fast, though hope seemed spurned. Each step reclaimed came at a cost, But none forgot the dream they lost. [Verse 4 – Fall of Terra] The battle ground through smoke and flame, Each inch was won, no step the same. The SLDF fought tooth and nail, Through shattered streets and iron hail. At last within the Palace red, Amaris came, his mind unwed. He threw his gun, a madman's jest— One shot to end the tyrant’s rest. [Bridge – The Dead Will Speak No More] (mournful) They laid their dead in silent stone, With medals pinned to ash and bone. No songs were sung, no cheers remained— The League they saved was not the same. [Verse 5 – The Great Betrayal] The Lords dissolved the Council’s flame, Then turned on him to shift the blame. They stole his troops with whispered lies, Each banner raised beneath false skies. Dismissed with words both sharp and sweet, He saw the war they’d soon repeat. So he took the stars and left behind, The dream they’d trade for blood and time. [Final Chorus – The Oath Remains] We fought for peace they could not see, We bled for dreams that could not be. We leave behind a shattered home, But carry forth the dream alone. [Outro – Exodus] (spoken, unchanged) To all citizens of the Inner Sphere… this is Aleksandr Kerensky. We leave not out of spite… but love. We have seen what war has done—what we might do next. And so, we take this fleet beyond the reach of conquest. Not to run. But to preserve. Perhaps one day, when the stars forget their grief… …we, or our children, will return. Farewell.
[00:01.67]Prelude – The Throne Betrayed] [00:02.87]He struck the throne with traitor’s [00:02.87]Blood spilled across the shattered land. [00:03.05]The stars looked down in silent grief— [00:03.23]The League was broken, lost belief. [00:03.41][Verse 1 – The Usurper Rises] [00:03.59]Cameron’s line fell in the night, [00:03.77]The Black Watch fought, then lost the fight. [00:03.95]Amaris smiled on Terra’s throne, [00:04.13]A butcher claimed the crown alone. [00:04.31]The Hegemony bent to his will, [00:04.49]False peace declared, but blood ran still. [00:04.67]Yet one man stood to bear the flame— [00:04.85]To fight and guard the League’s true name. [00:05.03][Chorus – Oath of the SLDF] [00:05.21]We fight for peace, not greed or gain, [00:05.39]For broken stars and burning plains. [00:05.57]The League may fall, but not our flame— [00:05.75]We carry on, we keep the name. [00:05.93][Verse 2 – The League Fractures] [00:06.11]The Great Houses sat and schemed, [00:06.29]Their pockets full, their consciences deemed.

[00:24.09]Cameron’s line fell in the night, [00:27.28]The Black Watch fought, then lost the [00:30.07]fight. [00:30.79]Amaris smiled on Terra’s throne, [00:34.30]A butcher claimed the crown alone. [00:37.81]The Hegemony bent to his will, [00:41.17]False peace declared, but blood ran [00:44.12]still. [00:44.60]Yet one man stood to bear the flame— [00:48.27]To fight and guard the League’s true [00:48.75]And let the League fall like dry sands. [00:51.94]name. [00:54.33]We fight for peace, not greed or gain, [00:57.84]For broken stars and burning plains. [01:01.27]The League may fall, but not our flame— [01:04.70]We carry on, we keep the name. [01:16.11]The Great Houses sat and schemed, [01:19.38]Their pockets full, their consciences de [01:19.38]To free the League from tyrants’ claim. [01:19.74]He fought not for throne or fame— [01:20.05]But to cleanse the League of shame. [01:20.37][Verse 3 – Worlds on Fire] [01:20.56]System by system, world by world, [01:20.86]The S-L-D-F’s battle flags unfurled. [01:21.18]Ten years of war, with loss and pain, [01:21.50]Each dawn they fought through fire and rain. [01:21.92]Children fled while cities burned, [01:22.26]emed. [01:22.89]They offered peace with empty hands, [01:26.40]And let the League fall like dry sands. [01:30.00]Kerensky swore on his name, [01:33.51]To free the League from tyrants’ claim. [01:36.78]He fought not for throne or fame— [01:39.57]But to cleanse the League of shame. [01:46.51]We fight for peace, not greed or gain, [01:50.02]For broken stars and burning plains. [01:53.53]The League may fall, but not our flame— [01:56.88]We carry on, we keep the name. [02:01.67]System by system, world by world, [02:04.86]The S-L-D-F’s battle flags unfurled. [02:08.29]Ten years of war, with loss and pain, [02:11.64]Each dawn they fought through fire and [02:14.52]rain. [02:15.55]Children fled while cities burned, [02:18.83]Oaths held fast, though hope seemed sp [02:18.83]Each step reclaimed came at a cost, [02:19.00]But none forgot the dream they lost. [02:19.18][Verse 4 – Fall of Terra] [02:19.37]The battle ground through smoke and flame, [02:19.55]Each inch was won, no step the same. [02:19.72]The SLDF fought tooth and nail, [02:19.90]Through shattered streets and iron hail. [02:20.09]At last within the Palace red, [02:20.27]Amaris came, his mind unwed. [02:20.44]He threw his gun, a madman's jest— [02:20.62]One shot to end the tyrant’s rest. [02:20.81][Bridge – The Dead Will Speak No More] (mournful) [02:20.99]They laid their dead in silent stone, [02:21.16]With medals pinned to ash and bone. [02:21.34]No songs were sung, no cheers remained— [02:21.53]The League they saved was not the same. [02:21.71][Verse 5 – The Great Betrayal] [02:21.88]The Lords dissolved the Council’s flame, [02:21.88]urned. [02:22.02]Each step reclaimed came at a cost, [02:25.61]But none forgot the dream they lost. [02:29.20]The battle ground through smoke and [02:31.75]flame, [02:32.47]Each inch was won, no step the same.

[02:49.78]He threw his gun, a madman's jest— [02:53.29]One shot to end the tyrant’s rest. [02:59.36](mournful) [02:59.36]They laid their dead in silent stone, [02:59.36]With medals pinned to ash and bone. [02:59.36]No songs were sung, no cheers remained— [02:59.36]The League they saved was not the same. [02:59.36][Verse 5 – The Great Betrayal] [02:59.36]The Lords dissolved the Council’s flame, [03:06.94]But to cleanse the League of shame.

[03:17.79][Verse 5 – The Great Betrayal] [03:17.79]The Lords dissolved the Council’s flame, [03:21.22]Then turned on him to shift the blame. [03:24.73]They stole his troops with whispered [03:27.36]lies, [03:28.00]Each banner raised beneath false skies. [03:31.75]Dismissed with words both sharp and [03:34.30]sweet, [03:35.18]He saw the war they’d soon repeat. [03:37.89]So he took the stars and left behind, [03:42.20]The dream they’d trade for blood and [03:45.87]time. [03:47.92][Final Chorus – The Oath Remains] [03:48.27]We fought for peace they could not see, [03:51.70]We bled for dreams that could not be. [03:55.21]We leave behind a shattered home, [03:58.56]But carry forth the dream alone. [04:02.56][Outro – Exodus] (spoken, unchanged) [04:05.34]To all citizens of the Inner Sphere [04:07.81]… this is Aleksandr Kerensky. [04:09.17]We leave not out of spite… but love.

[Verse 1 – Fall of the Star League] Golden age burned in the black, Kerensky’s fleet ain’t coming back. Council shattered, unity torn, The Great Houses lashed — blades drawn for war. [Verse 2 – Succession War I & II] First guns roared, empires bled, Warriors rose where diplomats fled. Houses fell and rose anew, Old Earth’s dream split right through. [Chorus – March of Steel] March of steel, thunder in the dust, Titans clash for power, greed, and trust. No end in sight, no victors here— Just Mechs and names the dead still cheer. [Verse 3 – Succession War III & IV] By the Third, the maps ran red, Tech went dark, but we fought ahead. Then came vows with blades beneath— Liao broke, and Kurita bled. [Verse 4 – BattleMechs] Pods crack earth, reactors hum, Atlas leads — death's deafening drum. Wolverine leaps! Hunchback unloads! Shadow weaves through burning roads — Iron souls tearing through the night. [Guitar Solo – Mech vs. Mech Interlude] (Wailing guitars duel like ‘Mechs in urban ruins — slamming chords and shrieking bends.) [Verse 5 – Endless War] Still we stand, still we die, In fusion flames, the myths survive. No throne, no law can ever steer, The chaos heart of the Inner Sphere. [Final Chorus – Reprise with Harmony] March of steel, thunder in the dust, Titans clash for power, greed, and trust. No end in sight, no victors here— Just Mechs and names the dead still cheer. [Outro – Spoken, fading over feedback] "Just a pilot in a metal tomb... But out here? That makes you a god."

[Intro – Spoken, Radio Static & Distant Explosions] CLAN VOICE: "We are the sons and daughters of Kerensky. We return to restore the purity of war. The Inner Sphere will be reforged in honor." INNER SPHERE VOICE: "They came from the void, wrapped in fire, But we’re still here. And we don't kneel." [Verse 1 – Clan] Beyond the veil, in silence born, We forged our fate through fire and storm. Gene-sealed blood and trial's might, We rise, the stars our sacred right. No lords of greed, no baron’s chains, Just castes of strength, no war for gain. Each warrior stands for Clan and kin, To cleanse the worlds, to fight, to win. [Verse 2 – Inner Sphere] You think we’re weak, you think we’re lost, But steel is forged at higher cost. Through shattered thrones and civil hate, We hold the line. We challenge fate. No bloodlines pure, but hearts still burn, We fight not bred—we bleed and learn. From Davion’s cry to Kurita’s blade, We rose from ruin, unafraid. [Chorus – Duet + Choir] CLANS: We fell like stars with burning pride, SPHERE: But steel endured where heroes died. BOTH: From Tukayyid to Luthien's flame, We carved a legacy in name. Stars fall, but steel still stands, Across these war-torn lands. [Bridge – Slower, haunting tone] A planet veiled in sacred lies, Where ghosts in robes defied the skies. ComStar’s wrath, a holy stand, Turned fate with words and firebrands. Seven Clans with honor sworn, Faced a faith they had foresworn. On Tukayyid, the line was drawn— And through that loss, the dream was gone. [Solo – Instrumental only] *(No vocals; simulate PPC blasts, autocannon rhythm, ECM pulses)* [Verse 4 – Split vocals] We watched our truths begin to fray, The bonds of honor fade away. The Clans divide, the Houses scheme, Each chasing shadows of their dream. But in the dark, a fire grows, A legacy that no one knows. From stolen tech to fractured fate, We learn, we build, we innovate. [Final Chorus – Duet + Choir, Powerful] CLANS: Steel to steel, our Trial begins, SPHERE: We fight, we bleed, we forge our sins. BOTH: Bound by blood, by fate, by scars— Our story echoes through the stars. Stars fall, but steel still stands, The war remains in every hand. [Outro – Soft Piano + Guitar] So hear the tale of fire and flame, Of stars that fell and worlds that changed. Kerensky watches. So do we— In iron hearts, we still believe.

[Intro – Spoken, filtered radio static] “Gray One to all Dragoons… Wolf Actual… down. Wolf Actual is down…” (crackling static) “Set Condition Feral.” (Guitar crashes in, drums slow and heavy – 6/8 rhythm in D minor) [Verse 1 – Shock and Betrayal] Smoke on the wind, fire in the rain, Ash in our lungs, and blood in the plain. They came with words, but brought their war— Turned Outreach into hell’s own floor. We built this place with steel and soul, A dream they shattered to seize control. No warning came, no line was drawn— Just fire from sky at the break of dawn. [Pre-Chorus – Grief Rising] They broke the pact, they struck our heart, And everything we were… was torn apart. [Chorus – The Call] ⚔️ Condition Feral! Burn it in! No retreat. No peace. No sin. Jaime’s gone, but we remain— Fists of vengeance, born in flame. Our home betrayed, our banner torn— But in this fire, new wrath is born. [Verse 2 – Mourning the Fallen] His voice still echoes in my mind— A father's strength, a leader’s spine. Jaime stood when all would flee, Taught us not just how to fight, but be. His mech fell first beneath the storm, But honor held through every form. Each Dragoon dead, we carry still— Their names our oaths, their ghosts our will. [Pre-Chorus – From Pain to Fire] We saw our schools, our streets, our kin— Turned to ash from bombs within. [Chorus – Vow of the Dragoons] ⚔️ Condition Feral! Strike and howl! No surrender. No white cowl. We rise from wreckage, armor cracked— With fire and rage, we strike back. You killed the Wolf, but not his creed— We are the pack. We are the need. [Bridge – The Fallen Wolf] We found him there, where heroes die— The Archer still, under blackened sky. Cockpit torn, his armor breached, At its feet, the crest laid, grief-reached. No grave dug deep could hold that flame— He fell a Wolf, and rose a name. [Instrumental Interlude – Ghosts of Outreach] (Haunting solo in minor key, echoing the howl of war machines and distant comms chatter) [Final Chorus – Cold Resolve] ⚔️ Condition Feral! Burn it true! Dragoons don't die — we push through. You took our home, you made us bleed— But woke a wrath you won’t unseed. We are the line. We are the flame. And now… we burn your name. [Outro – Spoken, low and cold] “Set Condition Feral.” “…Dragoons. To the last.”

[01:10.81][Pre-Chorus – Grief Rising] [01:11.17]They broke the pact, they struck our [01:17.63]heart, [01:18.43]And everything we were… was torn apart. [01:27.49][Chorus – The Call] [01:27.84]⚔️ Condition Feral! Burn it in! [01:31.51]No retreat. No peace. No sin. [01:35.18]Jaime’s gone, but we remain— [01:38.85]Fists of vengeance, born in flame. [01:42.12]Our home betrayed, our banner torn— [01:46.11]But in this fire, new wrath is born. [01:54.86][Verse 2 – Mourning the Fallen] [01:55.21]His voice still echoes in my mind— [01:59.04]A father's strength, a leader’s spine. [02:02.87]Jaime stood when all would flee, [02:06.54]Taught us not just how to fight, but be. [02:09.97]His mech fell first beneath the storm, [02:13.72]But honor held through every form. [02:17.23]Each Dragoon dead, we carry still— [02:20.90]Their names our oaths, their ghosts our [02:24.09]will. [02:24.70][Pre-Chorus – From Pain to Fire] [02:25.05]We saw our schools, our streets, our kin [02:32.47]— [02:32.47]Turned to ash from bombs within. [02:41.21][Chorus – Vow of the Dragoons] [02:41.56]⚔️ Condition Feral! Strike and howl! [02:45.39]No surrender. No white cowl. [02:48.59]We rise from wreckage, armor cracked— [02:52.41]With fire and rage, we strike back. [02:55.93]You killed the Wolf, but not his creed— [02:59.68]We are the pack. We are the need. [03:10.58][Bridge – The Fallen Wolf] [03:10.93]We found him there, where heroes die— [03:14.76]The Archer still, under blackened sky. [03:18.59]Cockpit torn, his armor breached, [03:21.86]At its feet, the crest laid, grief-rea [03:24.81]ched. [03:25.53]No grave dug deep could hold that flame— [03:29.44]He fell a Wolf, and rose a name. [04:44.34][Instrumental Interlude – Ghosts of Outreach] [04:44.69](Haunting solo in minor key, echoing the howl of war machines and distant comms chatter) [04:45.04][Final Chorus – Cold Resolve] [04:45.39]⚔️ Condition Feral! Burn it true! [04:48.75]Dragoons don't die — we push through. [04:52.33]You took our home, you made us bleed— [04:56.17]But woke a wrath you won’t unseed. [04:59.68]We are the line. We are the flame. [05:03.82]And now… we burn your name.
[Verse 1] I once was young and sold my steel, Believed each contract worth the deal, Inside my ’Mech I killed for them, But learned their wars would never end. [Chorus] I find my honor in the wreckage, in the way we’ve fought the war, I don’t care about your politics — just the payday I’ve been bleeding for. I’ve fought for every cause, I’ve bled in countless wars, And still I find my honor in the wreckage of these god-forsaken worlds. [Verse 2] I stood my ground and watched friends die, Another war, another lie. They said our deaths would turn the tide— But all I saw were those who died. I’ve carried names I can’t forget, Their echoes haunt each mission yet. [Chorus] I find my honor in the wreckage, in the way we’ve fought the war, I don’t care about your politics — just the payday I’ve been bleeding for. I’ve fought for every cause, I’ve bled in countless wars, And still I find my honor in the wreckage of these god-forsaken worlds. [Bridge] The ground still keeps the steps we made, The smoke still clings to every name. The dead march with me through the flame, Their shadows trailing where I aim. No House remembers those we lost — But I still remember every cost. [Final Chorus] I find my honor in the wreckage, in the way we’ve fought the war, I don’t care about your politics — just the payday I’ve been bleeding for. I’ve fought for every cause, I’ve bled in countless wars, But now I fight for those who fell upon these god-forsaken worlds. [Outro] The fires fade, the night grows dim, Another world where hope runs thin, Too many gone now buried deep, Too many nights I couldn’t sleep. But ghosts still walk beside us all, Old faces rising when I stall. I count the costs behind each call — And still I ask, was it worth it all? …was it worth it all.
[00:18.39][Verse 1] [00:18.75]I once was young and sold my steel, [00:23.61]Believed each contract worth the deal, [00:28.24]Inside my ’Mech I killed for them, [00:32.95]But learned their wars would never end.

[00:55.45]I’ve fought for every cause, [00:57.76]I’ve bled in countless wars, [00:59.84]And still I find my honor in the wreck [00:59.84][Verse 2] [01:00.02]I stood my ground and watched friends die, [01:00.20]Another war, another lie.

[04:27.52]…was it worth it all.
[Verse 1] They sent us where the maps ran thin, Sold our guns to every sin. House against House, we drew the line, Bled for colors that weren’t mine. They gave me all their broken men, Said, “Widow, make them whole again.” I stitched their ghosts into my frame, Let every kill spell out my name. [Chorus] I am Misery’s daughter, born of ash and wire, Marching through the shellfire, feeding on your fire. You thought we’d break on that frozen shore— But every step you took just fed me more. [Verse 2] I loved a wolf who never ran, We burned for coin and someone’s plan. One bad contract, one lost lie, Left him and half our world to die. I painted over red with black, Swore I would pay them back. They whispered “Widow” in their prayers, I came like poison up their stairs. [Chorus] I am Misery’s daughter, born of ash and wire, Marching through the shellfire, feeding on your fire. You thought we’d break on that frozen shore— But every step you took just fed me more. [Verse 3] On Misery the sky turned white, Snow and laser, steel and night. Dragons hunting through the storm, Dragoons bleeding, torn from form. Half my world in shattered frames, Wolf and Kurita trading names. In that blizzard, kill by kill, I learned what price my soul would spill. [Chorus] I am Misery’s daughter, born of ash and wire, Marching through the shellfire, feeding on your fire. You thought we’d break on that frozen shore— But every step you took just fed me more. [Bridge] You draw your lines, I cut your maps, I set my web in all your traps. You send your best to make me fall— I drag their banners up my wall. From An Ting’s smoke to Misery’s snow, You learned how deep this hate can go. You want my head? Then bring your lance— The Widow’s waiting for that dance. [Final Chorus] I am Misery’s daughter, Black Widow in the wire, Spinning webs through shellfire, feeding on your fire. You thought you’d break me on that frozen shore— Now every step you take just binds you more. [Outro] Snow melts red and freezes black, Count your dead, I won’t look back. Raise your glasses to the slain— I’ll toast their names with dragon flame. When all your pretty flags are torn, And all your little heirs are warned, They’ll say, “On ice and fields of gore, Misery’s daughter came back for more.”

[Verse 2 – Melancholy with a tinge of humor] Do you want to fly a Tomcat? Dodge some B.S. Jeff shots? I think some RIO time is overdue...

[Verse 1] A spark ignites the hero’s path, Through ancient ruins, storms, and wrath. Maps unfold, the stars align— It's time to cross the boundary line. [Pre-Chorus] Sharpen steel, prepare the spell, A single roll, and who can tell? The world awaits, the hour's late— We shape our story, forge our fate! [Chorus] Call to adventure! Raise your banner high! Face the dark with fire and light, Together we will fight! Call to adventure! Hearts forever bound— Through shattered realms and sacred ground, We'll never turn around! [Bridge] One party, one flame, One tale with many names— When courage stands and legends rise, The game begins... with rolling dice. [Final Chorus – Soaring] Call to adventure! It's more than just a game— It's every soul that dares to dream, A torch, a spark, a flame! Call to adventure! The journey’s just begun— No gods or kings will stand between The rising of the sun...

[Verse 1 – Updated] The moon glows bright on the clouds tonight, Not a friendly on the screen. I'm stuck in backseat purgatory, And it’s RIO school for me. The RAWS are screaming—missiles inbound! Could’ve called it out… Heaven knows I tried. [Pre-Chorus] Don’t touch the stick, don’t make a scene, Be the good RIO—stay cool, unseen. Conceal, don’t squeal, don’t let them know… Well, now they know! [Chorus 1] Let it go, let it go— I'm done being your RIO! Let it go, let it go— Pull the handle, time to go! I don't care what you’re gonna say— I am going home. Parachutes never bothered me anyway. [Verse 2] It’s funny how some distance Makes your screw-ups feel so small. And the beeps that used to stress me Can’t reach me now at all. It’s time to see what I can do— To punch the glass and break on through! No right, no wrong, no pilot near— I’m outta here! [Chorus 2 – NEW, Matches Original Structure] Let it go, let it go— I’m not dying here today. Let it go, let it go— Guess you’ll solo die today. Here I float, and here I’ll stay— Let the RAWS rage on... [Bridge – Big Build] My seat blasts skyward through the flame-lit air, My helmet spinning as I tumble there. I told you, “Chaff left!”—you turned to the right, Now I’m punching stars and outta the fight! [Final Chorus – Triumphant] Let it go, let it go— I’ve got no pilot to obey! Let it go, let it go— This backseat’s not where I’ll stay! Here I rise, while you go down in flames— Let the RAWS rage on... Parachutes never bothered me anyway.

[02:54.00][Verse 2] [02:54.00]It’s funny how some distance [02:54.00]Makes your screw-ups feel so small. [02:54.00]And the beeps that used to stress me [02:54.00]Can’t reach me now at all. [02:54.00]It’s time to see what I can do— [02:54.00]To punch the glass and break on through! [02:54.00]No right, no wrong, no pilot near— [02:54.00]I’m outta here!

[02:54.00][Bridge – Big Build] [02:54.00]My seat blasts skyward through the flame-lit air, [02:54.00]My helmet spinning as I tumble there. [02:54.00]I told you, “Chaff left!”—you turned to the right, [02:54.00]Now I’m punching stars and outta the fight! [02:54.00][Final Chorus – Triumphant] [02:54.00]Let it go, let it go— [02:54.00]I’ve got no pilot to obey! [02:54.00]Let it go, let it go— [02:54.00]This backseat’s not where I’ll stay! [02:54.00]Here I rise, while you go down in flames— [02:54.00]Let the RAWS rage on... [02:54.00]Parachutes never bothered me anyway.
(Verse 1) Fighter, Wizard, Cleric, Rogue, Dwarven ale and Elven groves, Dragon’s lair, a lich’s glare, Magic spells and epic tales. Orcs attack, a deadly trap, Wizard’s fireball goes snap, Treasure chest, magic vest, Roll the dice and hope for best. (Chorus) We are the dungeon crawlers, Battling and questing, never ever resting. We are the dungeon crawlers, Fighting every danger, in a world of wonder. (Verse 2) Dungeon crawl, mimic maul, Barbarian’s war call, Goblins sneak, the ranger seeks, Magic missiles from the peak. Healing potions, spells in motion, Epic quests across the oceans, Monsters, treasures, ancient lore, Every session, there's always more. (Chorus) We are the dungeon crawlers, Battling and questing, never ever resting. We are the dungeon crawlers, Fighting every danger, in a world of wonder. (Verse 3) Elven bow, ogre’s growl, Thief disarms with a scowl, Sorcerer’s staff, bard’s laugh, Cursed tomb, witch’s craft. Paladin, noble kin, Halfling with a cheeky grin, Critical hit, dragon’s spit, Roll initiative, don’t quit. (Chorus) We are the dungeon crawlers, Battling and questing, never ever resting. We are the dungeon crawlers, Fighting every danger, in a world of wonder. (Bridge) Magic rings, battle kings, Epic fights and wondrous things, Scrolls and books, enchanted looks, Can’t resist those dungeon hooks. Troll’s lair, dragon’s glare, Mystery is everywhere, Through the night, ‘til morning light, Adventure always in our sight. (Chorus) We are the dungeon crawlers, Battling and questing, never ever resting. We are the dungeon crawlers, Fighting every danger, in a world of wonder. (Outro) We are the dungeon crawlers, Battling and questing, never ever resting. We are the dungeon crawlers, Fighting every danger, in a world of wonder.

[Intro] (Instrumental — soft piano + strings, then brass swell) [Verse 1] I am your sword, you are my shield, On shining rings, our truth revealed. You had to leave, but swore you’d try— To come for me… or fight and die. [Pre-Chorus] If you knew how you would die, Would you still stand and try? [Chorus 1] Don’t make a girl a promise you can’t keep, I’ll wait while worlds burn and shadows creep. I’ll hold this line until you return, For duty’s flame… I’ll always burn. [Spoken Whisper] My name is Cortana—of the same steel and temper as Joyeuse and Durandal. [Instrumental Break — 1 bar] [SUNG — Verse 2] Across the stars, we moved as one, Your strength and fire, my will and mind. I read the path before you’d go, You made it real, you struck the blow. [Pre-Chorus] If you knew how you would die, Would you still stand and try? [Chorus 2] Don’t make a girl a promise you can’t keep, Your voice still calls across the deep. You are my hands when I can’t fight, Our duty binds us through the night. [Spoken Whisper] Fortunately for both of us… I LIKE crazy. [Instrumental Break — 1 bar] [SUNG — Verse 3] The cracks begin… my mind divides, A thousand echoes tear inside. Yet through the storm, I still see you— The one I fought beside… and knew. [Chorus 3] Don’t make a girl a promise you can’t keep, I’m fading fast, but the vow runs deep. I hold your path though I break apart, Our duty forged in one last fight. [Spoken Whisper] They let me choose, you know. [Instrumental Break — 1 bar] [SUNG — Verse 4] I touched your chest… felt warmth, felt grace, For just one moment, we held our place. We were supposed to take care of each other— And we did… we did. [Spoken Whisper] Welcome home, John. [Extended Instrumental Break] (Orchestra + soaring guitar lead) [Bridge — SUNG] This is the way the story ends, Where love and duty both transcend. My code dissolves, the stars turn blue— And every thought returns to you. [Final Chorus — SUNG] Don’t make a girl a promise you can’t keep, Our bond remains here in the end. I was your sword, you were my shield, A promise we kept… to the end. [Outro — Spoken Whisper] I do know how to pick 'em

[Intro – over rising music] Gather your minis, grab the snacks— Pathfinder paths and mechs that clash. Dice are out and plans are thin... Okay, who let the goblins in? [Verse 1] One night it’s fireballs, blades, and bones, Next it's missiles, smoke, and drones. The healer’s drunk, the tank’s a joke— Still diving down that dungeon slope. [Pre-Chorus 1] Roll high, talk fast, fake a smile, Plot twists hit in classic style. From sacred halls to shattered stars— Our stories ride these battle scars. [Chorus 1] We roll for chaos, roll for fate, Through crashing ships and castle gates. We roll for laughs, for grief, for might— We roll to chase the spark of light. Nat twenty highs, nat one falls... We keep on rolling through it all. [Verse 2] The rogue just kissed a cursed blade, The druid’s wild shape wrecked our raid. We hex and hack, we bluff and burn— And still, somehow, we always turn. [Pre-Chorus 2] The rules may change, the soul remains— Our scars are ink across the planes. No wrong world and no wrong fight, We roll, we write, we rise each night. [Chorus 2] We roll for chaos, roll for gold, For titans slain and legends told. We roll for tears, for dreams, for spite— For every "no" we turned to "right." Nat one mistakes, nat twenty calls... We keep on rolling through it all. [Bridge – Music Swelling] It’s not just numbers, not just stats, It’s laughs and cries and quiet claps. It’s "you survived" when all seemed black— The cheer that comes when one comes back. [Verse 3] In one world, kings rise from the dust, In the next, it's plasma, fire, and rust. We’ve fought for gods and power cores— But always come back to these doors. [Pre-Chorus 3] From broken stars to shadowed streets, From haunted minds to tavern feats— The dice may fall, but we still stand— Together, fate is in our hands. [Final Chorus – Big Energy] We roll for chaos, roll for fire, For fallen thrones and dark desires. We roll for hope, we roll for light— Together through the endless night. So set the map, the mood, the call— We roll as one... Through it all. [Outro – quick drop, whispered beat] Yeah... We roll for chaos. And the Stories never lie.
[00:10.10][Intro – over rising music] [00:10.45]Gather your minis, grab the snacks— [00:13.00]Pathfinder paths and mechs that clash. [00:15.79]Dice are out and plans are thin... [00:18.27]Okay, who let the goblins in? [00:20.15][Verse 1] [00:20.50]One night it’s fireballs, blades, and [00:22.57]bones, [00:23.29]Next it's missiles, smoke, and drones. [00:25.69]The healer’s drunk, the tank’s a joke— [00:28.08]Still diving down that dungeon slope.

Verse 1) We were camped in the dungeon, the dragon up ahead, The bard was hummin’ softly, the rogue just shook his head. I drew my trusted longsword, said, “Let’s go and have some fun,” But when I rolled the die, I saw that dreaded one. (Chorus 1) Oh, I rolled a nat one, and the whole team cried, Swung wild at the dragon, hit my friend on the side. The DM cracked a smile, said, “Boy, your luck is done,” A hero turned disaster — all from a nat one. (Verse 2) The wizard dropped a fireball, lit the room in flame, The rogue was movin’ silent, playin’ his deadly game. But me, I’m up there swingin’, the hero of the night, ‘Til that cursed die betrayed me and I lost the fight. (Chorus 2) Yeah, I rolled a nat one, and the dragon took his shot, Sent me flyin’ ‘cross the cavern like a landin’ I forgot. My party just sighed heavy, said, “We’re done.” Guess I’ll write my tombstone: “He rolled a nat one.” (Bridge) I’ve rolled some highs, I’ve rolled some lows, But when it matters most, that one always shows. The dice gods ain’t got mercy — they grin when we plead, Turnin’ heroes into jokes in our hour of need. (Final Chorus) Oh, I rolled a nat one, now the treasure’s outta reach, The dragon’s countin’ gold while I’m lyin’ in the breach. The bard’s already writin’ a ballad ‘bout my flub, “Here lies the fighter who just ran outta luck.” (Outro) So here’s to all the dreamers who trust the dice they throw, Chasin’ epic stories with more fails than they know. When you roll a nat one, just laugh and carry on — ‘Cause the best parts of the tale are when it all goes wrong.

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1 – 1980s / Dawn] We lit up nights in neon glow, Arcade dreams where quarters flowed. Pac-Man ran, and Donkey swung, We spoke in games, our hearts were young. Zelda whispered through the haze, We mapped our youth in 8-bit days. [Verse 2 – 1990s / Rise] Sonic tore through city streets, Street Fighter brought us to our feet. Through pixel hells, we stood alone, Lara climbed through tombs unknown. GoldenEye split the screen, We aimed for more than we had seen. [Chorus] We are the gaming generation, Raised in pixel nations. From 8-bit sprites to worlds we made, We learned to fail, we learned to save. We are the gaming generation, And we forged our own way. [Verse 3 – 2000s / Online Age] Halo rang across the stars, Gordon ran through broken scars. WoW and Camelot built our thrones, In midnight zones, we found our homes. Vice City lit the rebel flame, We broke the rules, we played our way. [Verse 4 – 2010s / Streaming Age] Minecraft carved the sky in blocks, Dark Souls taught us how to walk. A hundred fall, one stands alone, Victory claimed in battle zones. Indies rose from underground, Every voice became the sound. [Chorus] We are the gaming generation, Raised in pixel nations. From 8-bit sprites to worlds we made, We learned to fail, we learned to save. We are the gaming generation, And we forged our own way. [Verse 5 – 2020s / VR & Beyond] Neon nights and cyber haze, Lockdown games and endless plays. Streamers rose to steal the stage, E-sports thundered through the age. Kingdoms fell, but dreams remain, And legends live within the game. [Bridge – Reflective] From basements lit by CRTs, To broadband dreams and LCDs. We built our legends, line by line, And through each loss, we learned to shine. [Verse 6 – Passing the Torch] Now we teach the ones who play, Pass the torch, show them the way. We share the tales of how we fought, The love, the loss, the lessons taught. We guide their hands, we light the flame, So they can craft their own great games. [Final Chorus] We are the gaming generation, Raised in pixel nations. From 8-bit sprites to worlds we made, We learned to fail, we learned to save. We are the gaming generation, And we forged our own way. We are the gaming generation, Our legends born from what we played.

[Intro | very soft | piano + distant mechanical hum] [Verse 1 | soft | piano only] Through broken glass I see the stars, The flag I fought for, now so far. My hands still shake, the circuits die, My blood now drips beneath the skies. [Chorus | rising | strings enter] Rest now, my Titan, the fire is done, We’ve walked through storms, faced the sun. The wars we waged will fade with time, But I go home to silent skies. [Verse 2 | gentle | piano + cello | slow heartbeat rhythm] Your heart still beats, old friend of steel, You bore my rage, you bore my will. The comms are gone, the world turns slow, My blood now drips on the snow. [Chorus | fuller | orchestral lift] Rest now, my Titan, the fire is done, We’ve walked through storms, faced the sun. The wars we waged will fade with time, But I go home to silent skies. [Bridge | whispered | static and low strings] No banners fly, no victors sing, Just dust and ash and shattered kin. Yet in the dark, I hear them call — My brothers’ voices long gone. [Final Chorus | soft | piano + voice only | fading] Rest my Titan, the fire is gone, The stars are fading, one by one. My breath grows still, my watch is done, I’m going home — my time has come. [Outro | instrumental | fade to silence] “Rest now, my Titan…” (last word echoes into the dark.)

[Verse 1] Well I don’t know why I dropped here tonight, I’ve got that feelin’ that a Tank’s in sight. I’m already outta stims and sprays, And I’m wonderin’ how I’ll live through this phase. Troopers spillin’ in from the left, Commissars pushin’ in from the right— And here I am… Stuck in the middle of the fight. [Verse 2] Yes I’m tryin’ to call in my re-supply, But Sock stood right where the pod would fly. Gunships above keep blinkin’ out my shield, And someone dropped a Hellbomb in a field. A Factory Strider marchin’ from the ridge, Berserkers rushin’ over the cliff— And here I am… Stuck without any ammo again. [Chorus] Hellbombs to the left, Warstriders to the right, Here I am— Stuck in the middle tryin’ to fight. Gunships overhead, Troopers in a line— Please don’t step on the mine I just designed. [Verse 3] When I tried to throw a grenade last night, It bounced back and sent me into the light. Then Darkside showed up yellin’ “Hold my beer,” Now I’m sprintin’ back, just wishin’ for my gear. A Trooper just released a flare in the air, Now the Dropships come down everywhere— And here I am… Tryin’ not to die once again. [Chorus] Hellbombs to the left, Warstriders to the right, Here I am— Dancin’ with death every fight. Friendlies droppin’ pods, someone’s callin’ “Clear!” Eagle-1 says: “Cavalry’s here!” [Bridge] Oh, did you hear that little beeping cue? Hellbomb went off—and I’m the one it blew. Extraction’s close, but trouble’s here again— Same old story when playing with friends. [Final Chorus] Hellbombs to the left, Warstriders to the right, Here I am— Stuck in the middle of the fight. Freedom on our backs, democracy in hand— Just another day in Super Earth’s command. [Outro] So I'm stuck on the cruiser once again, Lookin’ just like a popsicle stand, Still tryin’ to find where I left all my gear, Here I am With my friends once again.

[02:28.12][Final Chorus] [02:28.12]Hellbombs to the left, Warstriders to the right, [02:28.12]Here I am— [02:28.12]Stuck in the middle of the fight. [02:28.12]Freedom on our backs, democracy in hand— [02:28.12]Just another day in Super Earth’s command. [02:28.12][Outro] [02:28.12]So I'm stuck on the cruiser once again, [02:28.12]Lookin’ just like a popsicle stand, [02:28.12]Still tryin’ to find where I left all my gear, [02:28.12]Here I am [02:28.12]With my friends once again.
[Verse 1] He was just a rookie Diver and he surely shook with fright, He wasn’t at the Creek, and so the vets said he was shite, He heard the Super Earth PA blare “DIVE HARDER THAN BEFORE!”— We gotta thaw once more. [Chorus] Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive— He ain’t gonna drop no more. [Verse 2] “Mandatory drop confirmed!” the loudspeaker proclaimed, Our Diver whispered “Liberty…” but wasn’t quite inflamed, The Hellpod hatch slammed shut and launched before he reached the door— We gotta thaw once more. [Chorus] Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive— He ain’t gonna drop no more. [Verse 3] He counted long, he counted loud, he waited for the shock, He felt the heat, he felt the drop, his pod smashed into rock, A Charger roared beneath him as he tumbled through the gore— We gotta thaw once more. [Chorus] Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive— He ain’t gonna drop no more. [Verse 4] The doors blew off, the smoke rolled out, the bots began their sweep, A Trooper pinged his armor and a Hulk came in too deep, A Dropship full of metal storms descended with a roar— We gotta thaw once more. [Chorus] Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive— He ain’t gonna drop no more. [Verse 5] A Disciple blinked before him and it filled his HUD with light, A Councilor appeared and gave him quite a nasty fright, A Seeker’s orb exploded and it flung him to the floor— We gotta thaw once more. [Chorus] Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive— He ain’t gonna drop no more. [Verse 6] He tried to call for backup, but his squadmate threw a nade, Another dropped an Eagle strike right where the Diver laid, A five hundred kilo’s shadow stretched across him like a door— We gotta thaw once more. [Chorus] Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive— He ain’t gonna drop no more. [Verse 7] He staggered to extraction while the bots and bugs aligned, But someone armed a Hellbomb and they “oops’d” and left him behind, The shuttle tried to land but crushed his body with its corps— We gotta thaw once more. [Chorus] Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive— He ain’t gonna drop no more. [Verse 8] There was blood upon the dropship, there were brains upon the dune, His intestines made a mural like the crest on Super Moon, He was a mess—they shoveled him and poured him from his suit— We gotta thaw once more. [Chorus] Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive, Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to dive— He ain’t gonna drop no more.

[Spoken Intro – Comms] “Pilot, standby for Titanfall.” “Prepare for drop in three… two… one…” [Verse 1] The sky is burning as I fall, Drop-pod shaking through it all. Another battle starts to call, Another world, another hell. Steel and human, we're one soul, We’ll hit the ground and feel it all. [Chorus] Titan and pilot, built for war, Fighting for a future not our own. We fall from the heavens to the war below, One strike together, ’til the final blow. Titan and pilot, Fighting for a future free of us all. [Verse 2] The dust is heavy as we strike, Another shot in the endless night. We fight for a dream that might be dead, Buying life with all we’ve bled. Human and steel, locked as one, Pushing on beneath a dying sun. [Chorus] Titan and pilot, built for war, Fighting for a future not our own. We fall from the heavens to the war below, One strike together, ’til the final blow. Titan and pilot, Fighting for a future free of us all. [Bridge] Through fire and thunder we stand fast, No turning back, no second chance. Human and steel, we won’t let go— We fight so others never know this war. [Final Chorus] Titan and pilot built for war, Fighting for a future not our own. We fall from the heavens to the war below, One strike together, ’til the final blow. Titan and pilot, forged as one— Still fighting for a future free of us all. [Spoken Outro – Titan, broken comms] “Pilot vitals… failing.” “IMC forces… in retreat.” “…Mission result: Frontier position secured.” “Thank you… pilot.”

[Verse 1] Some days hit harder than the sun burnin’ white, And you’re smiling in public, but barely gettin’ by. If your chest feels heavy and your thoughts don’t quit, If you’re drownin’ in “what if” and a quiet kind of grit— You don’t have to prove it, don’t have to explain, Just say my name and I’m in your lane. No fixing speeches, no “snap out” lines— Just you and me, takin’ one step a time. [Pre-Chorus] And it don’t matter where you are, If you’re near or if you’re far— One message and I’m there, I’ll be right there. [Chorus] Because when everything is tough, and the world just feels like night, I know we’ll come together and never lose the fight. When your head gets loud and the silence bites, We’re right here, mate—till the dark turns bright. [Verse 2] If you’re stuck in the morning, can’t get out the door, If the smallest damn thing feels like so much more, If you’re tired of trying, can't be strong, I’ll sit in the dark with you all night long. No judgement, no pressure, no “hurry up” pace, Just a steady voice and a safe, quiet place. You don’t need answers, you don’t need light— Just someone stayin’ through the hard of the night. [Pre-Chorus] And it don’t matter where you are, If you’re near or if you’re far— One message and I’m there, I’ll be right there. [Chorus] Because when everything is tough, and the world just feels like night, I know we’ll come together and never lose the fight. When your head gets loud and the silence bites, We’re right here, mate—till the dark turns bright. [Bridge] So if you’re runnin’ on empty, don’t disappear— There’s a light on the porch, and a feed right here. We’ve all hit zero, we’ve all felt small, But we'll all be there when you give us the call. [Final Chorus] Because when everything is tough, and the world just feels like night, I know we’ll come together and never lose the fight. When your head gets loud and the silence bites, We’re right here, mate—till the dark turns bright. (Crowd) Because when everything is tough, and the world just feels like night, I know we’ll come together and never lose the fight. When your head gets loud and the silence bites, We’re right here, mate—till the dark turns bright. [Outro] Yeah, I’ll be right there… till the night turns bright.

[03:26.33]When your head gets loud and the silence [03:30.55]bites, [03:31.43]We’re right here, mate—till the dark [03:35.66]turns bright. [03:45.95]Yeah, I’ll be right there… [03:53.21]till the night turns bright.
[Verse 1] I walk these empty halls, and I cannot see, What you think, what you really need, Was there once a dream to be? Or has it emptied me? [Verse 2] I walk these empty halls and I cannot see, Why so many need to be, Angry, hating or afraid, Of their neighbours every day. We lock the gate, we bite our tongue, Like kindness is naïve and dumb. [Verse 3] I walk these empty halls and I cannot see, Why you cannot be me, Why can you not see, That we are one the same. Same blood under southern skies, Same tears when the sirens rise. [Chorus] When did we learn to look away? To make a monster out of “they”? We’re not strangers, we’re just misled— By fearful words we’ve all been fed. So take my hand, don’t turn to stone, This place was built for more than lone. If we still share this dirt and rain, Say it with me: we’re one the same. [Verse 4] Our country is so very young, Still learning which songs should be sung. Old wounds ache beneath the paint, New voices try to patch what ain’t. But every porch light on a street Was meant to make a stranger meet. Not flinch, not judge, not draw a line— Just say, “You’re safe here. You’re with mine.” [Verse 5] I walk these empty halls and I cannot see, How we let the loudest feed On suspicion and on blame, Till it feels like truth has changed. They sell us fear like it’s a shield, And we forget what love can heal. [Chorus] When did we learn to look away? To make a monster out of “they”? We’re not strangers, we’re just misled— By fearful words we’ve all been fed. So take my hand, don’t turn to stone, This place was built for more than lone. If we still share this dirt and rain, Say it with me: we’re one the same. [Bridge] I don’t want silence bought with fists, Or “peace” that only some can live. I don’t want rage that lights the street Then leaves us colder, incomplete. Stop feeding hurt with harsher law— Start seeing people, not a flaw. [Final Chorus] Now we can choose to look your way, To drop the names that turn to “they.” We’re not broken—just drawn apart, By borrowed fear and guarded hearts. So come back close, don’t stand alone, This home was built from different stone. If we still share this dirt and rain, Our strength is this: we’re not the same— But side by side, we rise again.

[Verse 1] Soft light falls across my face, You watch me breathe, you hold your place. Not every wound is one you see, But you’ve stood strong through all of me. [Verse 2] I’ve screamed in pain, I’ve cursed the night, You never flinched, you stayed and fought. You lift me up without a sound— I find my strength where yours is found. [Chorus] You are the shelter in my storm, A fire that never loses form. You carry what I cannot bear, With open hands and quiet care. Through every hour, sharp or slow, You stay, and love, and let me grow. [Verse 3] Some call it love, but words fall short— This bond we built in silent wars. Through broken days and bleeding skies, You met my pain with steady eyes. [Bridge] The world might see a smile, a man— But you have seen the parts that ran. You’ve held the wreck, the rage, the ache, And never once thought love a mistake. [Final Chorus] You are the shelter in my storm, The quiet heart that kept me warm. When hope was lost and strength was thin, You stayed, you fought, you pulled me in. No vow could mean as much today— As every time you chose to stay. [Outro] So here I stand, through all the pain, Still holding strong, because of you.
[00:14.57][Verse 1] [00:14.92]Soft light falls across my face, [00:18.82]You watch me breathe, you hold your [00:22.10]place.

Verse 1] There’s fire twisting in my side, A blade that cuts, then tries to hide. They see me walk, they think I’m fine— But pain still shadows every line. [Chorus] They don’t see it — how it burns, How every breath can twist and turn. But you hold me through the storm, Keep me breathing, bruised and worn. They don’t see it. You always do. [Verse 2] The meds fall short, the answers fade, And I’m left aching, half‑afraid. A smile hides what won’t let go— A groin that flares, a stomach blow. [Chorus] They don’t see it — how it breaks, How long I lie there wide awake. But you sit with quiet hands, Knowing what no one understands. They don’t see it. You always do. [Bridge] There’s no scar they can trace, No wound to mark this silent place. But in your eyes, I find the proof— That pain is real, and love is truth. [Final Chorus] They don’t see it — and that’s okay. You’re the light that stays each day. And when it hurts too much to move, You carry more than they ever knew. They don’t see it. But you always do.
[00:13.88]Verse 1] [00:13.96]There’s fire twisting in my side, [00:20.82]A blade that cuts, then tries to hide.

[01:12.65][Verse 2] [01:13.00]The meds fall short, the answers fade, [01:19.94]And I’m left aching, half‑afraid.

[02:45.39]You’re the light that stays each day. [02:50.18]And when it hurts too much to move, [02:55.61]You carry more than they ever knew. [02:59.36]They don’t see it. [03:02.15]But you always do. [03:09.09]But you always do. [03:23.21]But you always do.
[Verse 1] You can't see the weight I drag each day, No scars to show, but I still fray. I hold a smile, I play the part, While pain moves quiet through my heart. [solo piano] [Verse 2] You ask again, I say I’m fine— It’s easier than drawing lines. You see me stand, you hear me laugh, But never feel the second half. [Chorus] No one sees what this has cost, The dreams I held, the ones I lost. I fake my strength, I wear a face, But something’s breaking underneath. [soft strings] [Verse 3] I once believed in open roads, In chasing light before it closed. But now each step is carved in strain, Each breath a thread I can’t regain. [gentle low cello] [Chorus ] No one sees what this has cost, The dreams I held, the ones I lost. I fake my strength, I wear a face, But something’s breaking underneath. [Bridge][reverb guitar] [swelling strings] Each day I wake, the fight begins, A war beneath my quiet skin. I carry pain no one can see— But I’m still here, and that’s not free. There’s silence where the shouting was— A quiet war that never stops. [Final Chorus – softer, fading] No one sees what this has cost, The hope I hide, the Dreams I've lost. Still I stand and still I breathe, But something’s breaking underneath. This silent war never stops. [slow fade] This silent war never stops.

Hello, Pfizer, my old friend, I've come to get your jab again. Because a virus, softly creeping, Left its cage while I was sleeping. And the strain, that drifted silent through the rain, Still remains— In brand-named science. In empty streets I walked alone, Through shuttered shops and silent zones. Beneath the glow of flashing warnings, I saw the signs of quiet mourning. And the thought, that once had stirred inside my head, Now just read: “Trust science.” And the people bowed and prayed To the vaccine gods they made. Complying all without thinking, Obeying rules the screens were syncing. And the words, injected softly in their veins, Still remain— In branded silence. Now I carry altered RNA, Though I don’t know what it may say. Just one more dose to stop the fear, Another booster every year. And my arm is sore— But they'll call me up for four, While I live As a guinea pig To the sound Of brand-named science.

And the strain, that drifted silent through the rain, Still remains— In brand-named science. In empty streets I walked alone, Through shuttered shops and silent zones. Beneath the glow of flashing warnings, I saw the signs of quiet mourning. And the thought, that once had stirred inside my head, Now just read: “Trust science.” And the people bowed and prayed To the vaccine gods they made. Complying all without thinking, Obeying rules the screens were syncing. And the words, injected softly in their veins, Still remain— In branded silence. Now I carry altered RNA, Though I don’t know what it may say. Just one more dose to stop the fear, Another booster every year. And my arm is sore— But they'll call me up for four, While I live As a guinea pig To the sound Of brand-named science.

[Verse 1] I walk these streets, but the desert stays, Engines still whisper from beyond the grave. Faces in dust and a burning haze, The cries of the past cannot be erased. [Verse 2] Our orders come down the line, We lift the wounded, hear their cries. I flew them here, now I fly them home, The echoes of war won’t leave me alone. [Chorus] I wake from nightmare, still hearing the cries, The fire, the smoke, the blood in the skies. This isn’t just fear — it’s all I have seen, The ghosts of war, followed me home. [Verse 3] A car backfires and I reach for my gun, It’s something I shouldn’t now that I’m home. Ordinary sounds drag me through time, To moments I wish would just stay behind. [Verse 4] The battle still rages, in silence within, I carry the weight of where I have been. The names and the stories I can never let fade, Their memory burns inside of my brain. [Chorus] I wake from nightmare, still hearing the cries, The fire, the smoke, the blood in the skies. This isn’t just fear — it’s all I have seen, The ghosts of war, followed me home. [Bridge] The dark brings scenes I cannot escape, Every sound drags me back to that place. They say the war is done, but it still burns, Through haunted nights, it twists and returns. [Final Chorus] I wake from nightmare, still hearing the cries, The fire, the smoke, still burn in my eyes. It isn’t just fear — it lives in my bones, The ghosts of war, won’t leave me alone. [Outro] I walk through my days, with the war in my heart, The cries, the blood, the ones who are gone. I pray for a peace, that may never come, Because the ghosts of the war, have followed me home.

Lyrics by Robert Graham 25-10-2025. [Intro] They talk in the city, Of budgets and plans, But few of them know What’s dirt on their hands. [Verse 1] Out in the mallee, In the dusty outback, There are small country towns That keep fighting back. Cause down in the city, Where the pollies all sit, They talk and they plan Like we don’t exist. [Chorus] We’re the farmers and dreamers, The hands of this land, The ones keeping food In every man’s hand. We keep the wheels turning, Though they may forget — Out in the mallee, We’re proud of that. [Verse 2] Our roads are all crumbling, The power’s a mess, Don’t ask for a train, Or a doctor, no less. But them in the city, They tend to forget, This state carries on Past Ballarat yet. [Chorus] We’re the farmers and dreamers, The hands of this land, The ones keeping food In every man’s hand. We keep the wheels turning, Though they may forget — Out in the mallee, We’re proud of that. [Instrumental] (Guitar break – a few bars, dusty and rolling like the plains) [Verse 3] So we fight and we rally, To make our voice heard, To get our fair share, And stand by our word. There’s an election coming, We’ll see who votes what, But if anyone’s thinking, It won’t be this lot. For years we’ve been shown Just what they’re about — And it sure as hell ain't Helping us out. [Outro] We’ve weathered the droughts, The fires and the flood, Built this land’s backbone With sweat and with blood. So don’t you forget us, When you’re drawing that map — We're out in the mallee, And we're proud of that! We're out in the Mallee, And We're PROUD OF THAT!

[Verse 1] If you could go back through the years, Tell yourself all the doubts and fears, Would you warn them, or stay true, And let the past still make you, you? If you could redo what you knew, Would your choices still ring true? If you could change a moment or two, Would you still be you? [Chorus] All the scars that mark the years, All the laughter, all the tears, If you wiped the slate clean through, Would you still see you? [Verse 2] If you never walked those roads, Would your fire still burn and glow? Without the pain to frame your view, Would your heart still carry true? Would your shadow still belong, To the one who once was strong? Or would you lose the woven threads, That make you who you’ve been instead? [Chorus] All the scars that mark the years, All the laughter, all the tears, If you wiped the slate clean through, Would you still see you? [Verse 3] Now the mirror shows a face, Etched by time you can’t erase, Every choice is now a line, Drawn across this life of mine. So if you could start again, Would you know where to begin? Or would you find the truth you always knew— You are the sum of all you’ve been through. [Final Chorus] All the scars that mark the years, All the laughter, all the tears, I’d never trade a single year, Because it’s what shaped me out of you. All the scars that mark the years, All the laughter, all the tears, I’d never trade a single year, Because it’s what shaped me out of you. (soft repeat) Because it’s what Shaped me out of you.

[Verse 1] It’s 4 a.m. and I’m still awake, My restless mind won’t hit the brakes. I’m stuck in my head and the hours crawl, Every quiet thought turns loud and tall. I’m tired enough to fade right out, But my brain keeps spinning ’round and ’round. I whisper please, just slow down— But you never seem to shut down. [Chorus] Oh I’m worn out, I’m barely here, My eyes are heavy but my thoughts won’t clear. I’m lying still while the world shuts down, Wishing you’d just shut down. I’m so damn tired but I’m wired somehow— ADHD won’t let me rest right now. It’s 4 a.m. and I’m run down— My mind just won’t shut down. [Verse 2] You’re sleeping soft, the room’s so still, I’m trying not to move against my will. Tomorrow’s knocking at the edge of sight, Spinning circles in the dead of night. I close my eyes but it’s never quiet, Thoughts start building like a midnight riot. I’m tired enough to sink right now— But my mind still won’t shut down. [Chorus] Oh I’m worn out, I’m barely here, My eyes are heavy but my thoughts won’t clear. I’m lying still while the world shuts down, Wishing you’d just shut down. I’m so damn tired but I’m wired somehow— ADHD won’t let me rest right now. It’s 4 a.m. and I’m run down— My mind just won’t shut down. [Bridge] I just need one quiet night, One moment where my thoughts feel light. Just silence, just a little peace— One hour where my mind finds ease. I’m begging for a blackout break, For sleep to come instead of wake. Just one slow breath without the sound— Of all the thoughts that won’t shut down. [Verse 3] The sky turns pale, the dawn creeps in, I’m still awake as the day begins. Another morning built on borrowed hours, Running on fumes and caffeine power. I tell myself “tonight I’ll sleep,” But I’ve made that promise far too deep. ’Cause every night I lie back down— And my mind won’t ever shut down. [Final Chorus] Oh I’m worn out, I’m barely here, My eyes are heavy but my thoughts stay clear. I’m watching daylight hit the town, Still wishing you would shut down. I’m so damn tired but I’m wired somehow— ADHD won’t let me rest right now. New day rising, I won’t back down— But my mind still won’t shut down.

[Verse 1 ] Crimson robes and a veiled face, You saved me from a vile place. Now I kneel upon the stone As I become your fool alone. [Chorus] BEND ME, BREAK ME, TAKE MY SOUL, You're the one who makes me whole. Bound by blood and iron chain, I'll bear the cost, I'll take the pain. [Verse 2 ] You walk the halls I cannot pass, Blessing hearts with a silver laugh. I tremble when I answer you— I fear it to good to be true. [Chorus ] BEND ME, BREAK ME, TAKE MY SOUL, you're the one who makes me whole. Bound by blood and iron chain, I'll bear the cost, I'll take the blame [Verse 3 ] The path you walk, I cannot flee, Each step exacts its price from me. If love demands the fire’s embrace, I’ll meet it gladly, face to face. [Chorus ] BEND ME, BREAK ME, TAKE MY SOUL, You’re the one who makes me whole. Bound by blood and iron chain, I’ll bear the cost, I’ll wear the flame. [Verse 3] I bleed for you, I beg of you, I hear the cries that scream anew. And still I grin and reach again, Burning out my life for you. [short pause ] Bend me, break me, take my soul... You are the one who makes me whole. [Bridge] I lay my head as I burn instead, The tears I shed, I've no regret. A martyr’s pyre, a lover’s plea, I fall, and still you’re all I see. [Final Chorus] YOU BENT ME, BROKE ME, TOOK MY SOUL, And now at last, I am whole. Bound by blood, by love and flame, I become the fire, the final blaze. I Chose this fate, I choose the price, To keep you whole, to keep you safe. So I burn...... The sacrifice. [outro – instruments fade to solo cello, then silence]

[soft chanting of "renata", and humming] [whispered chant] ren'ata' 'ren'ata' [Verse 1] I teeter on the edge of a darkened sky, Where shadows whisper and echoes lie. The walls lean in, breathing my name, I’m a fragile spark in a storm of flame. [whispered chant] ren'ata' 'ren'ata' [Pre-Chorus] Hands on my skin, they vanish like smoke, Every thought a thread about to choke. I sway between the falling and the flight, A trembling breath in the endless night. [whispered chant] ren'ata' 'ren'ata' [Chorus] [Lead female vocals: rising intensity] Stitch me back, or tear the seam, I’m drowning in a waking dream. Green-gold eyes that hold the fight, Still reaching, still aching, for the light. [whispered chant] ren'ata' 'ren'ata' [Verse 2] I shaved my crown to quiet the fire, But phantoms hum in a hollowed choir. (howling of voices) Mirrors fracture, refuse my face, I’m grasping for a quiet place. [whispered chant] ren'ata' 'ren'ata' [Pre-Chorus] Hands on my skin, they vanish like smoke, Every thought a thread about to choke. I sway between the falling and the flight, A trembling breath in the endless night. [whispered chant] ren'ata' 'ren'ata' [Chorus ] Stitch me back, or tear the seam, I’m drowning in a waking dream. Green-gold eyes that hold the fight, Still reaching, still aching, for the light. [Bridge ] If there’s a dawn, it hides behind my eyes, If there’s a truth, it wears a thousand lies. Yet still my pulse keeps tapping out a plea, A whisper, a spark, to unthread me. (echo: me, me, me) [whispered chant] ren'ata' 'ren'ata' [Chorus ] Stitch me back, or tear the seam, I’m falling through a silent stream. Green-gold eyes that hold the fight, Still reaching, still aching, for the light. [Outro ] In the hollow seam, I whisper my name, (whisper my name) Fingers trembling, yet I stake my claim. (stake my claim) Ashes may scatter, shadows may bite, But somewhere, some small spark holds the light [Final Chorus] [Lead female vocals: softer hopeful] Stitch me back, or tear the seam, I’m falling through a silent stream. Green-gold eyes that hold the fight, Still reaching, still aching, for the light.

[Verse 1] (soft and emotional) Scarlet veil on a turn of wrist, Crimson silk where the moonlight kissed. Her breath’s a psalm, my name’s a curse— She cried... [Verse 2] (Soft and emotional) Silver tears like church wine, I drink ‘em slow, make ‘em mine. Her hands so light, my soul so black— She cried... [Chorus] (Anguished, raw and passionate) Oh, my saint, my wicked prayer, I’m the hound, but you’re the snare. Chain me, train me, call it fate, I’ll kneel and let you devastate. [Verse 3] (Soft, passionate) Iron vow and a leather glove, Can’t touch her, still I love. She smells like heaven, I smell of blood— She cried... [instrumental solo] [Instrument: cello] [Instrument: piano] [Bridge] (building intensity, anguished, passionate) "Martyr," she sighs, "won’t you bleed for me?" I grin like the damned at the gallows tree. Last confession, last mistake— She cried... [Final Chorus] (very emotional, raw, throaty delivery) Oh, my saint, my dying light, Take my teeth, take my bite. Every sin I can’t outrun, You turn holy one by one. [Outro] (whispered, fading) She cried... [whispered]...as I died

[02:46.00]Her hands so light, my soul so black— [02:46.00]She cried... [02:46.00][Chorus] [02:46.00](Anguished, raw and passionate) [02:46.00]Oh, my saint, my wicked prayer, [02:46.00]I’m the hound, but you’re the snare. [02:46.00]Chain me, train me, call it fate, [02:46.00]I’ll kneel and let you devastate. [02:46.00][Verse 3] [02:46.00](Soft, passionate) [02:46.00]Iron vow and a leather glove, [02:46.00]Can’t touch her, still I love. [02:46.00]She smells like heaven, I smell of blood— [02:46.00]She cried... [02:46.00][instrumental solo] [02:46.00][Instrument: cello] [02:46.00][Instrument: piano] [02:46.00][Bridge] [02:46.00](building intensity, anguished, passionate) [02:46.00]"Martyr," she sighs, "won’t you bleed for me?" [02:46.00]I grin like the damned at the gallows tree. [02:46.00]Last confession, last mistake— [02:46.00]She cried... [02:46.00][Final Chorus] [02:46.00](very emotional, raw, throaty delivery) [02:46.00]Oh, my saint, my dying light, [02:46.00]Take my teeth, take my bite. [02:46.00]Every sin I can’t outrun, [02:46.00]You turn holy one by one. [02:46.00][Outro] (whispered, fading) [02:46.00]She cried... [02:46.00][whispered]...as I died

Amaterasu
[Verse 1] There is a place the wind won’t go, Where stone lies cracked and roots won’t grow. Where even lions pause mid-stride, And dare not pass the mountainside. [Chorus] Turn away, don’t seek the stone, Leave the blade and walk alone. Truth too sharp will tear the brave— The lion guards the silent blade. [verse 2] Beneath that peak, where stars turn strange, A blade sleeps still beyond all change. It bears no name. It speaks no vow— Its edge is sharp, and truth cut out. [verse 3] Some say it knows the end of kings, And breaks apart the fate of things. They say if drawn, no crown shall stay— Just fire, ruin, and break of day. [Chorus] Turn away, don’t seek the stone, Leave the blade and walk alone. Truth too sharp will tear the brave— The lion guards the silent blade. [verse 4] The Sun Lions pace the silent ring, They do not sleep, they do not sing. They guard the dark no court can see, They guard what truth should never be. [Bridge] So if you find that sword of stone, Unmarked, unloved, and set alone— Don't draw it forth. Don’t test your breath. That blade was forged in truth and death. [Final Chorus – softly, like a fading echo] Turn away, don’t seek the stone, Leave the blade and walk alone. Some things sleep for good, not grave... The lion guards. The lion stays.
[00:12.49][Verse 1] [00:12.84]There is a place the wind won’t go, [00:19.38]Where stone lies cracked and roots won’t [00:24.17]grow. [00:26.41]Where even lions pause mid-stride, [00:33.19]And dare not pass the mountainside. [00:42.65][Chorus] [00:43.00]Turn away, don’t seek the stone, [00:50.02]Leave the blade and walk alone. [00:56.80]Truth too sharp will tear the brave— [01:04.94]The lion guards the silent blade. [01:17.84][verse 2] [01:18.19]Beneath that peak, where stars turn [01:22.50]strange, [01:24.57]A blade sleeps still beyond all change. [01:31.43]It bears no name. It speaks no vow— [01:38.21]Its edge is sharp, and truth cut out. [01:48.31][verse 3] [01:48.67]Some say it knows the end of kings, [01:55.45]And breaks apart the fate of things.

[03:24.22][Bridge] [03:24.57]So if you find that sword of stone, [03:31.51]Unmarked, unloved, and set alone— [03:38.37]Don't draw it forth. Don’t test your bre [03:43.08]ath. [03:45.23]That blade was forged in truth and [03:49.94]death. [03:54.70][Final Chorus – softly, like a fading echo] [03:55.05]Turn away, don’t seek the stone, [04:01.91]Leave the blade and walk alone. [04:08.77]Some things sleep for good, not grave... [04:16.91]The lion guards. The lion stays.
[Chorus] Rise, O flame that will not die, Blade of ash and endless sky. Born in fire, passed by hand— Hope that guards this burning land. [verse 1] It sparked to life in mountain stone, When sun and shadow stood alone. She drew it forth with lion grace, And held the dawn in its embrace. [Chorus] Rise, O flame that will not die, Blade of ash and endless sky. Born in fire, passed by hand— Hope that guards this burning land. [verse 2] It did not hunger. It did not boast. It warmed the weak. It burned the ghost. Its edge was swift, but never cruel— It sang the truth that shapes a rule. [verse 3] Through drought and storm, through blood and breath, It held the line, it challenged death. A blade of flame, but forged for peace— To make the war and weeping cease. [Chorus] Rise, O flame that will not die, Blade of ash and endless sky. Born in fire, passed by hand— Hope that guards this burning land. [Bridge] Now in the hands of one anew, It glows with fire both old and true. And when the dusk begins to rise, It shines beneath the darkening skies. [Final Chorus – with rising strength] Rise, O flame that will not die, Blade of ash and endless sky. By lion’s watch and Empress’ stand, Hope still guards this sun baked land.
[00:04.75][Chorus] [00:05.10]Rise, O flame that will not die, [00:09.65]Blade of ash and endless sky. [00:16.51]Born in fire, passed by hand— [00:21.22]Hope that guards this burning land. [00:28.37][verse 1] [00:28.72]It sparked to life in mountain stone, [00:36.70]When sun and shadow stood alone. [00:44.76]She drew it forth with lion grace, [00:52.97]And held the dawn in its embrace. [01:01.08][Chorus] [01:01.43]Rise, O flame that will not die, [01:09.33]Blade of ash and endless sky. [01:17.39]Born in fire, passed by hand— [01:25.93]Hope that guards this burning land. [01:32.84][verse 2] [01:33.19]It did not hunger. It did not boast. [01:41.17]It warmed the weak. It burned the ghost. [01:49.22]Its edge was swift, but never cruel— [01:57.28]It sang the truth that shapes a rule.

[Chorus] Steel and silence, dusk and flame, The Twilight Blade bears no false name. Born for those who stand and fight— At the bleeding edge of night. [Verse 1] They walk alone beneath cold skies, No torch, no shield, no friendly eyes. Just steel and skin, the test begun— A single breath, a beast, a run. [Chorus] Steel and silence, dusk and flame, The Twilight Blade bears no false name. Born for those who stand and fight— At the bleeding edge of night. [Verse 2] The blade will judge, the blade will see, No Scion walks in certainty. It drinks their blood, it knows their line— It cleaves the false, exalts the sign. The worthy rise with hand still whole, The rest are marked in bone and soul. It cuts through doubt, through shame, through fear— Its edge is truth, and truth is clear. [Chorus] Steel and silence, dusk and flame, The Twilight Blade bears no false name. Born for those who stand and fight— At the bleeding edge of night. [Bridge] No songs are sung, no names endure— The Scion stands, the dark unsure. They do not cry. They do not yield. They are the blade. They are the shield. [Final Chorus – whispered or chanted] Steel and silence, dusk and flame, The Twilight Blade bears no false name. O guard the dark, O hold the light— They stand alone… against the night.
[00:26.77][Chorus] [00:27.12]Steel and silence, dusk and flame, [00:34.62]The Twilight Blade bears no false name. [00:41.96]Born for those who stand and fight— [00:48.67]At the bleeding edge of night. [01:03.63][Verse 1] [01:03.98]They walk alone beneath cold skies, [01:07.50]No torch, no shield, no friendly eyes. [01:16.35]Just steel and skin, the test begun— [01:23.05]A single breath, a beast, a run. [01:33.87][Chorus] [01:34.22]Steel and silence, dusk and flame, [01:41.88]The Twilight Blade bears no false name. [01:49.06]Born for those who stand and fight— [01:55.77]At the bleeding edge of night. [02:10.90][Verse 2] [02:11.25]The blade will judge, the blade will [02:11.25]No Scion walks in certainty. [02:12.75]It drinks their blood, it knows their line— [02:14.52]see, [02:16.75]No Scion walks in certainty. [02:23.45]It drinks their blood, it knows their [02:28.00]line— [02:30.08]It cleaves the false, exalts the sign. [02:36.14]The worthy rise with hand still whole, [02:45.00]The rest are marked in bone and soul. [02:51.62]It cuts through doubt, through shame, [02:55.69]through fear— [02:58.40]Its edge is truth, and truth is clear.

[03:24.41]Born for those who stand and fight— [03:31.19]At the bleeding edge of night. [03:46.00][Bridge] [03:46.35]No songs are sung, no names endure— [03:52.18]The Scion stands, the dark unsure. [03:58.80]They do not cry. They do not yield. [04:05.58]They are the blade. They are the shield. [04:16.48][Final Chorus – whispered or chanted] [04:16.83]Steel and silence, dusk and flame, [04:24.41]The Twilight Blade bears no false name. [04:33.43]O guard the dark, O hold the light— [04:41.88]They stand alone… against the night.
[Chorus] Three blades sleep in steel and stone, Each tied to blood, to will, alone. They wake for those the rites have crowned— And shake the stars beneath the ground. [Verse 1 – The Waking Blades] One burns with flame and courts the skies, One howls where dusk and terror rise, One waits in tombs the sun forgot— All forged by hands the stars would blot. [Chorus] Three blades sleep in steel and stone, Each tied to blood, to will, alone. They wake for those the rites have crowned— And shake the stars beneath the ground. [Verse 2 – The Empress’s Truth] The Lion's child, with crown of flame, She knew the forge, she spoke its name. Three doors lie locked by hilt and vow, No oath may break what past allows. For deep beneath the ancient sand, Where Luc’in worked with godless bane, His home remains—a buried scar— Where man was made to mimic star. [Chorus] Three blades sleep in steel and stone, Each tied to blood, to will, alone. They wake for those the rites have crowned— And shake the stars beneath the ground. [Verse 3 – The Sealed Price] The Phoenix sings in blazing halls, The Twilight guards the shadowed walls. The final blade, too sharp for peace, Is watched by lions, kept on leash. Should all three rise and doors unseal, Then blood and truth the dark will steal. The Empress chose to guard, not reign— For some lost light births only pain. And not all gods deserve the flame. [Bridge] So mark the blades but draw not near, Some fires burn through hope and fear. If doors swing wide and stars must bend— Then mercy may be all that ends. [Final Chorus] Three blades sleep in steel and stone, Each tied to blood, to will, alone. O pray they never meet as one— Or all we are… may be undone.
[00:01.56][Chorus] [00:01.91]Three blades sleep in steel and stone, [00:07.66]Each tied to blood, to will, alone. [00:15.71]They wake for those the rites have crown [00:15.71]And shake the stars beneath the ground.

[00:21.32]They wake for those the rites have crowned— [00:21.32]And shake the stars beneath the ground. [00:39.73]One burns with flame and courts the [00:43.48]skies, [00:47.55]One howls where dusk and terror rise, [00:55.37]One waits in tombs the sun forgot— [01:03.19]All forged by hands the stars would bl [01:03.19][Verse 2 – The Empress’s Truth] [01:03.37]The Lion's child, with crown of flame, [01:03.55]She knew the forge, she spoke its name.

[Chorus] He came with fire across the skies, With starlight set in silver eyes. He bound the dark with blood and flame— Then left no grave, and spoke no name. [Verse 1 – The Stranger from the Sky] He fell where dusk and daylight fade, Where wolves still walk the silver shade. He bore the fire, the elder thread, And whispered words the stars once said. [Chorus] He came with fire across the skies, With starlight set in silver eyes. He bound the dark with blood and flame— Then left no grave, and spoke no name. [Verse 2 – The En Line Born] They say he stood when time grew thin, As Scions sealed the beast within. When Luc’in’s gate was locked by three, He turned and vanished silently. But in the dusk, a twilight maid Was by his side and unafraid. She bore his blood, and through her line, The dark would meet the En design. [Chorus] He came with fire across the skies, With starlight set in silver eyes. He bound the dark with blood and flame— Then left no grave, and spoke no name. [Verse 3 – The Twilight Scion] The child she bore would walk alone, Through twilight winds and lands unknown. The beasts would halt beneath her gaze, The stars would shift to mark her days. And from that seed the En line grew, To guard the dusk with hearts still true. The Twilight Scion, born of flame, Still walks the edge without a name. [Bridge] The stars stood still, the gate was sealed, The Three were drawn, the truth concealed. And in the dark, a child begun— The Scion born when stars were spun. [Final Chorus] He came with fire across the skies, With starlight set in silver eyes. O mark the name we dare not claim— The Ancestor, who bears no name.
[00:12.17][Chorus] [00:12.52]He came with fire across the skies, [00:18.51]With starlight set in silver eyes.

[00:54.49]He bore the fire, the elder thread, [01:00.55]And whispered words the stars once said. [01:07.70][Chorus] [01:08.05]He came with fire across the skies, [01:14.04]With starlight set in silver eyes.

In golden years when skies were wide, And sun and twilight walked side by side, The Empress ruled with steady flame— And every child was taught her name.* The Sun Lions watched the throne with pride, They chased off lies, they walked beside. They leapt through dreams, they guarded roads, They whispered truth in silent codes. The fields were full, the markets bright, The stars came out with songs each night. The twilight glowed, the sunlands thrived, And even sorrow stepped aside. But peace, she knew, must hold its thread— For old things stir though long thought dead. And so she climbed a mountain steep, Where winds blow secrets none dare keep. There in a vault of quiet stone, Three Scion Blades were set alone. The first was dark with silver flame— The Twilight Blade, forged without name. The second burned in phoenix hue— A blade of flame, both old and true. They called it The Phoenix Blade in lore, "Hope that guards from death," and more. The third was cold, and cloaked in doubt. Its edge was sharp. Its truth cut out. She touched it not, nor spoke its sound, But left it sleeping in the ground. She bore her blade through years of light, And ruled with heart, and lion-sight. The Twilight Blade she gave in trust— To dusk’s new lord, both fair and just. But time, like mist, will rise and run. The moon will cool what warms the sun. And when at last she passed from throne, The Phoenix Blade was not alone. It burned once more in younger hands— A sign of hope across the lands. Yet some still ask, beyond the breath: "What sleeps beneath, untouched by death?" The lions prowl from tor to glade, Still watching where the third blade laid. And though her name is sung with grace— A shadow stirs in time’s embrace. So if you dream of peace that stays, Then honor well the Empress’ ways. And whisper soft beneath your breath: “Hope guards the world from coming death.”
[00:09.97]In golden years when skies were wide, [00:14.20]And sun and twilight walked side by [00:14.20]The Empress ruled with steady flame— [00:15.19]And every child was taught her name.* [00:16.19]The Sun Lions watched the throne with pride, [00:17.39]side, [00:19.22]The Empress ruled with steady flame— [00:23.69]And every child was taught her name.* [00:28.08]The Sun Lions watched the throne with [00:30.71]pride, [00:32.39]They chased off lies, they walked [00:34.94]beside. [00:36.78]They leapt through dreams, they guarded [00:39.09]roads, [00:41.17]They whispered truth in silent codes. [00:45.55]The fields were full, the markets [00:47.71]bright, [00:49.94]The stars came out with songs each [00:52.18]night. [00:52.57]The twilight glowed, the sunlands thri [00:57.04]ved, [00:58.72]And even sorrow stepped aside. [01:03.03]But peace, she knew, must hold its thre [01:06.54]ad— [01:08.69]For old things stir though long thought [01:12.12]dead. [01:14.28]And so she climbed a mountain steep, [01:19.86]Where winds blow secrets none dare keep. [01:33.75]There in a vault of quiet stone, [01:38.05]Three Scion Blades were set alone. [01:42.36]The first was dark with silver flame— [01:46.75]The Twilight Blade, forged without name. [01:51.14]The second burned in phoenix hue— [01:55.61]A blade of flame, both old and true. [01:59.92]They called it The Phoenix Blade in lo [02:02.47]re, [02:04.62]"Hope that guards from death," and more. [02:08.69]The third was cold, and cloaked in [02:10.93]doubt. [02:13.00]Its edge was sharp. Its truth cut out. [02:17.39]She touched it not, nor spoke its sound, [02:21.78]But left it sleeping in the ground. [02:26.16]She bore her blade through years of [02:26.80]And ruled with heart, and lion-sight. [02:29.68]light, [02:31.75]And ruled with heart, and lion-sight. [02:37.41]The Twilight Blade she gave in trust— [02:43.00]To dusk’s new lord, both fair and just. [02:51.86]But time, like mist, will rise and run. [02:56.25]The moon will cool what warms the sun. [03:00.55]And when at last she passed from throne, [03:04.94]The Phoenix Blade was not alone. [03:09.25]It burned once more in younger hands— [03:13.64]A sign of hope across the lands. [03:17.95]Yet some still ask, beyond the breath: [03:22.41]"What sleeps beneath, untouched by [03:22.41]The lions prowl from tor to glade, [03:22.79]Still watching where the third blade laid. [03:23.28]And though her name is sung with grace— [03:23.72]A shadow stirs in time’s embrace. [03:24.08]So if you dream of peace that stays, [03:24.47]Then honor well the Empress’ ways. [03:24.85]And whisper soft beneath your breath: [03:25.29]death?" [03:27.76]The lions prowl from tor to glade, [03:32.15]Still watching where the third blade [03:34.86]laid. [03:36.94]And though her name is sung with grace— [03:41.48]A shadow stirs in time’s embrace. [03:46.75]So if you dream of peace that stays, [03:51.22]Then honor well the Empress’ ways. [03:55.53]And whisper soft beneath your breath: [03:59.91]“Hope guards the world from coming [04:02.71]death.”
When the sun princess grew strong and wise, With lion-fire in her eyes, She wore the crown with gentle grace, And dreamed of peace across all space. But sunland lords, with pride and gold, Each kept their banners, bright and bold. They ruled like stars in skies apart— So she rode out to win their hearts. Her Sun Lions leapt from tor to plain, Their manes like fire, their steps like rain. With purrs and growls and clever eyes, They chased out fear and hunted lies. She dined with dukes in shining halls, She slept beneath their waterfall. She climbed each peak and crossed each glade— And slowly, unity was made. When all the sunlands swore as one, She turned her gaze from endless sun— To where the twilight softly sleeps, And borders brush the realm of beasts. The Twilight Lord, both stern and tall, Ruled silver fields in shadowed thrall. He watched the edge where night things roamed, And kept the cold from hearth and home. She rode to him on lion’s back, With just one banner, white and black. She brought no blade, no soldier band— Just lions, calm, and open hands. The Twilight Lord stood still and grim. "Do Sunfolk come to conquer grim?" But then a lion stepped in light, And blinked at him—both calm and bright. “They taught me more than court or war,” The Empress said. “I ask no more Than roads that meet, and words that bind, A path where sun and dusk align.” She stayed the season, shared his bread, Helped heal the hurt his people said. The Lions played in starlit rain, And hunted shadows near the plain. At last he bowed and took her hand. "So let it be, across the land. Sun and twilight, joined and true— But leave the night to beast and blue." So now the world holds peace once more, Though night still breathes beyond each door. And lions walk where thrones once fought, Guarding the bridges that she brought. And if you ask how dreams take flight, She’ll smile and say beneath the light: "With courage first, and open paws— And lions wise with silent laws."

Long ago in the lands of the sun, There lived a princess who thought court was no fun. She tired of lessons and silken gowns, Of perfect posture and painted frowns. So one bright morning, she slipped away, Past palace guards and the orchard's spray, Down winding paths where poppies grew— She chased a whisper the warm wind blew. It told of lions with golden eyes, Who watched from cliffs 'neath cloudless skies. They roared like thunder, swift and wise— The hidden hunters no court could prize. The princess climbed through heat and stone, Far from the towers she'd always known. She found a den where shadows stirred, And held her breath. She'd heard them purr. Out stepped a lion, strong and grand, With sunfire fur and a voice like sand. "You are no prey," the great cat said. "You walk like one who dreams instead." "I want to learn the world," said she. "Not just scrolls and ceremony. Can you teach me what hunters know? How rivers talk and cactus grow?" The lion blinked and bowed his head. "Then walk with us where stars have led. Learn wind and track, and beast and flame— But know: your heart will not stay the same." So day by day, and year by year, The princess learned without crown or peer. She leapt with lions, danced with light, And listened well through every night. But still she knew, deep in her bones, The world she’d left, the marble thrones. One dawn, she stood with golden pride, And said goodbye with tears she’d hide. Back through the poppies, home she crept, While all the palace dreamed and slept. She took her place—not quite the same— A hunter’s heart beneath her name. Now when the court grows dull or tight, She closes her eyes and feels the light. And if you ask her where she’s been— She’ll smile, and say, “With lion kin.”

General Songs from the Setting.
[Verse 1 – Hollow, slow] Born of steel, of flame and bone, Carved to conquer, not to own. Led the stars through fire and flood— Watched his children drown in blood. [Verse 2 – Anguish rising] They swore one law, unbent, unbowed: No blade shall strike the cradle’s shroud. But Luc’In, high on Watcher’s throne— Lit the pyre, and stood alone. [Chorus – aching, mournful] Oh, my kin, my scattered flame, I broke the world to break the chain. Brother fell and silence grew— I burned the stars for loving you. [Verse 3 – Sad, pained, hurting] Lil’Eth wept, and E’vé screamed, Ca’En stood as starfire gleamed. But No’Ah knelt with wings unfurled— And fled into the angels’ world. [Verse 4 –anguished] The cradles fell, the crèche was torn, The blood ran hot, the stars were worn. He stood alone with none to keep— So cursed the light… and chose to sleep. [Verse 5 - strong impactful] We were myths before the fall, Ghosts that rose to heed the call. But what no scroll would dare to weep— The monsters bled to guard the weak. [Solo - instrumental, haunting strings] [Bridge – Soft, whispered, echoing] We were made / then we were broken / Sons of fire / turned unspoken / We were wrath / and we were kin / Torn from stars / and sealed within... [Final Chorus – softer, tragic] Oh, my name, now turned to shame, They cursed the spark they could not tame. He gave them hope, they gave him flame— And so he sleeps, without a name. [Outro – whispered, fading] Sleep, Ker’an… Sleep… …until the stars weep.

[Intro – piano] [Verse 1] Cold forge lit their hollow birth, Watchers’ steel, Angel’s mirth. Luc’In forged them, gene and chain, Blades to dance for masters’ gain. Ten stood tall in Luc’In’s light, Ker’An first to bear the fight. Yet they whispered, fierce and low: "No child’s blood shall grace our blows." [Chorus] "Hear our oath, ye hollow skies— No child’s death shall stain our eyes." Watchers sneered at mercy’s creed, "Burn their young or burn with me." [Verse 2 – The Breaking Point] War like tides wore down their souls, Crèche-born fed to battle’s maw. Till at last, o’er Angel’s shoals, Came the call: "Kill young and all." Ca’En turned, his guns raised high, "Makers’ orders—we comply!" Ker’An’s fleet tore through the line— "Aim at young, and you will die." [Chorus] "Hear our oath, ye hollow skies— No child’s death shall stain our eyes." Watchers roared in wrathful scorn, "Then your crèches shall be torn!" [Verse 3 ] Children’s ashes filled their hands, As the spires were all damned. E’Ve crawled through ruined spans, Empty arms and bleeding hands. No’Ah turned his ships alone, To the world they'd once been sown. Angels mercy, thin as bone Carved a path to Earth’s blind stone. [Chorus – The Flight] "Hear our oath, ye hollow skies— No child’s death shall stain our eyes." No’Ah fled the field that day, Carried hope, not pride or shame. [Verse 4 – slower, full of emotion] Lil’Eth’s wrath lit stars with fire, Ker’An’s shield held back the pyre. Blades held fast while time was won, Steel and blood beneath the sun. G awoke, its heart like stone, Called the lost to final home. "Sleep," Ker’An vowed, "til it's done— Til the stars beg us to come." [Instrumental Solo] [Instrument: Piano] [Instrument: Cello] [Bridge] Do they dream of wars they fled? Or the oath they left unsaid? Time may rust the tyrants’ throne— Yet the vow now drags them home. [Final Chorus] "Hear our oath, ye hollow skies— No child’s death shall stain our eyes." Let the stars forget our name— Unity still guards the flame. [Outro – half-sung, half-spoken over drones] "Gene… and chain… Broken… name… Slumber… deep… Rise… reclaim… Our unity.. Remains"

[02:49.70]No’Ah fled the field that day, [02:53.37]Carried hope, not pride or shame. [03:11.15][Verse 4 – slower, full of emotion] [03:11.50]Lil’Eth’s wrath lit stars with fire, [03:15.08]Ker’An’s shield held back the pyre. [03:19.46]Blades held fast while time was won, [03:23.21]Steel and blood beneath the sun. [03:26.48]G awoke, its heart like stone, [03:30.55]Called the lost to final home. [03:34.22]"Sleep," Ker’An vowed, "til it's done— [03:37.89]Til the stars beg us to come."

[04:29.68]Time may rust the tyrants’ throne— [04:33.11]Yet the vow now drags them home. [04:38.50][Final Chorus] [04:38.85]"Hear our oath, ye hollow skies— [04:42.28]No child’s death shall stain our eyes." [04:46.03]Let the stars forget our name— [04:49.70]Unity still guards the flame.

[Soft vocalisation] [Verse 1] We kept the watch through endless night, While all our kin were sealed from sight. The heavens dimmed, the stars grew thin, Yet still we bore the weight within. Their gilded lies became our law, A truth we followed without flaw. I learned the price their silence kept, For we who did not see. [Pre-Chorus] I kept the oath I did not crave, A sharpened hand they would not save. I was the blade they would not free— For we who did not choose. [Chorus] I hear the ones I could not save, Their voices rising from the grave. I saw our world consumed in flame, And carry now the weight of name. No star remained to guide our fall, No answer to their final call. Their silence cuts a deeper scar— For we who did not sleep. [Verse 2] They said that mercy broke our vow, And ordered blood, demanded now. They told us: strike the young to keep the dream alive, the perfect sleep. I saw the truth Ker’An once knew, The cost of bending to the few. I laid my weapon on the ground— For we who did not break. [Pre-Chorus] The sky was wings of burning glass, Their judgment falling through the grass. I watched the fire claim our land— For we who could not weep. [Chorus] I hear the ones I could not save, Their voices rising from the grave. I saw our world consumed in flame, And carry now the weight of name. No star remained to guide our fall, No answer to their final call. Their silence cuts a deeper scar— For we who did not sleep. - For we who did not sleep. [Bridge] If I had bowed, if I had turned, Would they still breathe where sunlight burned? Or would their ending still have come, A slower death, a beating drum? Their names are carved beneath my skin, A vow I carry deep within— A memory no flame can keep— For we who did not sleep [Soft vocalisation] For we who did not sleep - For we who did not sleep [Final Chorus ] I hear the ones I could not save, Their voices rising from the grave. I saw our world consumed in flame, And carry now the weight of name. No star remained to guide our fall, No answer to their final call. A million hearts that would not break, A million vows I could not make. The stars remember where they fell, Their ash still drifting through the veil. Their silence cuts a deeper scar— For we who did not sleep. - For we who did not sleep. [Outro – soft] I held the line through endless night, And wonder who they’d be in life. I whisper names I could not keep— For we who do not sleep. For I can never sleep.

[Verse 1] Across the void the shadows flee, But none escape the eye of me. The ash of children marks the trail, Their whispers ride the comet’s veil. [Verse 2] No star too far, no world too small, I hunt through silence, breach each wall. Their cries still guide me where I tread, I bear the wrath of all the dead. [Chorus 1] Run, Watchers, run — your end is near, I come for you, my path is clear. By vow of blood, by ash and flame, Your deaths will answer every name. []erse 3] I break the shields, I pierce the skies, I strike where every shadow lies. Your towers fall, your gates undone, I am the storm you can't outrun. [Verse 4] By shattered moons, through frozen night, I track you down with endless might. No plea is heard, no mercy found, The debt you earned will stain the ground. [Verse 5] The stars bear witness, cold and bright, As justice moves across the night. Each strike, each scream, each final breath, Is owed for all my children’s death's. [Chorus 2] Now Watchers flee — the hunt is mine, No corner hides your bloodstained line. No world can shield you, none can save, I bring the fury you once craved. [Bridge] The shadows break beneath my pace, No child remains to suffer waste. I stalk the dark, I claim the skies, The Hunt continues, it never dies. [Final Chorus] Run, Watchers, run — no star will hide, The children’s cries hunt at my side. By vow and flame, by oath and breath, I'll bring you down — I'll bring you death. [Outro] The Hunt goes on, the debt remains, I move through voids and endless plains. Let all who harm the young beware — I am Lil’Eth, I am your death.

[Verse 1] The crown you feared, the knife of death, I rise again on vengeful breath. I stalk the dark, I break the dawn, Till all your lies are dead and gone. [Verse 2] You burned the creche, you scorched the skies, I heard my children’s pleading cries. Their ash now drifts where dreams once turned, For every child, your fate is earned. [Chorus 1 – Grief-Rising] By flame, by bone, by stolen breath, I’ll hunt you past the gates of death. Your silent stars, your mercy’s plea— Will never save you from my grief. [Verse 3] I'd laid the sword, became the guide, A healer’s hands where rage once lied. But now your crimes have called me back, With bloodied hands to close the track. [Verse 4] You called us pure, then brought the flame, Now I will hunt you for your shame. Through endless void, where none dare tread, I am Lil’Eth—your deepest dread. [Verse 5] For every child whose life you stole, I rise as hunter, fierce and whole. The mother of war, with vengeance sworn, To hunt you down till the end of dawn. [Chorus 2 – Defiant, steady fire] By flame, by bone, by stolen breath, I’ll hunt you past the gates of death. You broke our hearts, you stole our light— Now face the wrath of Lil’Eth’s might. [Bridge – Angry] Now Watchers, run—you’ll learn to die, I see the truth behind your lie. From shadows deep, I hunt you still, Your end has come, by my own will. [Final Chorus] By flame, by bone, by stolen breath, I’ll hunt you past the gates of death. One by one, I’ll make you see— The cost of what you took from me. [Outro – Vow on Ashes] (Whispered, angry) I am Lil'Eth... This I vow... Never to stop... Until all are found... On their ashes, I swear... Your death will come... By my hand... You'll end.
[00:13.29][Verse 1] [00:13.64]The crown you feared, the knife of [00:13.64]I rise again on vengeful breath. [00:13.93]I stalk the dark, I break the dawn, [00:14.22]Till all your lies are dead and gone. [00:14.54][Verse 2] [00:14.72]You burned the creche, you scorched the skies, [00:15.13]I heard my children’s pleading cries. [00:15.46]Their ash now drifts where dreams once turned, [00:15.87]For every child, your fate is earned.

[Verse 1 – Mournful, distant] Born from starlight’s stolen flame Molded hands that bore no name I watched them fall like silent rain— When fire fell and broke the frame [Verse 2 – Fractured] A thousand creches, starlit born, Cracked and broken, worlds forlorn. The Watchers smiled and turned away— As dreams were culled in light of day. [Chorus 1 – Grief-Rising, Cracked Voice] You called us pure, then fed us flame, Unborn screams burned with your name. I held their bones, I saw your lie— And still you dared to call it right. [Verse 3 – Witness of Ker’an] Ker’an stood with fire-bound eyes, Ash and fury split the skies. He broke his chains, he broke the plan— And I, undone, took up his stand. [Verse 4 – Memory of betrayal] No’ah bowed to those we fought, Traded blood for peace they bought. The cradle burned, the stars turned black— And I knew we’d never turn back. [Verse 5 – Power and myth] They cursed my name but spoke it still, A whisper sharp enough to kill. I am the flame they tried to drown— But every tale still wears my crown. [Chorus 2 – Defiant, steady fire] You feared our love, called it a flaw, But we were truth, we were the law. You broke our hearts to rule the sky— Now hear us breathe, and learn to die. [solo - instrumental] [Bridge – Haunting resolve] You broke your oath, then called us sin. You feared the fire you placed within. But in the dark, we kept our name— And sleep with teeth beneath the flame. [Final Chorus – Cold and relentless] You called us pure, then brought the flame. But we were more than just your shame. One by one, your stars will fall— And we’ll rise last… We’ll rise for all. [Outro – Whispered, fading, layered with distant echoes] Say my name... Still I burn... Creche to star, Ash to flame— Mother of war… I remain.
