Rooftop Sovereign

{steady driving

bass-pulse, distant shimmering synth-chord building to crescendo,

city waking ambiance} The instinct is to flee,

to vanish in the grey To watch the silhouette of you simply

drift away. You consumed the energy,

the nectar of the vein Like a toxin in the atmosphere,

leaving only strain. You stole the radiance,

you pushed me to the deep But the past is a closed

book, a promise I don't keep.

{metallic shimmer on drain,

cold precise delivery} Behold the transformation,

the core you couldn't reach The sovereign fragment,

the lesson I must teach.

This essence is protected,

fortified, and free You’ll never touch the center,

the vital part of me.

Throw your debris, your static,

and your weight You cannot break the spirit,

you cannot change the fate.

{layered harmonies, soaring triumphant belt,

anthemic percussion hits} I disconnect the signal,

I cut the tethered tie Find the authentic circle,

under a wider sky.

The bond was fraudulent,

a tapestry of frayed seams I drowned in the shallow,

but I’ve woken from the dreams.

You can hoard the relics,

the diamonds and the gold They have no intrinsic value,

the lie is finally told.

{rhythmic elevated delivery, rapid vocal chop on

keep everything} I am the combustion.

Je suis l'étincelle. A dancing flame.

Une flamme qui s'élève.

You cannot extinguish this.

{driving distorted synth-bass, pounding drums pull back,

whisper close-mic authoritative} 100% Tiguidou.

The reclamation is complete.

I am the fire.

I am the part

that remains. {final massive synth-explosion fading to single crystalline note,

raw intimate resolution}
