[Soft acoustic guitar. A lone flame crackling. A voice, reverent:]
"They say she fell from the sky. They say she burned the old world down. They say she walked through fire and came out the other side with stars in her hands and ash on her lips."
[Electric guitar crashes in. Drums thunder.]
"They're right."

[VERSE 1 — CLEAN]
She came from the stars with fire in her blood
A siren's curse, a siren's flood
She burned the sky, she scorched the ground
She was the loudest silence I ever found
They called her hero. They called her saint.
They called her monster when the colors went faint.
But I saw her hands. I saw the glow.
I saw a woman who learned to let go.

[HOOK — SCREAMED]
FIREHAWK! FIREHAWK!
BURN THE SKY, BURN THE LIES!
FIREHAWK! FIREHAWK!
ASH IN HER MOUTH, FIRE IN HER EYES!
---
[VERSE 2 — CLEAN]
She walked into the vault and the vault walked out
She carried the weight of a world in doubt
Every scar on her skin was a story she earned
Every bridge she burned was a lesson she learned
They wanted a goddess. They got a ghost.
They wanted a weapon. They got the most
Beautiful disaster Pandora ever made
A woman who danced in the fire she made
---
[BRIDGE — ATMOSPHERIC]
[Tempo drops. Clean guitar, ethereal vocals.]
"Do you know what it costs to burn that bright? To light the world and know the light will fade? To carry fire in your veins and still feel cold?"
"She knows. She knows."
[Build. Drums begin to pound. Guitars rise.]
---
[BREAKDOWN — HEAVY, CRUSHING]
[Screamed, desperate, powerful]
SHE BURNED FOR US. SHE BURNED ALONE.
SHE TURNED HER SKIN TO STONE.
SHE GAVE THE FLAME. SHE GAVE THE NAME.
FIREHAWK. FIREHAWK. FIREHAWK. FLAME.
[Spoken, low:]
"She didn't want to be a symbol. She wanted to be a person."
[Screamed:]
BUT THE FIRE DOESN'T ASK. THE FIRE DOESN'T CARE.
IT TAKES AND TAKES UNTIL THERE'S NOTHING THERE.
---
[VERSE 3 — CLEAN, FRAGILE]
I saw her once. Standing on the edge of a cliff.
Staring at the horizon like it owed her something.
She didn't turn when I approached.
She just said…
"You ever love something so much you let it destroy you?"
I didn't answer. I couldn't.
She smiled. It didn't reach her eyes.
Then she was gone. Just a scar on the sky.
---
[HOOK FINAL — SCREAMED]
FIREHAWK! FIREHAWK!
BURN THE SKY, BURN THE LIES!
FIREHAWK! FIREHAWK!
ASH IN HER MOUTH, FIRE IN HER EYES!
FIREHAWK! FIREHAWK!
SHE GAVE THE FLAME, SHE GAVE THE NAME!
FIREHAWK! FIREHAWK!
SHE BURNED THE WORLD AND SHE DID THE SAME.
---
[OUTRO]
[Guitars fade. Acoustic returns. A whisper:]
"They say she's still out there. Somewhere. Between the stars and the dust. Between the woman she was and the fire she became."
[Pause. A soft crackle of flame.]
"If you see her… tell her we remember. Tell her we're still burning."
[Flame extinguishes. Silence.]
