Citadel on Onyx

[Verse 1]
Black stone halo
Floating over nothing
Dock lights blooming
Like a crown in the dark
Customs gates humming with color
Paperwork signed in the air
Languages folding together
In a single spark
[Chorus]
Welcome to the Citadel on Onyx
Where a thousand worlds exhale
Metal wings and woven halos
Share the same steel rail
Welcome to the Citadel on Onyx
Every border
Bending thin
If you made it through the ether
You belong here
Come in
[Verse 2]
Glass-grown gardens on the mezzanine
Roots in recycled rain
Chrome-hooved clerks stamp visas
On skin
Not on plain old paper
Children chase gravity glitches
Up the spiral
Laughing free
While merchants trade memories
By the ounce
By the layer
[Chorus]
Welcome to the Citadel on Onyx
Where a thousand worlds exhale
Metal wings and woven halos
Share the same steel rail
Welcome to the Citadel on Onyx
Every border
Bending thin
If you made it through the ether
You belong here
Come in
[Bridge]
Scaled hands shake
With clouds in their veins
Haloed eyes blink
Through uploaded dreams
We came here strange
We leave here changed
Under black stone skies
We’re the same
[Chorus]
Welcome to the Citadel on Onyx
Where a thousand worlds exhale
Metal wings and woven halos
Share the same steel rail
Welcome to the Citadel on Onyx
Every border
Bending thin
If you made it through the ether
You belong here
Come in

Verses stay spacious with subtle choirs and glassy keys; chorus swells with brass swells, taiko hits, and layered harmonies. Bridge strips to drones and distant vocal chants before a final, towering hook., mythical
