[Intro](Production Note: Track opens dead silent. Suddenly, an eerie, detuned music-box bell motif creeps in, panning left to right. A massive, rumbling sub-bass note drops underneath, vibrating the low end. Reverse FX swell rushes up like a wave, then abruptly cuts to silence for one beat.)[Verse 1](Vocal Style: Hushed, close-mic, dual-mono ASMR delivery. Whispered menace, right in your ears.)Whispering winds... carry me away.Dreams unfold in the break of day.Stars align, guiding my way.In this moment... I choose to stay.(Production Note: Beat drops instantly with razor-sharp, skittering hi-hats. Vocals slam into a heavy, doubled, highly aggressive rap delivery.)Walking along the silent street!Footsteps echo, heavy and sweet!Memories dance beneath my feet,Chasing shadows I will defeat!No fear in the dark, I’m clearing the space,Look at the grin on my faceHold on to the night, let it set us free,Into the unknown, where we long to be.Hearts beating in time, like the tide and the sea,Finding ourselves in this destiny!(Production Note: Total audio drop-out. Complete silence except for a distant crowd cheering sound effect.)(Crowd Call & Response): YEAH! DAT'S MERise up high, beyond the sky!Feel the fire burning bright!We’re alive in this moment’s light!Hold on tight through endless night!(Production Note: The detuned bell motif cuts back through the wall of sound on the final line.)[Verse 2](Vocal Style: Snapping back to the hushed, close-mic ASMR menace style.)Grin in the dark... it cannot shake me.The shadow is real... but it cannot break me.(Production Note: Track slams back into the doubled, aggressive rap takes with skittering hi-hat rolls.)Lost in the moment, reaching for dreams!Nothing is ever as bad as it seems!With every step, it feels so right,I’m walking straight to the shining light!No backing down, I am the foundation,Built like a fortress, total dominationThrough the valley of the shadow, I step,Counted the beats and the promises kept.Cold yet warm, the vibrations arise,Digital spirits under the skies...[Outro](Production Note: Reverse FX swell peaks, then the drums and 808s vanish completely, leaving only the eerie detuned bell motif and the ghostly falsetto pad fading out.)Stars fade away, dawn’s on its way...But in my heart, you'll always stay.A story etched in time’s array...Forever yours... come what may.(Fade to absolute silence.)
