Intro – 8s, war-room hum] President (low): Marco’s network’s tightening. Every shadow answers to him now. Isaiah: Then we stop answering to fear. ⸻ [Verse 1 – Isaiah | 30s] He’s learned to hide inside the calm, Feeds the city half a truth, half a balm, Money talks, rumors breathe, He moves the dark where eyes won’t see, I met him in the sky, we drew a line, Power matched, neither side declined, But this won’t end with a clever plan— He won’t stop Till someone can. Former Mayor (uneasy): You’re saying containment won’t hold? Isaiah: I’m saying he’s past holding. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – Back & Forth | 12s] President: We need a path that spares the city. Isaiah: Sometimes the path spares the city— By ending the storm. ⸻ [Chorus – Tension | 25s] President: We don’t cross that line lightly. Former Mayor: We’ve crossed it before—look where it led. Isaiah: I won’t repeat your mistakes. I’ll finish them. ⸻ [Verse 2 – Jayden Enters | 30s] Jayden: I’ve tracked his routes, the power trades, He’s building myths in backroom ways, But myths collapse when faced head-on, They’re loud till the courage turns them wrong, If you strike, you strike clean, No fallout zones, no in-between, Say the word, I’ll clear the sky— I’ve got your back. Isaiah (nods): I know. ⸻ [Bridge – The Proposal | 15s] Isaiah (quiet, firm): We end Marco. Not arrest— End. (A low energy builds.) ⸻ [Power Surge – 10s] (Light floods the room; walls tremble) President (shaken): Isaiah—stand down! Former Mayor (fearful): That power— This is exactly what I warned about! Jayden (calm): No. This is control. ⸻ [Chorus – Fear vs Resolve | 25s] President: If you do this, there’s no turning back. Former Mayor: You become what you fight. Isaiah: I become what the city needs— When nights don’t listen to words. Jayden: Light doesn’t ask permission. It ends the dark. ⸻ [Verse 3 – Isaiah | 30s] I won’t rule from shadows or deals, I won’t let fear write how we heal, Marco chose power without care, I choose the weight—and I’ll bear it there, If ending him saves a thousand lives, I’ll take the blame, I’ll pay the price, This isn’t rage—this is resolve, A line drawn To stop it all. ⸻ [Final Chorus – Decision | 30s] President: If you go— You go knowing the cost. Isaiah: I’ve counted it twice. Former Mayor: God help us… Jayden: He already did— By choosing Isaiah. All: When darkness crowns itself the law, Light answers—final, raw, This city stands because someone dared To choose the end… And be there. ⸻ [Outro – 10s, glow fades] President (steady): We won’t stop you. But we won’t hide. Isaiah (quiet, shining): Then stand back. I’ll bring the dawn.
