I’m A Guardian

(Intro)
(Scratches on a turntable: “Eyes up… Eyes up…”)
(Whispered)
The Traveler’s silent.
The Witness is watching.
We’re just ghosts in the machine.
(Verse 1)
Woke up in the rust with a spark in my chest
No name, no past, just a binary test
The Cosmodrome’s screaming, the Fallen are hungry
I’m a dead man walking with a fist full of lightning!
Tower’s under siege, the Red Legion’s in the sky
Took the Light away and left us all to die
But you can’t kill a god when he’s fueled by the spite
Of a thousand resets in the middle of the night!
(Pre-Chorus)
(Build up with rapid-fire drums)
Click. Boom. Reload.
The cycle never ends!
Click. Boom. Reload.
The Darkness is my friend!
(Chorus)
I’m a Guardian!
Bound to the wheel of the loot and the grind!
I’m a Guardian!
Leaving the pieces of my soul behind!
Pushing through the Veil, jumping through the Gate
I’m a paracausal glitch in the hands of fate!
(Everything for the engram!)
(Verse 2)
(Bass-heavy groove, vocal delivery becomes more rhythmic/rap-style)
Step into the Crucible, Shaxx is in my ear
I can smell the salt and I can taste the fear
Stasis in the veins, Strand in the air
I’m swinging through the Neomuna streets like I don’t care!
Raid after Raid, it’s a six-man chore
Wiping on the boss ‘cause the warlock hit the floor
Check the rolls, check the stats, what’s the meta today?
I’ve sold my entire life to the RNG play!
(Bridge)
(Music cuts to a haunting, melodic synth)
(Spoken/Eerie)
The Witness says there is no more hope.
The Final Shape is coming…
(Explodes into a scream)
BUT I’M NOT DONE YET!
(Heavy breakdown: Chug-chug-chug, screech)
DISMANTLE!
REBORN!
DISMANTLE!
REBORN!
(Chorus)
I’m a Guardian!
Bound to the wheel of the loot and the grind!
I’m a Guardian!
Leaving the pieces of my soul behind!
Pushing through the Veil, jumping through the Gate
I’m a paracausal glitch in the hands of fate!
(Outro)
(Slow, heavy riffing)
Eyes up.
One more run.
One more drop.
Just one more…
(Feedback fades into the sound of a Ghost transmatting out)

Heavy, down-tuned guitar riff starts with a mechanical, industrial chug Metal, Nu-Metal, Male Vocals, Gritty Singing
