[Intro]
Athena!
Athena!
Athena!
---
[Verse 1]
I walk alone through halls of gold
Silk and stone, the nights I hold
Whispers follow where I tread
They fear the crown upon my head
I don’t shout, I don’t plead
I plant the root, I grow the seed
They built the war, I made the law
And carved my name into the flaw
---
[Pre-Chorus]
They want fire, I bring the storm
Not out of rage — I was reborn
Every scar a quiet prayer
I speak with silence, I dare you to stare
---
[Chorus]
I’m like Athena — calm and cruel
Not their queen, I bend no rule
Stone and wisdom, blood and grace
I haunt the wind, I leave no trace
You won’t see me draw a blade
But I don’t need to — I persuade
Built from myth, and yet I’m real
I’m like Athena — I never kneel
---
[Verse 2]
I see the cracks before they form
I guard the weak, I ride the storm
Not made of mercy, not of shame
I am the judge without a name
They fear the ones who never scream
Who build their power in a dream
I don’t forgive, I don’t forget
My justice walks with no regret
---
[Pre-Chorus]
I rise in smoke, I breathe in stone
The war they start, I end alone
I’m every silence in the dark
Every woman called “too sharp”
---
[Chorus]
I’m like Athena — bold and still
Cursed with wisdom, blessed with will
I don’t burn, I don’t obey
I turn to gold what breaks away
They made gods to feel control
But I was born to take the scroll
Unseen, unclaimed, and yet I feel
I’m like Athena — I never kneel
---
[Instrumental Break – 8 bars The chorus melody echoes through layered strings and distant war drums. Ethereal synths swell. A lone vocal hum or chant rises faintly, echoing the name “Athena.” It feels ancient and divine — a goddess moment in slow motion.]
Athena!
Athena!
Athena!
---
[Bridge – haunting, poetic]
I wear no armor but my name
I build the world they try to tame
I choose the battle, I write the end
I stand alone and don’t pretend
---
[Final Chorus – stripped then soaring]
I’m like Athena — shadow-bright
Crowned in silence, wrapped in night
You’ll never own what won’t be chained
I walk in ash and feel no pain
No throne, no praise, no gilded deal
I’m like Athena — I never kneel
---
[Outro – whispered, fading]
I never kneel...
I never break...
I rise in truth they couldn't take...
I’m like Athena.
