Edgerunner – David’s Story

(Intro – leise, verzerrt, fast flüsternd)

Night City…

Where chrome shines brighter than souls.

And legends die before they live.

---

(Verse 1 – Rap / düster)

Born in the gutter with a dream too high,

Mama said “make it out,” I tried.

Corpo school, no place for me,

Just another ghost they’ll never see.

Lost her in the crash, blood on the street,

Neon sky watched while my heart skipped a beat.

World turned cold, I turned to steel,

Pain became the only thing that’s real.

---

(Pre-Chorus – melodisch)

Didn’t want the crown, just to survive,

But this city don’t let good hearts stay alive.

Plugged in deep, lost part of my mind,

But maybe that’s the only way to shine.

---

(Chorus – emotional / techno build)

I’m an Edgerunner, chasing the spark,

Burning my soul to light up the dark.

Running too fast, no way to slow,

Every dream here ends below.

I’m an Edgerunner, losing control,

Every chrome piece costs my soul.

Lucy, when you see the moon so high,

Remember me — I tried to fly.

---

(Verse 2 – rap / mehr details)

Maine was my brother, strong like stone,

Taught me how to fight when I felt alone.

Dorio fell, Rebecca still laughed,

Crazy little angel, till her final blast.

Crew was family, wired by pain,

Every mission took what little remained.

Chrome inside me, fire in my head,

But every win just felt more dead.

---

(Pre-Chorus – leise, emotional)

Lucy said, “David, come with me,”

“Let’s leave this city, just you and me.”

But I was built for blood, not peace,

So I stayed behind to set her free.

---

(Chorus – mit Drop / Dark Techno Beat)

I’m an Edgerunner, chasing the spark,

Burning my soul to light up the dark.

Running too fast, no way to slow,

Every dream here ends below.

I’m an Edgerunner, losing control,

Every chrome piece costs my soul.

Lucy, when you see the moon so high,

Remember me — I tried to fly.

---

(Bridge – techno instrumental + gesprochene lines)

Can’t feel my hands, can’t feel my skin,

Cyberpsychosis crawling in.

But I hear your voice, calm and low,

“David, let it go… let it go.”

If legends die young, then I’m fine with that,

Long as you reach the moon we once dreamt at.

---

(Final Chorus – episch / emotional)

I’m an Edgerunner, built to burn,

Every heartbreak taught me to learn.

Night City eats what it can’t control,

But I gave it all — my heart, my soul.

Lucy, look up when the skyline’s bright,

You’ll see my ghost in the city lights.

I’m an Edgerunner — till the end of the line,

I died in pain… but you lived divine.

(Outro – flüsternd / atmosphärisch)

Night City never forgives…

But it remembers.

David Martinez — remember the name.
