INTRO: Wind over a frozen landscape. Distorted radio static. A voice, fractured:]
"White Glint... confirmed. The ghost of Line Ark returns."
[Low synth drone. A heartbeat. Then—the sound of boosters igniting.]

[VERSE 1]
They said I died at Line Ark
Another pilot in the ground
A name erased from mission logs
A wreck that never found
But something doesn't die that easy
When the cause is still alive
They built me from the ashes
And they taught me to survive
I am not the man who fell there
That body turned to dust
I am what they needed
When the living weren't enough
---
[PRE-CHORUS]
Do you remember who I was?
Or only what I became?
A ghost in white paint
A legend without a name
---
[CHORUS]
White Glint cuts through the smoke and flame!
The ghost of Line Ark rising again!
They thought they buried me, left me for dead!
But symbols don't die—they live in the head!
I am the mirror, I am the blade!
The promise that the old world made!
Not a man, not a machine, not a ghost—
I am the line that they couldn't cross!
---
[VERSE 2]
I've seen the NEXTs that burn like stars
The pilots drunk on power
They think because they hold the light
They'll never see the hour
When the light turns on them
When the power starts to fade
When they realize too late
What they sold and what they paid
I carry every pilot
Who fell before the end
Their voices in my circuits
Their courage in my frame
---
[PRE-CHORUS]
Do you remember who we were?
Or only what we lost?
A squadron in the snow
A line we held at any cost
---
[CHORUS]
White Glint cuts through the smoke and flame!
The ghost of Line Ark rising again!
They thought they buried us, left us for dead!
But symbols don't die—they live in the head!
I am the mirror, I am the blade!
The promise that the old world made!
Not a man, not a machine, not a ghost—
I am the line that they couldn't cross!

[BRIDGE: Track pulls back. Just piano and wind. A single voice, vulnerable.]
Joshua O'Brien died at Line Ark
He bought a world with his last breath
I am what came after
I am the answer to his death
He gave everything to save them
And I carry what he gave
Not vengeance, not destruction
Just a world he tried to save
---
[FINAL CHORUS: Full power. The voice becomes layered—Joshua, the pilot, and every fallen Raven speaking together.]
WHITE GLINT CUTS THROUGH THE SMOKE AND FLAME!
THE GHOST OF LINE ARK RISING AGAIN!
THEY THOUGHT THEY BURIED US, LEFT US FOR DEAD!
BUT SYMBOLS DON'T DIE—THEY LIVE IN THE HEAD!
I AM THE MIRROR, I AM THE BLADE!
THE PROMISE THAT THE OLD WORLD MADE!
NOT A MAN, NOT A MACHINE, NOT A GHOST—
I AM THE LINE THAT THEY COULDN'T—
[BOOM — cut.]

[OUTRO: Wind. Radio static. A single transmission, clear and cold:]
"White Glint... engaging."
[Boosters ignite. Silence.]
