Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Burned-out pod Crater in the flooded street Smoke in my lungs Static in my teeth Helmet fogged Names scrolling in my sight Alone in this drop Under dying light [Chorus] I am just a rookie in the rain Walking through the glass and the flame Every fallen brother in my veins I carry them I carry them Rookie in the rain Say my name If I never see the dawn again Let my shadow stain this place Till the end of days [Verse 2] Blue flare hiss Dripping off the bunker wall Echo of a hymn Rising from the sprawl Gold in the visor Ghosts in the fractured dome Covenant above But this city is my home [Chorus] I am just a rookie in the rain Walking through the glass and the flame Every fallen brother in my veins I carry them I carry them Rookie in the rain Say my name If I never see the dawn again Let my shadow stain this place Till the end of days [Bridge] [Low chant under solo vocal] Kyrie Have mercy on these streets On these empty seats On the ones we couldn’t keep Ya Ali Hear this quiet cry (oh) Rockets paint the broken sky If my last shot buys their time Take my breath Take my light [Chorus] I am just a rookie in the rain Walking through the glass and the flame Every shattered window knows my pain I carry them I carry them Rookie in the rain Say my name If I never see the dawn again Let this battered armor pray For the human race

Cinematic fusion of Gregorian male choir and sorrowful Qawwali-inspired melismas over a tense string orchestra. Low choirs and drones in the verses, tom-heavy percussive ambience like distant artillery. Chorus blooms with wide strings, subtle frame drum grooves, and call-and-response vocal layers. Emotional arc: from lonely resolve to desperate, storm-lit transcendence., qawwali, vocal, ambient
