[INTRO – CINEMATIC / WHISPERS]
(radio static)
(PKE clicking softly)
(steam hissing)
WHISPER (V.O.)
“Time is breaking…”
GEARS (V.O.)
“Otis… where are you…”
(proton pack powers on)
(Lightstream hum rises)
⸻
[VERSE 1]
Los Angeles shadows under violet skies
Ghosts in the alleys while the city slowly dies
Phoebe hears whispers through the static in her head
Every road she walks reminds her of the dead
Meanwhile far beyond the fractures of the light
Otis walks alone through an endless burning white
Broken worlds collapsing underneath the stream
Caught between reality and somebody else’s dream
Ecto-1 screaming through the Hollywood rain
Steam-powered futures running parallel to pain
Willow calls softly from the darkness below
While Death walks silently through worlds nobody knows
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS]
And the timelines crack…
Like glass beneath our feet
Every echo calling back
From realities that shouldn’t meet
⸻
[CHORUS – HUGE]
We are the last sparks in the dark
Ghosts and machines with broken hearts
From the Lightstream to the West Coast skies
We keep surviving while reality dies
Proton fire lighting up the night
Steam and thunder in a final fight
And if the worlds collide tonight
We’ll hold the line against the light
⸻
[VERSE 2]
Gears walking wounded through the ruins of time
Searching shattered worlds for the fragments left behind
Sable with her cannon and the fire in her eyes
Running from the shadows where forgotten futures hide
Meanwhile Phoebe’s staring at the ancient book again
Hearing voices whispering from places beyond men
Universal backlots hiding portals in the dark
Every haunted memory leaving permanent scars
Otis built a key from folded rays of light
Thinking he could save the world by opening the night
Now the Lightstream’s bleeding into every single plane
And Death keeps feeding off the fractures and the pain
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS]
And the engines scream…
As the dimensions bend
Every ghost and every dream
Racing toward the end
⸻
[CHORUS – BIGGER]
We are the last sparks in the dark
Ghosts and machines with broken hearts
From New Victoria to Hollywood decay
We fight the end of worlds before they fade away
Proton streams and airship skies
Broken timelines unified
And even when the darkness says we’re out of time
We rise again beneath the static and the light
⸻
[BRIDGE – SLOW / EMOTIONAL]
(music drops out)
(soft piano + synth hum)
Phoebe:
“I thought I could control it…”
Otis:
“If this works… we might save everything…”
Gears:
“Or destroy what’s left…”
(heartbeat percussion begins)
Now the whispers crawl through every shattered door
Ghosts and echoes wanting more
And somewhere in the storm of light
The universe begins to tear tonight
⸻
[FINAL CHORUS – FULL CINEMATIC]
We are the Ghostbusters
We are the Lightstream
We are the echoes caught between
Steel and thunder
Ghosts and fire
Fighting through the end of worlds
While reality expires
From the wastelands to the city lights
From the shadows to the stars tonight
Every
