(Intro)
(Sound of a car engine revving on a highway... heavy wind... GPS signal beeping)
(Momo Tenji - Soft, French Accent)
Calculating route...
Origin: New Bern.
Checkpoint: Suffolk.
Destination: The Void.
Allez... let's move.
(Chorus: Momo Tenji)
(Melodic, high-pitch auto-tune)
We moving North, yeah we chasing the cold
Leaving the sun for the stories untold.
From the NC heat to the Michigan freeze
I’m a ghost in the wind, shaking the trees.
Migration Protocol, sever the tie
Watch the old version of the spirit die.
Battle Creek waiting, yeah open the door
We don't live in the past, no, not anymore.
(Verse 1: Friedghostly - The Journey)
(Melodic, storytelling flow)
Yeah, started in New Bern, yeah the water was deep
But the dreams were too big and the town was too sleep.
Packed up the bags, hit the road to VA
Suffolk was the stop, but I couldn't stay.
I felt the glitch in the blood, felt the itch in the bone
Looking for a kingdom to call up my own.
I-95 to the I-69
Watching the highway erase the timeline.
I’m a masterpiece in the making, yeah check the design
Leaving the coast for the heavy snow line.
(Bridge: Momo Tenji)
(Beat switches - The bass gets distorted and nasty)
(Momo's Voice - French Accent, whispering but intense)
Attention.
The coordinates have changed.
We do not run... we hunt.
(Verse 2: Momo Tenji - The French Drill Flow)
(Fast, aggressive, rolling R's, punchy)
Look at me now, mon ami, look at the ghost!
Lone wolf status, yeah I do it the most.
I got a black heart turning cold in the chest
Put the new system to the ultimate test.
New Bern was the cage, Suffolk was the yard
But Battle Creek is where the body gets hard!
I’m on a tsunami, I’m flooding the street
Turning the tragedy into the heat.
C'est la vie, you cannot read the map
So I burn up the road and I never look back.
From the 2-5-2 to the 7-5-7, now I’m 2-6-9
I’m crossing the border, I’m crossing the line!
Wolf in the snow, yeah I hunt for the meal
If you ain't moving forward, then tell me... are you real?
(Vraiment?)
(Chorus: Momo Tenji)
(Switch back to melodic vocals)
We moving North, yeah we chasing the cold
Leaving the sun for the stories untold.
From the NC heat to the Michigan freeze
I’m a ghost in the wind, shaking the trees.
Migration Protocol, sever the tie
Watch the old version of the spirit die.
Battle Creek waiting, yeah open the door
We don't live in the past, no, not anymore.
(Outro)
(Sound of car door slamming... footsteps in crunching snow)
(Momo Tenji)
Arrival complete.
Welcome to the 269.
Au revoir.
