Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Born in the rust and rain Stole what he ate, then ran again Card games, back alleys, quick hands Dreaming of stars over dead-end land Met a Wookiee in a prison hold Cut his chains, bought his soul with bold Two outlaws in a metal sky Laughing as the law screamed by [Chorus] Never tell me the odds I’ve been broke, I’ve been bought, I’ve been gods-forsaken I’ve outrun every cage they’ve drawn If the road looks wrong, that’s the road I’m taking From backroom bets to blazing suns I bet my life on the long-shot runs Never tell me the odds I’ll make my own way on [Verse 2] Won a ship on a crooked hand White and worn, but she’d understand Hidden panels, temper like his Fast enough to outfly any quiz Cargo in the floor, heat on the tail Bluff on his lips when the bluff might fail Shot first when the choice was clear Walked out slow, pocket full of fear [Chorus] Never tell me the odds I’ve been broke, I’ve been bought, I’ve been gods-forsaken I’ve outrun every cage they’ve drawn If the road looks wrong, that’s the road I’m taking From frozen debts to rising suns I bet my life on the long-shot runs Never tell me the odds I’ll make my own way on [Bridge] Then came a farm kid, eyes too bright An old believer, talking right A princess with a burn in her tongue He called it a job, but he’d already come undone [Bridge] He turned that ship toward the fire Found something heavier than desire Came back when he swore he was done Watched a kid pull dawn out of a dying sun (ohh) [Chorus] Never tell me the odds I’ve seen friends in the ground, seen empires shaken I’ve flown blind through the darkest storm If your faith feels thin, that’s how legends awaken From carbon stone to morning guns I bet my heart on the losing ones Never tell me the odds I’ll keep on holding on [Verse 3] Years rolled by like debris fields Scars on his face, on the hull, on the shields Lost the boy he tried to raise Lost the love he’d learned to praise Walked that bridge on a fragile beam Spoke one word, split apart the dream Falling with his son’s dark eyes Still hearing old friends’ battle cries [Chorus] Never tell me the odds I was wrong, I was right, I was mistaken I was smuggler, fool, and friend I was running, always running, till my heart was taken From dirty docks to dying stars I chased my name through a thousand wars Never tell me the odds Some ghosts just carry on [Outro] Blaster smoke and a crooked grin A lucky ship and a life of sin If I go down in a fire of light I’ll still be laughing into the night (hey) Never tell me the odds Just point me toward the fight

Cinematic space-western rock: dusty electric guitars, swaggering drums, and steady bass; verses ride a mid-tempo groove with storytelling focus, choruses explode with gang vocals and big chords, bridge strips back to vocal + toms then slams into a final, anthemic hook
