# RUNNING WITH HEAT **Eternal-Brandon feat. HeaDKase** ### [Intro — Immediate Pickup] **HeaDKase — Forceful Rhythmic Vocal** One step left, two steps right! Check the left, check the right! Keep it loaded, move on sight! Wake the wasteland, run tonight! **Eternal-Brandon — Low Baritone** No turning back. We're still alive. ### [Verse 1 — Eternal-Brandon, Rhythmic Half-Sung] Boots hit gravel, sky turns red Broken towers overhead Rusted signs and shattered glass Never know what's gonna pass Steel on my back, cold in my hand No safe road across this land Eyes in the dark, sparks in the dust Move as a unit, survive or bust! **HeaDKase — Call and Response** Who's out there? **Brandon:** Nobody knows! Where we headed? **Both:** THROUGH THE SMOKE! ### [Pre-Chorus — Eternal-Brandon, Rising] Can you hear the heartbeat pounding? Something moves beneath the ground Hold your breath, the night is calling When the walls come down, keep running! ### [Chorus — Both Artists, Full Vocal Stack] Running with heat! Running with heat! Heavy boots and a war drum beat! Through the wasteland, never retreat! Run, run, run with heat! Running with heat! Running with heat! Eyes wide open, watch the street! If the whole world falls at our feet, Run, run, run with heat! ### [Drop 1 — HeaDKase, Heavy Half-Time Dubstep] RUN! Keep moving! MOVE! Keep moving! SCAN! All around! BASS HIT HARD — SHAKE THE GROUND! *Distorted bass growls, mechanical percussion, downtuned guitar chugs.* ### [Verse 2 — HeaDKase, Aggressive Swagger Flow] Magazine clicks, another round Low bass rattles through the town Black smoke curling past the gate No time to stop, no time to wait! Broken drones in the violet sky Red dots blink as the scouts fly by Three on the ridge, two by the wall One wrong move and we lose it all! Left flank clear? **NOT YET!** Rear guard set? **YOU BET!** Head down low, steel at our feet We own this march through the concrete deep! ### [Pre-Chorus 2 — Eternal-Brandon Lead, HeaDKase Responses] Can you hear the heartbeat pounding? Ancient bells and sirens sounding Every shadow hides a warning We keep moving till the morning! **HeaDKase:** KEEP MOVING! ### [Chorus — Both Artists] Running with heat! Running with heat! Heavy boots and a war drum beat! Through the wasteland, never retreat! Run, run, run with heat! Running with heat! Running with heat! Eyes wide open, watch the street! If the whole world falls at our feet, Run, run, run with heat! ### [Drop 2 — HeaDKase, Boss-Fight Hybrid Dubstep] *Robotic vocoder and crushing electronic bass* TARGET LOCKED! LOCK! LOCK! LOCK! SQUAD MOVE! MOVE! MOVE! MOVE! NO WAY BACK — WE BREAK ON THROUGH! **Both:** RUN WITH HEAT! RUN WITH HEAT! BASS GO LOW — FEEL THAT BEAT! ### [Melodic Breakdown — Eternal-Brandon, Warm Restrained Baritone] Stars stay awake above the flames We guard the road, we hold our names Moon over ruins, blue over grey Carry the dawn till we find our way One last mile, one last stand Dust and steel in an empty land Hear that pulse? It's calling me There's still a world we need to see ### [Final Build — Dual Vocals] **Brandon:** The ground shakes hard! We don't stop! **HeaDKase:** The sky splits wide! We reach the top! **Brandon:** Count it down — three, two, one! **Both:** WHEN THAT BASS HITS, WE BECOME ONE! ### [Final Chorus — Maximum Energy, Both Artists] Running with heat! Running with heat! Heavy boots and a war drum beat! Through the wasteland, never retreat! Run, run, run with heat! Running with heat! Running with heat! Raise those weapons, guard your team! Out of the ashes of a broken dream, RUN! RUN! RUN WITH HEAT! ### [Final Drop — Explosive Call and Response] **HeaDKase:** RUN! WITH HEAT! **Brandon:** MOVE! ON BEAT! **HeaDKase:** NO MORE HIDING! **Brandon:** NO DEFEAT! **Both:** RUNNING! RUNNING! RUNNING WITH HEAT! ### [Outro — Decisive Ending] *Bass cuts out. Distant static. One final heavy footstep.* **HeaDKase — Low, Distorted:** Sector clear.
