🎙️ [Intro – Spoken, over building feedback and distant sirens] "They say the world went quiet that night… but I heard music in the dark." "Born in the blackout. And I never stopped screaming." 🪓 [Verse 1 – Grimy, bluesy riff with distortion] I came out cryin’ in a city on fire Mama held me close near a broken amplifier Candlelight shadows, fists in the street My first lullaby was bootsteps and heat No name, no future, just static and breath The lights came back, but I never forget While others were dreamin’ of gods in the stars I was pluckin’ steel strings behind neon bars ⚡ [Chorus – Power chords, thunder behind the beat] Born in the blackout — no halo above Just a spark in the silence, a song made of love You don’t need a spotlight to learn how to shine I found my voice in the cracks of the line Born in the blackout — I was forged in the hum And when the lights go out, that’s when I become 🧨 [Verse 2 – Double-time riff, more aggressive] Learned rhythm on riot shields, rhyme from the street Drumbeat of protest gave me my beat Mama taught harmony, knuckles taught pain I tuned my defiance into a runaway train Junkyard stages, cable-fire dreams Every solo I screamed, I ripped at the seams I ain’t your chosen son, I ain’t your star But I’ll turn this silence into a battle-scarred guitar 🔥 [Chorus – Bigger, layered with gang vocals] Born in the blackout — no choir, no priest Just thunder in my chest and a monster unleashed You don’t need a spotlight to learn how to shine I found my voice in the cracks of the line Born in the blackout — from silence I strum And when the lights go out, that’s when I become 🌑 [Bridge – Stripped down, ambient feedback] “I never asked for the light…” “I learned to see in the dark.” “Every time they tried to mute me…” “…I played louder.” ⚔️ [Final Chorus – All instruments at full power, HighBeamz screaming into the storm] Born in the blackout — the city my flame Branded in rhythm, baptized in name You don’t need a crown to lead the divine Just a sound that burns, and a soul made to shine Born in the blackout — I was raised by the hum And when the lights go out… YOU KNOW I COME! 🎸 [solo rips through echoing feedback]
