[Instrumental Intro – (Distorted bass solo, cascading feedback, double-kick drums rolling into a slow doom riff, guitars swell into harmony before dropping into silence)]

[Verse 1 – (Clean bass intro, slow toms, baritone vocal)]
The thunder called you far too soon
Beneath the blood-red Baltic moon
Your notes still burn through fractured skies
Each string a scream that never dies

[Pre-Chorus – (Tempo rises, guitars tighten, snare hits accent vocals)]
Steel and soul became your creed
You played till sound began to bleed

[Chorus – (Full band crash, melodic lead guitar over bass groove)]
You rode the lightning past the break of day
Defied the dark then slipped away
Your fingers carved the fire into bone
A requiem etched in iron tone
Through every chord your legend roams
You ride the lightning home

[Verse 2 – (Muted riff, bass lead returns, vocals rasp with emotion)]
No grave can cage the storm you made
No silence dulls the path you laid
The metal gods still call your name
Each echo carries your flame

[Pre-Chorus – (Cymbal swell, harmonized guitars)]
Fury born of heart and pain
You turned the chaos into rain

[Chorus – (Heavier, with chanted backing vocals)]
You rode the lightning past the break of day
Defied the dark then slipped away
Your fingers carved the fire into bone
A requiem etched in iron tone
Through every chord your legend roams
You ride the lightning home

[Bridge – (Bass solo, harmonized leads, whispering vocal layer)]
In the quiet halls of sound you wait
Where time and thunder hesitate
A ghost in strings, a saint of rage
Still tearing through the cosmic stage

[Instrumental – (Bass-driven breakdown, guitars duel, final high note sustained into reverb)]

[Final Chorus – (Half-time rhythm, crowd-chant vocals layered with harmony)]
You rode the lightning past the break of day
Defied the dark then slipped away
Your fingers carved the fire into bone
A requiem etched in iron tone
Through every chord your legend roams
You ride the lightning home

[Outro – (Solo bass fades into echoing distortion, final cymbal crash dissolves to silence)]
