The Legend of the Clan

[Intro] Circle in the dust Masks on Eyes steady Old code in the air Hands clasp "You ready?" [Verse 1] Born where the cracked stone bleeds Ink-stained fingers We plant those seeds Passed down patterns Carved in the bone Every secret syllable Sharpened on stone Gramps said "Guard this Guard your breath" Every line you spit could summon life or death Ciphered up prayers in the margins of fate Read between the scars Learn to levitate [Chorus] Cypher Lore We the ones they whisper stories for Hands in the air like a coded war Three taps down Then we open doors Cypher Clan Quiet in the dark till the fuse gets lit Name in the dust that they can’t omit We write the rules Then we vanish quick [Verse 2] Lantern in the tunnel Crew moves tight Paint on the palms from a long lost rite We don’t speak names Only signs and marks Whole bloodline hidden in the teeth of the dark Kick dust Carve circles in the floorboards Turn breath to blades Every rhyme a warlord We don’t trade truth for a little more fame We trade fear for fire Then we brand our name [Pre-Chorus] Hear that thump? That’s hearts in sync Watch them blink when we break the brink Old chants laced in a new-school tongue Every bar a bell that’s never un-rung [Chorus] Cypher Lore We the ones they whisper stories for Hands in the air like a coded war Three taps down Then we open doors Cypher Clan Quiet in the dark till the fuse gets lit Name in the dust that they can’t omit We write the rules Then we vanish quick [Bridge] [low vocal register] Left foot Right foot Dust on the land Palm to the ground Feel the pulse of the clan Child of the glyphs Heir of the script One wrong word and the world might flip [whispered vocals] Can you keep the code? Can you hold the line? Every legend falls Till we redraw the sign [Chorus] Cypher Lore We the ones they whisper stories for Hands in the air like a coded war Three taps down Then we open doors Cypher Clan [Verse 3] Dust on the scrolls in a code we weave Tattooed vows run under the sleeve Old heads nod when the young ones grieve Every bar crafted like a rooted tree Ink on the knuckles Oath on the tongue Circle in the courtyard Beat from the drum Stories in the scars when the cipher is spun Steel in the gaze of the chosen one [Verse 4] Lantern in the dojo Glow on the floor Footsteps echo like a heartbeat war Cipher on the wall in a spiral form Read it out loud and the air turns warm Mask on the face But the eyes don’t lie Past in the palm New paths in the sky Every lost voice that was cut Unsung We sew those names in the lungs of the young [Chorus] Lines connect across the years and the miles Each verse a bridge, a timeless trial Guard each echo, let it resound A legacy crafted in every sound Circles unbroken, whispers in the night Igniting the past with present light Here we stand, where shadows blend With each rhyme, our story won't end [Suite] [low vocal register] Bloodline braided in the breath Every rhyme written is a fight with death Hear the clan chant over cold stone steps “Guard the flame Don’t let it be swept” [strings swell] Scribes in hoods Ink-stained hands Pass the patterns Gone like sand Yet the lines live when the crowd understands One word One world Hold the strands [moment of silence] (First Gen) Lenry - Damia Neoss - Sakura (Second Gen) Lyden - Linda Telden - Elene Lucie Genova (Third Gen) Luna - Kylicen Slyth - Mia Thaen - Maena Villena - Keith Leo (twin) Mia (last born) [whispered vocals] Cypher Lore Pass it on Name in the margins Voice in the dawn Clan in the cadence Ghosts in the rhyme We don’t fade out We just bend time Circles unbroken, whispers in the night Igniting the past with present light Here we stand, where shadows blend With each rhyme, our story won't end [Suite] [low vocal register] Bloodline
