⸻ 🎼 “I Need the Antidote (Galamushi — Memory of Ash)” ⸻ [Intro | soft piano | distant choir | rain | low breath] Who was I… before the fire? I remember… something softer than this. ⸻ [Verse 1 | low, controlled | dark cinematic] I wore one name when the world was young A fragile crown beneath the sun Born in halls of blade and throne Never meant to stand alone Then fire came with borrowed steel Blood taught me what gods won’t heal Everything I was that night Learned to fade… and learned to bite ⸻ [Pre-Chorus | rising tension | low strings] I learned the weight of breath and blade The cost of every choice I made But deeper still beneath control Were doors that hunger for the soul ⸻ [Chorus | tragic | wide | restrained power] I need the antidote Was this destiny… or a lie I believed? I need the antidote A curse dressed up as something I need I need the antidote Ooh ooh I need the antidote ⸻ [Chant Chorus 1 | hollow | distant voices] Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out I was just a man Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out Before it began ⸻ [Instrumental Solo 0 | piano + choir | slow, emotional] ⸻ [Verse 2 | darker | reflective] I met a man time left behind A keeper of flame, a thief of mind He showed me worlds inside the spark How light can fracture into dark I reached for power not my own Tried to claim what’s never loaned And something answered from below A voice that I still cannot know ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2 | quieter | haunted] Possession never feels like chains It feels like purpose without pain Until you wake inside the storm And lose the shape you once were born ⸻ [Chorus 2 | heavier | fuller] I need the antidote Was this judgment… or the price of my sin? I need the antidote A war I lost before it could begin I need the antidote Ooh ooh I need the antidote ⸻ [Chant Chorus 2 | escalation] Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out Two voices speak Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out One grows weak ⸻ [Instrumental Solo 1 | violin + low guitar | tension] ⸻ [Bridge / Verse 3 | stripped | intimate | cosmic] I remember before your years Before your heaven learned its fears Before the fall was named as sin Before the war you’re living in Light was not kind Dark was not cruel There were no sides— Only rules And I… was never meant to remain ⸻ [Instrumental Solo 2 | choir swell + distorted lead | cinematic] ⸻ [Final Chorus | biggest | layered] I need the antidote Or is this what I was made to become? I need the antidote A war that never leaves me undone I need the antidote Ooh ooh I need the antidote ⸻ [Outro Chant | fading | echoing] Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out Still I remain Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out In endless pain ⸻ [Final Line | whisper | close] I was a boy… once ⸻
