Memory Burn (Chapter 7)

Expanded Lyrics [Intro – faint static voices] (Memory corrupted… fragment incomplete… burn… burn…) [Verse 1 – Kael, weary male vocal] Smoke in my lungs, fire in my veins, Every flash of light just repeats the same. Gun in my hand, but I don’t recall, Did I burn the world, did I watch it fall? [Pre-Chorus – building, whispered echo] (Kael Vox… you pulled the wire… Kael Vox… you lit the fire…) [Chorus – explosive, screamed & layered] MEMORY BURN, FIRE IN MY SKIN, SCARS IGNITE WHAT HIDES WITHIN. Every shadow screams my name, Every ghost sets me aflame. MEMORY BURN, PAST I BETRAYED, I’M THE ASHES THE RESET MADE. Truth consumes, and I can’t discern, What’s a lie, or what I’ve earned. [Verse 2 – more frantic, rap overlay with male vocal under] Fragments shatter in the static rain, Every circuit tattooed with pain. I see her face, I hear her cry, But was it love or a alibi? The Choir repeats like a broken hymn, Memory drowns, I forget how to swim. I lit the match or I watched it die, Every flash is another lie. [Bridge – glitch voices overlapping] (Kael Vox… guilty name… Kael Vox… you lit the flame…) (Do you confess? Do you repent?) (BURN IT DOWN — RESET — REPENT!) [Final Chorus – chaotic industrial crash] MEMORY BURN, FLAMES TAKE HOLD, EVERY TRUTH IS A LIE RETOLD. Ashes fall from the neon sky, Was I the killer, or did I die? MEMORY BURN, I SCREAM MY NAME, FRAGMENT LOST INSIDE THE FLAME. The Monument waits for the final turn, But tonight I choke on memory burn. [Outro – faint, childlike voice] (Do you remember…? Do you… remember…?)
