[Intro] [Male Vocal] Cast from the storm to the endless deep, Hunger in my bones, a vow to keep. The tides once whispered, “Stay in line,” But I carved my name in the jaws of time. [Verse] [Female Vocal] Steel-eyed ghosts, they ruled before, Four hundred million years of war. But I came burning through their chains, Now the deep is screaming out my name! [Chorus] [Duet] [Energy: High] In the shadows, we rise, Against the tide, we fight, With a roar that shakes the deep, We claim the night— In this strange war! [Verse] [Male Vocal] Torn by struggle, cut by teeth, Dragged down bleeding through my grief. I was prey to all I feared, ‘Til I learned to hunt the years. [Pre-Chorus] [Female Vocal, echo] Steel-eyed ghosts, they ruled before, Four hundred million years of war. But I came burning through their chains, Now the deep is screaming out my name! [Chorus] [Duet] [Harmonies] In the shadows, we rise, Against the tide, we fight, With a roar that shakes the deep, We claim the night— In this strange war! [Bridge] [Duet, call-and-response] I swam the past, it called my name, A hollow song, a losing game. The waters whisper secrets old, But the future’s mine to hold! Shadows shifting, striking swift, I break the dark, I breach, I lift! [Chorus] [Duet, Intensified] In the shadows, we rise, Against the tide, we fight, With a roar that shakes the deep, We claim the night— In this strange war! [Outro] [Male Vocal growl / Female soar] No crown was given, none was spared, The sea’s not kind, the sea’s not fair. But I was born to seize the fate, To rule the waves—dominate!
