[Intro | high-frequency 8-bit sonar, cracked radio, freezing wind drone] [Choir | hollow, breathless hum] Ah—ah—ah— the sky has teeth. [Verse 1 | sung, high but low-register whisper] Before the wind there was a void Before the void, a chill A emerald coil cut the real And taught the air to kill I asked it for a breath of life I thought I found a cloud I didn’t hear the twilight laugh When it wrapped me in a shroud [Pre-Chorus | sung, cold and rising] Don’t bless the air that feeds you Don’t praise the height that waits It only loves the falling wish Still knocking in your chest [Chorus | lead + hollow stratosphere choir] Rayquaza, Rayquaza Saint of the endless height You wear an ozone shroud like glass To swallow up the light Rayquaza, Rayquaza Mercy made of stone You teach the weather how to bleed Then guard the sky alone [Verse 2 | sung, sharp rhythmic static] They find no wreckage in the dawn The vacuum is the point The feathers go out in single file With frost still in the joint The world can turn a thousand years This ceiling will not close A little 8-bit altitude signal ticks Where the cosmic current flows [Pre-Chorus] Don’t look too long into the void A thousand leagues of prayer If you can hear the pressure drop You’re already the fare [Chorus] Rayquaza, Rayquaza Saint of the endless height You wear an ozone shroud like glass To swallow up the light Rayquaza, Rayquaza Mercy made of stone You teach the weather how to bleed Then guard the sky alone [Verse 3 | sung, airy whisper] It doesn’t hunt along the range It hunts the need to fly It waits until you beg a god To calm the burning sky It drinks the safety before the breath It files you with the dark It leaves an orbit like an open vault To mark you as the ark [Bridge | ozone choir, cold echoing chant] [Choir | breathless, high-altitude drone swells] The silent barrier, they wrote That kept the meteors tame They printed it in schoolbooks To hide the ancient shame [Lead, sung] That line was never written kind It wasn't made to shield It was a hunting call in rhyme For anyone out in the field [Chorus | bigger, wall of freezing vocals] Rayquaza, Rayquaza Black vacuum, no way home You fold an atmosphere into myth And wear it while you roam Rayquaza, Rayquaza The tempest learned a tune You leave the first day quieter And frozen far too soon [Final Chorus | lead + full high stratosphere choir] Rayquaza, Rayquaza Saint of the endless height You wear an ozone shroud like glass To swallow up the light Rayquaza, Rayquaza Say it if you dare The current breaks once. The sky looks in. It already knows you’re there. [Outro | sung, fading into vacuum] [Lead] If the high altitude begins to carry A freezing you almost know— [Choir | thinning out, dying sound wave] Don’t breathe out. Don’t breathe out. That’s how the vacuum gets in. [Lead, fading] Rayquaza… [Choir, last thin frequency decay] …still hunting.
