[Intro] [Dark Nova:] May I have your attention... I am not asking. Nearhutta taught me That silence Can be louder Than obedience. Listen carefully. It only gets darker. [Verse I] The factories never slept. Neither did the paperwork. Every promise arrived Stamped, Filed, Forgotten. Jebb looked toward the stars. I looked beneath them. Same prison. Different exit. [Dark Nova] Some people escape. Some people Become impossible To contain. [Pre-Chorus] I carried nothing Except perfect posture, An inconvenient memory, And enough ambition To frighten elevators. [Chorus] Nearhuttian nights, Still stitched into my skin. Smoke beneath my heartbeat, Steel beneath my grin. Nearhuttian nights, Never really disappear. You leave the city behind... The city Keeps following You. [Verse II] Corus-Can. An infinite city Pretending It has no bottom. I found the bottom anyway. Rust. Broken lights. Forgotten names. The floors where gravity Starts questioning itself. Nobody welcomed me. Good. I dislike ceremonies. [Dark Nova] The higher levels Never expected Someone From below. That mistake Was educational. [Verse III] I climbed One district at a time. No shortcuts. No prophecy. No chosen destiny. Only colder nights, Sharper heels, And decisions That never apologized. The towers watched. Eventually... They bowed. [Bridge] Power isn't inherited. It's accumulated. Floor by floor. Scar by scar. Silence by silence. Until one day... People stop asking Who you are. They ask For permission To enter your office. [Verse IV] Now they call me Dark Queen. Not because I demanded it. Because nobody Found A better description. The skyline belongs To everyone. The shadows... Report to me. [Break] Jebb built A place to lift. I built A place Where nobody Could ever Push me down again. Now I push everyone down. [Final Chorus] Nearhuttian nights, Forged us in different flames. He chose open horizons. I chose endless names. Nearhuttian nights, Echo through every hall. Some become legends... Some become The city Watching over them all. [Outro] May I have your attention... I still wasn't asking. Corus-Can Asked for a queen. I simply Accepted The vacancy.
