[Intro – Spoken Rhyme / Jack Righteous over tribal djembe + low hum] I flew through flame with a mission deep, To guard the Queen while Serpent creep. But I stung for truth when the whisper came — Now death trails fall behind my name. My wings grow weak, my path is torn, But I still fly — though my end is sworn. One last hum through garden’s light — Bee Righteous bleeds, but still I fight. [Verse 1 – The Sting That Failed] The fruit was bitten, time stood still, The garden shuddered — lost God’s will. I dove from sky with fire-fed breath, To mark her soul, to spare her death. But queens don’t die — they rise through flame, And I was wrong to doubt her name. My sting went deep, but not to harm — I tried to save her from the charm. The serpent grinned, the wind went cold, Creation bent, the flowers fold. Now I drip gold from broken skin, And pray the hive survives this sin. [Hook – Sacred Duty, Final Flight] And BEE RIGHTEOUS (first to warn) BEE RIGHTEOUS (wing is torn) One more breath, I pierce the veil — To tell the swarm how grace can fail. And BEE RIGHTEOUS (rise or fall) BEE RIGHTEOUS (sting was call) No crown I wear, no fame I chase — Just truth I bled to guard her place. [Verse 2 – Race Through the Dying Garden] I buzz through thorns where lilies cried, Past roots that watched their rivers die. The trees once bowed when I would pass, Now silence holds them tight like glass. My hum once woke the sleeping vine, Now even figs reject the sign. Each flap I take is pain on pain — But I won’t stop ‘til Hive remain. Tell the drones: “The Queen was true — She bore the sting and still she grew.” Tell the soil: “The fire fell fast — But one bee burned to make it passed.” [Bridge – The Martyr’s Whisper] O honey blood, O sacred flame, Let them remember Bee Righteous name. Not every wound means traitor’s fate — Some wings must break to guard the gate. [Final Chorus – Eternal Hum] AND BEE RIGHTEOUS (if I fall) BEE RIGHTEOUS (hear the call) Hive of Heaven, swarm of light — One voice flew back to warn the night. And BEE RIGHTEOUS (tell them why) BEE RIGHTEOUS (I chose to die) The sting was love, the flight was war — The Queen still shines… and I adore. [Outro – Fading Rhyme / Whispered Legacy] So if they ask how Eden died, Say, “One bee stung, then bled with pride.” He flew through pain to save his kin — And marked the Fall from deep within. My wings may break, my buzz may cease — But I die righteous. I die… for peace.
