Black Between the Stars - (A Star Citizen Outlaw Story)

[Acoustic guitar, harmonica intro - 8 bars] [Verse 1] Stanton burned out in my mirrors, jump gate moanin’ slow, Cold hull, black-market crates aboard, places I can’t go. Lawmen want my transponder, want my name in stone, But the black don’t keep no records — and I fly alone. [Chorus] From Stanton into Pyro, I bleed the flame, Contraband runnin’ hot below, forget my name. Through Nyx’s dust where mercy’s thin, I ain’t lookin’ to be saved — just not caged in. [Verse 2] Pyro breeds broken pilots, teeth bared, eyes wide, Deals signed in vacuum, truth left outside. XenoThreat on the comms, war drums in the void, But hunger lives planetside where the caves destroy. [Chorus] From Stanton into Pyro, I bleed the flame, Contraband runnin’ hot below, forget my name. Through Nyx’s dust where mercy’s thin, I ain’t lookin’ to be saved — just not caged in. [Verse 3] Onyx dark, headlamp flickers, stone breathin’ slow, Yormandi coils in silence where the dead won’t go. Eyes like dying starlight, hiss like judgment near, You don’t fight the Yormandi — you survive the fear. [Bridge] We carved it down with shaking hands, paid in blood and scars, Dragged its tongue like contraband back up to the stars. Credits spend, but screams don’t fade, they crawl beneath my skin, Every run I swear’s my last… then I jump again. [Instrumental Break - Slide guitar, harmonica - 8 bars] [Final Chorus] From Stanton into Pyro, I bleed the flame, Contraband runnin’ hot below, forget my name. Through Nyx I drift when engines thin, No heaven waits in vacuum — just the black I’m in. [Spoken Outro] They tell stories ‘bout the stars like they’re clean. Like light don’t lie, and darkness don’t remember. But I’ve heard caves breathe… Seen monsters older than law. Law wants a name. The black don’t want nothin’. So I keep flyin’. Not ‘cause I’m free — But ‘cause stoppin’ means dyin’.
