[Intro – cinematic, cold, mechanical, shimmering oriental synth motifs] [Instrumental with desert-scale arpeggios, metallic impacts, distant chants] --- [Verse I] Steel runs hot in the midnight glare, Footprints lost in electric air. I’ve walked through storms of neon sand, Searching for a voice to understand. Your silhouette in the shifting dust, Eyes like a code carved deep in rust. You called my name through the static howl, And something ancient made me bow. --- [Pre-Chorus] The wind was chanting secrets I’d denied, Like ghosts of circuits buried in the tide. --- [Chorus] Light me up, through the fire and the fault lines, Burn my doubt till the desert turns to gold. Raise me high where the skyline bleeds with starlight, In your shadow I am fearless, uncontrolled. ’Cause every road that breaks me down Leads right back to your neon crown — Forever bound to the vow I made tonight. --- [Verse II] Mirages pulse where the engines roar, Ancient patterns on a steel-forged floor. Your touch was voltage under my skin, A spark that told me “rise again.” Gears collide like a tribal drum, Echoes of a war we’ve yet to overcome. You pulled me close as the darkness screamed — A metal prayer, a fevered dream. --- [Pre-Chorus] The stars were humming scales I used to fear, Now every note draws you near. --- [Chorus] Light me up, through the fire and the fault lines, Burn my doubt till the desert turns to gold. Raise me high where the skyline bleeds with starlight, In your shadow I am fearless, uncontrolled. ’Cause every road that breaks me down Leads right back to your neon crown — Forever bound to the vow I made tonight. --- [Bridge – female spoken voice] “In the silence between heartbeats, your name becomes a blade of light.” [Industrial breakdown: metallic clanks, deep distorted bass, Arabic-influenced vocal runs, tense build] --- [Final Chorus (bigger, soaring, eastern ornaments)] Light me up, through the fire and the fault lines, Burn my doubt till the desert turns to gold. Lift me higher where your echo rules the skyline — I am yours, I am forged, I am bold. Every road that breaks me down Leads me home to your neon crown — Forever bound to the vow I make tonight.
