⚡ ACT III — THE REIGNITE Scene 7 — Black Lotus Riot falls into the dirt, and the world holds its breath. The fire that once consumed her now blooms beneath her skin, twisting rust and ash into petals of light. She doesn’t rise from the dead — she grows from it. The air hums with heat, the ground whispers her name. In the stillness between decay and divinity, a new voice begins to breathe. The flame has changed shape — but it still burns. ----------------- Personal Message: ----------------- Black Lotus is a part of me, a darker part. When you’re at the bottom, you only see two choices: falling deeper… or trying to bloom anyway. Even when the darkness feels easier, something stubborn inside us still grows. That’s what this song means to me. Even in the shadows, there’s beauty. ---------------- Lyric ---------------- The ground is warm. My skin remembers fire. I thought I died — but the silence just changed shape. I see colors I don’t have names for. The world’s gone quiet, but something’s growing underneath. Roots crawl through bone and wire, feeding on the ghosts I left behind. My veins hum like broken strings, singing in rust and oxygen dreams. Every breath tastes like soil and smoke, every scar opens, and something awoke. The sun’s gone black, the sky forgot, and in the dark — I bloom in rot. There’s beauty in decay, I can feel it move inside. Every wound becomes a seed, every death a way to rise. I bloom in the dark — I burn to begin. My petals drip blood, my roots drink sin. The world forgot to pray, so I became the hymn. I bloom in the dark — I burn I hear whispers in the dirt — a thousand lives that never hurt. They call my name through mud and flame, and I rise again, but not the same. My fingers glow with fevered grace, new life blooms where I erased. The fire doesn’t kill — it rearranges. I’m not dying — I’m changing. (Riot): “I feel her breathing in my chest.” (Voice): “You’re the flame — she’s the rest.” (Riot): “Am I alive, or just awake?” (Voice): “You’re what the ashes choose to make.” Two hearts, one noise. Two bodies, one bloom. The mirror shatters — and I become the wound. I bloom in the dark — I burn to begin. The rust is gone, but the fire stays in. I bloom in the dark — I burn to begin. Death is the seed, and I’m the sin. The flower hums. The blood turns sweet. The light comes crawling back to me. I’m not holy, I’m not clean — just alive enough to dream. And the world — it listens again. The flame breathes. The lotus opens. I remember my name. © 2025 Xirbaf. All rights reserved.
