“Locust in the Firestorm” [Alternate]

🎵 “Locust in the Firestorm” (Verse 1) Steel dawn rising on a dust-choked plain, I’m the smallest damn Mech in this whole campaign. Sensors scream—yeah, they’re coming fast, Little hover-devils on a murder pass. (Pre-Chorus) Engines howling, kicking grit in my wake, ’Cause one wrong move is the last I’ll make. (Chorus) I’m a Locust in the firestorm, running light, running scared, But my heart hits harder than the armor I wear. Savannah Masters swarm like a hungry tide, But I’ll dance through the chaos—ain’t no way I’ll die. (Verse 2) They circle ’round me in a hurricane spin, Like a hundred gnats with a taste for tin. Autocannons snap like the crack of doom, I weave through the thunder with no room to room. (Pre-Chorus) Heat gauge rising, paint scorched from the frame, But speed is a weapon in this deadly game. (Chorus) I’m a Locust in the firestorm, legs burning on the run, Outnumbered, outgunned—but I’m not outrun. They strike like lightning, fast and mean, But I’m the ghost in the smoke that they’ve never seen. (Bridge) One by one their engines fail, Shredded metal in my victory trail. ’Cause a MechWarrior fights with more than steel— It’s grit, it’s fire, it’s the will to feel That every battle, every breath Is a dance on the razor edge of death. (Final Chorus) I’m a Locust in the firestorm, carving through the swarm, A tiny titan in a titan’s warzone born. Savannah Masters fall to the dust behind, ’Cause speed is life—and tonight, life is mine. (Outro) When the battlefield quiets and the smoke rolls thin, You’ll see the little Mech that refused to give in. Just a Locust—just a whisper— But I’m still standing tall.
