Jaluna Sunrise
[Intro – Spoken, raspy, lazy tropical voice] Heh… yeah, it’s hot out here on Castrovel tonight. Sun’s burnin’, the surf’s whisperin’, and my pulse… well, let’s just say it took the night off. This one’s for the living and the dead who still know how to drink. It’s called… Jaluna Sunrise. [Verse 1 – Raspy, mellow, lazy tropical vocals] Drifted in from the Castrovel line, Cargo hold full of ghosts and wine, Sun hit the hull, my bones got warm, Never thought death could feel this calm. They docked me close to the mangrove bars, Androids shining like midnight stars, A Yuh-SO-kee merchant gave me a grin, Said, “Try the Jaluna, let the magic begin.” [Chorus – Raspy, laid-back beach-rock delivery, slightly slurred tone] Jaluna Sunrise, glow in my glass, Sweet as sin and twice as fast. Sip the starlight, taste the flame, Every drop forgets your name. Raise that glass to the broken skies, Drink your soul till the sunrise dies. Jaluna Sunrise, shine through me, Half-alive on the Lushun sea. [Verse 2 – Smooth, easy island cadence with lazy drawl] They grind the pulp from the Jaluna fruit, Blue fire veins run through the root. Pour it slow through crystal ice, Then lace it with necro-spice. A dash of rum from Eox’s shore, A shimmer of light from a Drift engine core. Swirl it once, it hums real low, Like the dead still singing from down below. [Chorus – Raspy, mellow, relaxed sway] Jaluna Sunrise, glow in my glass, Sweet as sin and twice as fast. Sip the starlight, taste the flame, Every drop forgets your name. Raise that glass to the broken skies, Drink your soul till the sunrise dies. Jaluna Sunrise, shine through me, Half-alive on the Lushun sea. [Bridge – Playful, loose island storyteller tone] An Android girl with silver eyes, Poured my drink and looked surprised. Yuh-SO-kee barkeep shrugs and sighs, “Another dead man chasing highs.” But I just laugh, my jaw unhinged, Dripping rum from bones un-sinned. Cause life’s a glitch, and death’s a plan, When you’re an undead tourist with a tan. [Verse 3 – Slower, dreamy, heat-hazed vocal tone] Barge slides slow through jungle mist, Serpents curl where the sunlight kissed. Pleasure drones hum soft above, Selling lies in the shape of love. The trees all whisper like tired waves, The air still hums through hidden graves. And somewhere deep, beneath the foam, I swear I hear my grave call home. [Chorus – Grand, hazy, half-slurred tropical belt] Jaluna Sunrise, glow in my glass, Sweet as sin and twice as fast. Sip the stars till they fade away, Forget tomorrow, drown today. Raise that glass to the broken skies, Drink your soul till the sunrise dies. Jaluna Sunrise, burn through me, Half-alive on the Lushun sea. [Outro – Slow, soulful, melancholy tropical fade] Androids sweep as the tides come in, Yuh-SO-kee counting creds eyed me with a grin. Says the Boys in the back call you [brief pause] ...Jaluna Jim I smile, My glass still hums, it’s warm, it’s mine, The sun bleeds red on the jungle line. The ship drifts slow, my pulse long gone, But the song of the surf keeps rolling on. If death’s a dream, then I won’t rise, Just pour me one more..... [brief pause] Jaluna Sunrise.
