(( *** Anghelus! He was here before. Centuries ago, the city bore another name, and the pavement that now glows with neon was once slick with rain upon cobblestone. His love for a mortal, and intrigues that were plotted against him, made him betray the one who had made him what he is. A vampire! But the punishment of his kind was cruel — disfigured, banished, buried. Yet he could not die. In the darkness of the earth, he heard the city above him breathe, grow, and forget. Stone upon stone, century after century. Until their voices woke him — the rumble of engines, the wail of sirens, the rhythm of heartbeats. The world had changed, but humans had not: blind, loud, far too sure of themselves. Now he walks the streets again, in a body that moves like a shadow through glass and mist. No one recognizes him. No one believes in him. But he sees them all — the descendants of those who once betrayed him. Their faces flicker across screens, their names blaze in the lights of towers, their hearts beat within the same city that once burned him. He smiles, softly. For he knows that patience is his greatest weapon. He waits, unseen, as the city hums and forgets. And when it does — when memory fades completely — he will rise from the dark once more. And he will teach it to remember. *** )) Song 4 Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/20428bd0-0613-4287-891e-4a6d8f331eb4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Verse 1] I walk the streets of steel and glass, A city humming, cold and vast. No reflection answers me In windows burning forgotten dreams. The lights cut sharp into my eyes, Like truths I learned to leave behind. [Verse 2] I fade into the crowd, the night, Between the towers, out of sight. Narrow alleys teach me how To watch the world without a sound. Then from the tower’s crystal door She steps into the night once more. [Pre-Chorus] Red hair catching borrowed light, My gaze just grazes her at first. Then everything forgets to move, The air stands still, my heart remembers you. [Chorus] The world goes quiet for a breath, As time bends back through dust and death. I know your face, the way you move, The way you brush your hair from view. This can’t be real, this can’t be true… Anna, I remember you. [Verse 3] I press myself against the wall, Resist the urge to lose control. I grit my teeth till shadows bleed, Feel fangs descend with hungry need. The city wakes, begins to roar, I follow you… with eyes, no more. [Chorus] The world goes quiet for a breath, As time bends back through dust and death. I know your face, the way you move, The way you brush your hair from view. This can’t be real, this can’t be true… Anna, I remember you. [Bridge] No… it can’t be you, You’ve been gone too long. Centuries turned your name to stone. I crush the cigarette to ash, Tell myself it’s just the past. But your name keeps calling through… [Final Chorus] The crowd devours you from my sight, The streetlight flickers, swallows light. I chase a ghost I swear I knew, Or maybe just the shape of you. This can’t be real, this can’t be true… She is dead. She always was. Still her name Won’t let me go. (Anna)
