*(Intro – whispered, low growl)* Sss… sss… sniff the starlight… Scarred skies… I stride… --- *(Verse 1 – rap, rhythmic, aggressive)* R-r-red runs, rips through rubble and rain, Cosmo Canyon calling, carved in my veins, F-fangs flash, feral flame in my frame, I’m the last of the lionline, leaping the shame. S-s-savage steps, seismic sound in my stride, Ancient echoes alive in the amber inside, I’m bark and bite, I’m balance and blaze, Star-born soldier in a sapphire haze. --- *(Pre-Chorus – rock chant, rising intensity)* Hoooowwwl— hold the heavens high! Hear my heartbeat, how it h-h-hits the sky! Stone and spirit, stitched in scars, I chase my fate through falling stars! --- *(Chorus – big rock hook)* I howl! I howl through hollowed night! R-r-ripping through wrongs, I ignite the fight! Fangs in the fear, I fracture the lie— Red XIII rides the red-shift sky! I howl! I howl—hear the sound rebound! Claws clash, crash, cosmic ground! St-st-starlight splinters where I fly— Red XIII, never saying goodbye! --- *(Verse 2 – faster rap, more stutter effects)* S-s-sprint through Shinra shadows, slick and sly, Steel-eyed schemes in the sickened sky, I sniff the sin, I see the scheme, Sp-sp-spirit soaked in a soldier’s dream. Barret blasts, but I balance the beast, B-b-bones remember the burned-out east, I’m primal, I’m polished, I’m prophecy-bound, A r-r-rolling roar of a righteous sound. --- *(Guitar Solo Break – spoken over distortion)* I am not pet… I am not weapon… I am W-w-wind that wails through Wutai’s lesson… --- *(Final Chorus – bigger, layered, chaotic)* I howl! I howl in harmonic flame! C-c-cosmic claws carve my name! No cage, no chain, no cloned disguise— Just Red XIII and the reddening skies! I howl! I howl till the worlds align! Feral forever, fate is mine! St-st-stutter the stars, let the thunder reply— RED XIII LIVES WHEN LEGENDS DON’T DIE!
