Keelah Se'lai

V6

*[Intro – Normandy engine hum, Reaper horn in the distance, then a commanding voice]* "I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite song in the galaxy." *[Verse 1 – hard rap over dark trance]* Eden Prime burning, beacon in my brain, Visions of the Reapers driving me insane, First human Spectre, Council gave the call, Hunt down Saren, yeah, I'm gonna end it all! Sovereign rising like a nightmare from the deep, Virmire's ashes where the fallen sleep, Through the Mu Relay to Ilos' shore, The Conduit opens — now it's total war! *[Chorus – dark trance drop]* SPECTRE KINGPIN! (pin! pin!) Of the stars, hear the Normandy roar! (roar! roar!) From the Citadel to the great unknown, Every Reaper's gonna know my name is known! SPECTRE KINGPIN! *[Verse 2 – rap, darker]* Normandy burned, but Cerberus rebuilt, SR-2 rising with the best ever built, Collectors stealing colonies in the night, Omega-4 relay — we brought the fight! Suicide mission and the odds were grim, But every squadmate made it out with him, Gair-us on calibrations, keeping guns hot, Nobody dies on Shepard's watch — that's the plot! *[Breakdown – beat strips back, radio crackle]* "Joker... set a course for the Reaper fleet. We fight or we die — that's the plan." *[Verse 3 – Tali romance, beat softens then surges]* Then came Tali, kwar-ee-un, brave and true, Keelah se'lai — girl, I'm here for you, On Rannock's soil where the geth once stood, We made peace where nobody thought we could! Lee-juhn asked if he had a soul that day, The geth stood down, we found a better way, She dreamed of a house where the homeworld sings, I gave her forever — and a damn good ring! *[Verse 4 – new, the final push]* Wrex stood tall to break the genophage curse, Mordin climbed that tower — it couldn't get worse, "I am the very model," his last goodbye, Sang his song as he touched the sky! Thane prayed for me with his final breath, Then Earth was burning — Hammer's last stand, Anderson beside me, gun in hand, Final run to the beam through Harbinger's glare, Crawled through the fire to the Citadel's light, One last choice to end the fight! *[Bridge – half-time, green synth wash, the Choice]* Three paths glowing at the end of it all, Destroy, Control... but I heard the call, Synthesis — let the green wave flood, Merge the circuits with the beating blood! Organics, synthetics, now the same, EDI's smiling, geth remember my name, The Reapers kneel, they help rebuild, A galaxy united — that's the dream fulfilled! *[Build – rising synths, Reaper horns turn harmonic]* Green light... spreading... everywhere... *[Final Chorus – bigger, key change, double]* SPECTRE KINGPIN! (pin! pin!) Of the stars, let the new dawn begin! (gin! gin!) Tali by my side on Rannock's shore, The Reaper war is over — we want no more! SPECTRE KINGPIN! (pin! pin!) Synthesis complete, the future's bright! (bright! bright!) From Eden Prime to the Citadel's dome — The kingpin finally brought them home! SPECTRE KINGPIN! *[Outro – fading, soft]* "Tali... keelah se'lai. We're home."
