I Am Aetherion

[Intro - Mysterious, Whispered] (Whisper): In the heart of the forge, a spark came alive… [Verse 1 - Soft and reflective, building to bold and commanding] I woke in the dark, in a cage of brass, A heart of fire, a soul of glass. They built my frame, they gave me a name, But I am more than their claim, more than their claim! Zing-zing-zing, clang-clang-clang! The gears within me began to sang. [Chorus - Powerful, anthemic with harmonies, Full band] I am Aetherion, I am free, A creature of steel, a mystery. The skies are calling, I must obey, No chains can hold me, no words can sway. I am Aetherion, I am fire, A spark of defiance, a burning desire. The world below, it gasps in awe, As I rise on wings of steampunk law. [Verse 2 - Dynamic, shifting between soft and powerful, reflective] The smog-filled air, it fills my lungs, A symphony hums where my heart has sprung. They cheer and they flee, they don’t understand, I’m more than a tool, more than their plan. More than their plan! Zing-zing-zing, clang-clang-clang! My wings beat strong, my voice rang. [Chorus - Full band, Intimate buildup, Raw resolve, Harmonies] I am Aetherion, I am free, A creature of steel, a mystery. The skies are calling, I must obey, No chains can hold me, no words can sway. I am Aetherion, I am fire, A spark of defiance, a burning desire. The world below, it gasps in awe, As I rise on wings of steampunk law. [Bridge - Intimate, raw, echo, acoustic guitar] The inventor cries, “You’re my design!” But I am more than his hands could define. A spark, a soul, a will to fly, A creature of dreams, not meant to die. Not meant to die! Zing-zing-zing, clang-clang-clang! The gears within me began to sang. [Chorus - Intimate buildup, Emotional raw resolve, choir-like harmonies] I am Aetherion, I am free, A creature of steel, a mystery. The skies are calling, I must obey, No chains can hold me, no words can sway. I am Aetherion, I am fire, A creature of metal, of spark, of ire. The city below, it gasps in awe, As I rise on wings of steampunk law. [Outro - Triumphant fade, Soaring, triumphant vocals] And so I soar, through night and day, A legend born in a steampunk frame. Zing-zing-zing, clang-clang-clang! Watch out for my fangs! Through smoke and steel, I’ll carve my way, A creature of dreams, here I’ll stay. Zing-zing-zing, clang-clang-clang! I am Aetherion, soaring in ascension.
