[Intro – Spoken, echoing hall] Two quills… One ink. Time bends— but the page remembers. Edgar Allan Flow. William Quilliam. [Beat Drop – strings → boom bap] [Verse 1 – William Quilliam] Pray tell, what stage is set with thundered rhyme? Where mortal breath now dances out of time? These bars—no chains—yet forged in poet’s fire, A modern tongue, yet born of ancient lyre. I speak in measure, cadence carved in stone, Where kings once wept and tyrants met their throne. If art be dead, then why doth echo sing? I see no corpse— I see a rising king. [Hook] Quill to the page, Flow to the flame Old world ink in a modern name Time don’t break what the greats became We don’t write bars— we rewrite the game. Quill to the page, Flow to the flame Centuries shift but it’s still the same Truth in the word, power in the frame We don’t chase trends— we engrave the name. [Verse 2 – Edgar Allan Flow] You speak in crowns, I walk with graves instead Every line I write’s something raised from dead You built the stage—I haunt the unseen Where silence screams louder than what’s between Ink ain’t pretty when it’s pulled from pain Every bar I carve got a ghost in the grain You wrote for kings—I write for the lost Every word paid with a different cost But respect where it’s due—you built the throne I just brought the fire to the ancient stone Now the past and the present stand side by side And the ink still breathes— it just changed its stride. [Bridge – layered voices] (Quilliam – soft) If word be breath, then let it rise… (Flow – low) If truth be buried, let it survive… (Quilliam) Through time’s embrace— (Flow) Through shadow’s side— (Both) The voice endures… it never dies. [Final Verse – Back and forth] (Quilliam) Then let the stage be crowned anew— (Flow) Let ink burn brighter than what they knew— (Quilliam) A poet’s hand still shapes the world— (Flow) Even when the past’s unfurled— (Quilliam) No age can claim dominion true— (Flow) When words cut deeper than they do— (Both) So quill or flow, it’s still the same— We write in fire— They speak our name. [Outro – fading hall echo] Two quills… One voice. Still writing.
