[Verse 1] Neon spills on ancient stone Drones hum prayers through shattered chrome Minarets with fiber veins Data ghosts in midnight rain From Galata down to Kadıköy Every deal’s a loaded toy Megacorp lies, saints and thieves We run the cracks they don’t believe [Pre-Chorus] Call to prayer meets synthwave hum Steel and spirit beat as one If the city wants you dead We answer first instead [Chorus] Neon over the Bosphorus Shadows moving anonymous Claws and fangs and chrome and bone This city’s never yours alone Neon over the Bosphorus Blood and data, sacred rust When the corps think they own the night We remind them who can bite [Verse 2] Brutus calls the restless dead Spirits whisper who fled red Bones don’t lie, the guilty scream Justice stitched from blood and dream Morgan smiles, safety off Silver tongue, then gunshot cough Laughs his way past armed debate Charisma’s just another plate [Pre-Chorus] Badges break and leashes snap Old masters lose the map When the hunt comes snarling fast We hunt back — and harder last [Chorus] Neon over the Bosphorus Shadows moving anonymous Claws and fangs and chrome and bone This city’s never yours alone Neon over the Bosphorus Blood and data, sacred rust When the corps think they own the night We remind them who can bite [Bridge] McGruff laughs with jaws of steel Heads come off — that’s how it feels Elon dreams of soil and peace Hope that corporate borders cease Bruce walks clean through marble halls Smiles like he believes it all Kaito slips where eyes don’t go Armor humming, soft and low [Breakdown] Ancient gods and modern greed Same old hunger, new machine You can own the sky and sea But the streets still belong to we [Final Chorus] Neon over the Bosphorus Run the lines they can’t adjust From the slums to towers bright We survive another night Neon over the Bosphorus Claws in code and spells in trust Ghosts, guns, teeth, and cyberlight Istanbul remembers us [Outro] Call to prayer, last train home Sirens sing in major chrome If you’re hunted, if you’re lost Find us where the shadows cross
