3. Burn-Run

V5

[Verse 1] Tyres screaming on the mag-lev floor They’re kicking down the basement door Adrenaline spike, a chemical rush The sound of the world about to crush I’ve got the drive tucked under my vest No time for fear, no time for rest. [Verse 2] The interceptors are closing the gap I’m caught in a neon-lit, high-speed trap Flash-bangs popping in the alleyway grime I’m running on instinct, I’m running on time The HUD is flashing a "System Failure" warning I won’t make it to the light of the morning. [Chorus] Burn-run, leave the lights behind They want the ghost, they want my mind Zeroed in on a dead-man’s trail Gotta break the lock, gotta break the jail Pedal to the floor in a rain of lead Better to be fast than to be dead! [Verse 3] I swerve through the market, the vendors scatter The laws of the city no longer matter They’re firing tracers that light up the dark Missing my skull by a flickering spark But Lyra is speaking, guiding my hand A digital map of this broken land. [Bridge] [Aggressive Guitar Solo - Chaotic and screechy] Shift the gear! Blow the gate! I’m the master of my own fate! [Chorus] Burn-run, leave the lights behind They want the ghost, they want my mind Zeroed in on a dead-man’s trail Gotta break the lock, gotta break the jail! [Outro] I’m in the clear... for now. [Sound of a car engine cooling down]
