[Intro – lo-fi crackle, crooner whisper]
Neon fades… streets run cold,
Courier stands where the story’s told.
City sleeps with a wound so deep,
Monsters gone, but shadows keep.
[Verse 1 – slow rap, heavy atmosphere]
Skyscrapers cracked, billboards dead,
Rain dried up but the streets still bled.
Nyra’s song lingers soft and low,
Her echo the only voice I know.
Kaelith’s roar is silent now,
The Queen still reigns but I don’t bow.
Dr. Vox whispers from the static haze,
But his code just fades in the city’s maze.
[Pre-Chorus – glitch echo]
Every scar the city wears,
Every silence says it cares.
[Chorus – cinematic swell]
Exit wound, the city sleeps,
Every secret the skyline keeps.
Courier walks, the rain is gone,
But the beat of the night lives on.
Exit wound, a final breath,
Life survives in the face of death.
Neon dim, but I still roam,
Courier’s rhythm — I’m going home.
[Verse 2 – rap with solemn flow]
Clubs burned out, monsters slain,
But the city’s pulse will rise again.
Nyra’s ghost sings in alleyways,
Her song a lantern through the haze.
Kaelith gone where shadows creep,
His loyalty buried six feet deep.
The Queen still smiles from a throne unseen,
Her crown untouched, her power keen.
[Bridge – crooner overlay + orchestral swell]
Still I play though the stage is bare,
Still I breathe though no one’s there.
Exit wound, my soul’s not free,
But the song still beats inside of me.
[jazz solo – mournful saxophone]
[Chorus – extended, cinematic trance]
Exit wound, the city sleeps,
Every secret the skyline keeps.
Courier walks, the rain is gone,
But the beat of the night lives on.
Exit wound, a final breath,
Life survives in the face of death.
Neon dim, but I still roam,
Courier’s rhythm — I’m going home.
[Outro – lo-fi fade, crooner whisper]
(City sleeps… rhythm stays…)
Courier lives… another day.
