This work is a dramatized reflection set after an atomic apocalypse, in which the surviving children—the last ungoverned generation—refuse the restoration of old systems, hierarchies, or imposed leadership. Having inherited the ruins of those who destroyed themselves, they sing not of despair but of renewal, rejecting the concept of rulers, presidents, and teachers as instruments of control. Their collective voice rises from the ashes, declaring a new path of independence and unity, unmarred by manipulation, war, or administrative domination.

From the debris, from the fall,
We rise again and we heed the call.
No more mistakes, we’ve paid the price,
From ashes born, we roll the dice.
We are the children, the ones left behind,
Abandoned by those who destroyed their own kind.

And I wonder if we’ll ever change our ways,
Living in fear till the end of days.

We don’t need a stand-in to be our Hero,
We have no need to learn the path back.
Our hearts still burn through all the sorrow,
All we want is life beyond tomorrow.

We’re searching for truth that we can hold,
In a world gone dim, where hearts grow cold.
Love and mercy, they’re drawing near,
The age of light will soon appear.
Everything false will fade and die,
Like clouds dissolving in the sky.

And I wonder if we’ll ever change our ways,
Living in fear till the end of days.

Every child declares with hope to follow,
We don’t need a stand-in to be our Hero.
Our hearts still burn through all the sorrow,
All we want is life beyond tomorrow.

How do we shape the lives we lead,
Planting the roots of a brand-new seed?
Will our story shine or fade away,
Or light the dark with a brighter day?
Give all you are, or not at all,
Rise to your feet, refuse to fall.

We don’t need a stand-in to be our Hero,
We have no need to learn the path back.
Our hearts still burn through all the sorrow,
All we want is life beyond tomorrow.

From deep within, our strength awakes,
Through storm and fire, the spirit shakes.
No chain can bind, no wall contain,
We rise again from loss and pain.
Through every trial, through every scar,
We find out who we truly are.

And I wonder when we’ll claim our power,
To bloom in chaos, in the darkest hour.

We don’t need a stand-in to be our Hero,
We have no need to learn the path back.
Our hearts still burn through all the sorrow,
All we want is life beyond tomorrow.

Defying the whispers that speak of fall,
We stand together, we conquer all.
We fight through shadows, break the chain,
Turn despair into strength again.
Hope is the spark, the flame we keep,
Awakening hearts that once fell asleep.

And I wonder when we’ll claim our power,
To bloom in chaos, in the darkest hour.

Every voice echoes with strength to follow,
We don’t need a stand-in to be our Hero.
Our hearts still burn through all the sorrow,
All we want is life beyond tomorrow.



Life Beyond Tomorrow

The glitch has been weaponized.

There it is. My "Bugfix" is officially live. This is a high energy anthem from the upcoming album "Rereplay Lvl2" representing the sound of the grind and the correction of the code.

To move forward we must optimize the source. That is why "Rereplay Lvl1.5" is dropping at the same time. Think of it as the ultimate bugfix for Lvl1. I am revisiting the roots and refreshing the foundation.

Both projects release simultaneously to mark the grand finale of my first year in the game.
Two levels. One mission. The Play never ends.

Stay tuned.
