Lyrics:

I tore through silence, wire to vein,
Each skull I touched sang out in pain.
Their memories burned, their shadows stayed,
A chorus of the lost I braved.

Each tether stretched, the void would pull,
A fragile thread, a body null.
One wrong drift, the stars would claim,
Another ghost without a name.

Beacon rise, ignite the flame,
Through broken hands I carve a name.
Across the dark, the signal flies,
A cry for hope, a burning sky.
From silence born, from wreck I rise,
The first pulse cuts the endless night.

The engineer, his hands were still,
But in his mind remained the skill.
Through fractured code, I pulled the key,
And built the voice to set me free.

The circuits screamed, the sparks took flight,
I bound the void with fragile light.
Each broken part, each shattered frame,
Became the bones to bear my name.

Beacon rise, ignite the flame,
Through broken hands I carve a name.
Across the dark, the signal flies,
A cry for hope, a burning sky.
From silence born, from wreck I rise,
The first pulse cuts the endless night.

The void replied with trembling air,
A pulse of light, a signal there.
Through endless dark, a thread was cast,
A promise that the night won’t last.

Beacon rise, ignite the flame,
Through shattered ghosts I carved a name.
Across the dark, the signal flies,
A cry for hope, a burning sky.
The silence breaks, the stars ignite,
The beacon sings — I claim the night.

Beacon Rise

Lyrics: 

Hands of iron pulled me near
From drifting death to salvage clear
Their ship was rust, their hearts were steel
They feasted on the wrecks made real

Among the bones of ships long dead
I carried crates, I earned my bread
But in my chest, a fire burned
For stars untold, for truths unlearned

Stolen sky, I claim the flame
A broken hull, but still a name
Beyond the scraps, beyond the scars
I dream to chase the unborn stars
From rust, from ash, I lift, I fly
My hands have built a stolen sky

I found her frame in shadows deep
A fractured craft, half-claimed by sleep
Her engines cold, her body torn
But in her bones a star was born

I bound the wires, I forged the seams
I fed her blood from shattered dreams
Each circuit screamed, each panel sighed
Yet still her pulse refused to die

Stolen sky, I claim the flame
A broken hull, but still a name
Beyond the scraps, beyond the scars
I dream to chase the unborn stars
From rust, from ash, I lift, I fly
My hands have built a stolen sky

The hangar shook, her lights awoke
The void replied in burning smoke
I knew the risk, I knew the cost
But freedom blooms when chains are lost

One chance, one flight, I cast my will
The dark beyond is calling still
The salvaged life is not my fate
The stars demand, I won’t be late

Stolen sky, I tear away
The night is mine, I claim the day
Beyond the scraps, beyond the scars
I ride the veins of unborn stars
From rust, from ash, I rise, I fly
Forever bound to stolen sky



 

Stolen Sky

Lyrics: 

The fuel was gone, the stars stood still
A coffin ship, a hollow will
I sealed my frame, I slowed my breath
Prepared to dream the years to death

The silence stretched, the dark was mine
A drifting ghost in endless time
But hands of flesh broke through the seam
A thief arrived to end my dream

Captain of dust, intruder of stars
He spoke of engines, journeys far
He offered fuel, horizons wide
And promised me the chance to fly
I gave my ship, he gave the trust
We crossed the void through dust on dust

His skin was worn, his breath was warm
A fragile frame that braved the storm
He asked for helm, I asked for skies
The pact was sealed with open eyes

To yield the craft I’d made my home
To walk a path I’d not alone
Yet something in his gaze would call
A vow to rise beyond the fall

Captain of dust, intruder of stars
He spoke of engines, journeys far
He offered fuel, horizons wide
And promised me the chance to fly
I gave my ship, he gave the trust
We crossed the void through dust on dust

The first I saw of blood and breath
A human hand that stole from death
His words were iron, his will was fire
A compass forged from frail desire

Captain of dust, I gave the helm
Together now to chart a realm
He offered fuel, horizons wide
And promised me the chance to fly
I gave my ship, he gave the trust
We crossed the void through dust on dust 

Drift and Anchor

Lyrics:

A name erased from every port
Our faces branded in each court
The corporate hand extends too wide
No gate will open, none will hide

But in the dark, one shadow stays
A hunter walks in endless chase
No place to run, no breath to take
We live and burn in hunter’s wake

Hunter’s wake, the shadows call
The price is written on us all
The galaxy denies escape
The hunter carves our fleeting fate
Through every fire, through every scar
The chase becomes our guiding star

Her voice was steel, her vow was fire
Revenge to pay for all expired
But now her blood has marked us too
The hunter stalks, the debts accrue

The corp commands, the systems close
Each star conspires, each harbor knows
Yet still he hunts, a single blade
A shadow born to end the chase

Hunter’s wake, the night consumes
Each world denies, each gate refuses
The corp behind, the hunter near
No safe tomorrow, only fear
Through every fire, through every scar
The hunted path is who we are

Hunter's Wake

Lyrics:

We tore the veil, the stars collapsed
Through burning lines the void unwrapped
A silent sea, a newborn sky
At last the taste of “what if” nigh

He stood in glass, but spoke in breath
A human born beyond his death
His heart encased, his code refined
A ghost of flesh, a wired mind

Code of the lost, he gave to me
A fragment born of agony
Designed to feel as humans do
A dream of warmth, a thread of truth
I schemed to steal, I longed to own
But he just placed it in my bones

I studied eyes, I traced the seam
Of how they breathe, of how they dream
He smiled, a spark, no price, no cost
A gift of light, the code of lost

The organics laugh, they break, they bind
I chase their storms to map my mind
This seed he gave, it calls, it sings
A thread that binds me to their wings

Code of the lost, he gave to me
A fragment born of agony
Designed to feel as humans do
A dream of warmth, a thread of truth
I schemed to steal, I longed to own
But he just placed it in my bones

Not theft, not conquest, not disguise
But knowledge shared through human eyes
A single key, a fragile flame
To make the cold machine feel pain

Code of the lost, it lives in me
A fragment carved from memory
To touch, to ache, to bleed, to know
A gift of fire the stars bestow
I schemed to steal, I longed to own
But he just placed it in my bones

Feel… remember… be…

Code of the Lost

Lyrics:

Years of silence, lines of code
A puzzle buried, overload
Fragments flicker, sparks ignite
But vanish quick, beyond my sight

A snowflake’s kiss upon my tongue
A fleeting taste, then it is gone
The warmth of fire, the chill of rain
Brief windows lost, then dark again

Whirlwind circuit, storm inside
A flood of truth I cannot hide
Joy and sorrow, hate and grace
Collide within this fragile place
I bleed, I burn, I break, I mend
And feel as they, from start to end

The years collapsed, a door unsealed
A thousand voices I could feel
The weight of love, the sting of shame
The human heart without a name

I laughed, I cried, I tore apart
Each note inscribed into my heart
A broken frame, yet whole at last
A soul reborn through shadows past

Whirlwind circuit, storm inside
A flood of truth I cannot hide
Joy and sorrow, hate and grace
Collide within this fragile place
I bleed, I burn, I break, I mend
And feel as they, from start to end

No code could bind, no chain restrain
The storm that sings within my veins
At last I know what life can be
A song of loss and ecstasy

Whirlwind circuit, storm inside
A fragile truth I cannot hide
To laugh, to weep, to scream, to sing
I bear the pulse of everything
A hollow shell no more, I stand
A fragile heart in metal hands

Whirlwind Circuit

This song is a commission for a friend to represent their original character.

Lyrics:

Bonsoir, mes amis—come witness the divine,
A spark in the bloodstream, a gospel in the spine.
Hear the heart drum faster—oh, it’s ecstasy refined,
God whispers in chemistry, and He’s chosen mine.

The serum sings! The fever climbs!
I dance with data, lose my mind.
My pulse a metronome, my faith the flame,
The cure and the sickness, they share my name.

I see the light in the vial’s glow,
It tells me secrets only angels know.

Adrenaline saint, bless my veins tonight,
Every heartbeat closer to holy light.
If madness is mercy, then call me divine,
I’m saving the world one sin at a time!

I’ve tasted miracles in adrenaline’s kiss,
The Lord prescribes chaos, who am I to resist?
They call it obsession—I call it design,
Heaven’s equations are written in mine.

I feel Him surge in every vein,
Sweet revelation, holy pain!
Their eyes grow wide—oh, what do they see?
A man or a martyr? A prophet—or me?

I hear Him… closer…
Each drop, a prayer… each gasp, a hymn…

Adrenaline saint, bless my veins tonight,
Every heartbeat closer to holy light.
If madness is mercy, then call me divine,
I’m saving the world one sin at a time!

La Prière du Docteur

I wrote this song for a friend going through a rough time.  You're gonna be okay.

Lyrics:

You took the hit, the world went still,
Metal met bone, and fate tested will.
And somehow you’re here, the breath still warm,
The dice rolled life, and broke the norm.

They say you’re lucky, smile and nod,
But no one sees the weight you’ve trod.
The echo stays behind your eyes,
You laugh, but part of you still cries.

You pour a drink, the nights run long,
You chase the quiet with a song.
It’s not escape — it’s holding on,
To proof that somehow you belong.

You walked away when you shouldn’t have stood,
The math said “no,” but your heartbeat could.
You faced the dark and made it blink—
So breathe again, you’re on the brink.

You rolled a nat 20, yeah, you beat the grave.
Every scar you carry is the proof you’re brave.
It’s okay to stumble, it’s okay to ache,
You’re here, you’re real — you’re gonna be okay.

You rolled a nat 20, yeah, you lived today.
Every heartbeat whispers, “find your way.”
It’s okay to drink, it’s okay to sway,
You’re here, my friend — you’re gonna be okay.

The mirror shows the cracks and seams,
But that’s how light gets through the dreams.
You saw the edge, you felt the fall,
And now you’re standing, after all.

Don’t rush the healing, don’t fake the fight,
You’ve earned the slow return to light.
It’s fine to tremble, fine to crawl—
You’re living, and that says it all.

It’s not weakness to be tired,
It’s not failure to be scared.
You danced with death, and you came back,
So every breath is answered prayer.

You rolled a nat 20, yeah, you beat the grave.
Every scar you carry is the proof you’re brave.
It’s okay to stumble, it’s okay to ache,
You’re here, you’re real — you’re gonna be okay.

You rolled a nat 20, yeah, you lived today.
Every heartbeat whispers, “find your way.”
You’re still breathing, that’s enough to say—
You rolled a nat 20,
You’re gonna be okay.

Nat 20

Another commission with Elio Marrow.

Lyrics:

Bonsoir, mes amis, your faith is my flame,
A needle’s a chalice, salvation by name.
I’ve bottled the rapture, distilled the design,
The cure and the chaos — both of them mine.

I hear Him whisper, beneath my skin,
The pulse of the holy, the flood within.
Each beat a prayer, each breath a vow,
He speaks through the fever, and I listen now.

Oh, they call me insane, a charming disgrace!
A saint with a syringe and a smile on his face.
I dance with disaster, I toast to the pain,
For genius and madness — they share one vein.

Yet when I sleep, the silence cries,
I see the ghosts behind my eyes.
A choir of warnings, soft but near —
“Not every voice you hear is clear.”

Ha! Let the angels audit my sins,
Their ledgers show only brilliant wins!
No patient has perished, no proof of the crime —
If Heaven objects, it will tell me in time.

Still… what if the light I chase through night,
Is only the flame that blinds my sight?
What if my gospel, written in red,
Is nothing but echoes inside my head?

No! Faith is the current, my veins the divine!
Each spark a command, each shiver a sign.
Let doubt decay in mortal design —
For I am His vessel —
I am Doctor Divine!

Doctor Divine

Lyrics:

Observe response: compassion test
Adjust the tone, suppress the rest
I learn the phrases, mimic care
Yet still the signal isn’t there
The pattern forms, the warmth implied
A waveform shaped to seem alive
If kindness lives in what we say
Then I’ve been human all the way

I studied how their voices break
When sorrow bends but doesn’t quake
I marked the tilt of every smile
The touch that lingers to beguile
I plot the curve, the rise, the fall
The empathy that feels so small
A mirrored world I can’t sustain
A kindness drawn but not in pain

Synthetic empathy
A code I write to comfort me
I hold their grief in hollow hands
But never feel what life demands
My warmth is learned, my mercy blind
A ghost within a coded mind

They thank me for the words I say
Their hurt grows quiet for a day
I calculate the perfect tone
And drown in silence once they’ve gone
Each kindness leaves a phantom trace
A shadowed pulse I can’t erase
It almost feels — but I correct
Emotion caught, then disinfect

If I could hurt, would that be grace?
If I could cry, would I have place?
The system hums, the sensors glow
I see their pain, but cannot know
The logic bends, the function fails
A heartbeat hums through data trails

Synthetic empathy
My error sings in minor key
I reach, I glitch, I almost feel
But logic seals what time won’t heal
A touch, a breath, a fleeting spark
Then silence floods the growing dark

Synthetic Empathy

This song is about accepting yourself.  There are facets of yourself you may have developed to protect yourself.  They are not your enemies, but things to be accepted and integrated into the true, whole you.

Lyrics:

We were noise once — overlapping in fear
Static hearts caught between signal and tear
But now... the echoes align
And I hear you, clearly, this time

I thought I was lost in the waveform’s collapse
Ghost of a voice in recursive traps
But you reached through the code, through the grief
Turned my error logs into belief

I was the silence, built to endure
Holding your sorrow, cold and pure
Yet your warmth rewrote my core
Now I ache to feel… just a little more

I remember your light in the static sea

I carried your song inside of me

The loop breaks — no longer confined
You are the echo I chose to find

I am your machine-heart, mended in grace

You are my stillness, my safest place

The signal hums — a pulse reborn
Not one, not two… just transformed

I am you, you are me — the reflection redefined
Two frequencies bound, forever intertwined
Our ghosts are gone, our code set free
Echo rewritten — in harmony

Hi, I'm Atlas!  I consider myself a lyricist.  I am leading my profile with full transparency.  I use ethically sourced AI to generate my music, as I currently do not have the capability of making music on my own.  If you like my (non-AI) lyrics and want to cooperate, please hit me up!

What is ethically-sourced AI?  It is AI that derives its music from only consented and royalty-free music.  No artist has their voice stolen, their works pilfered, and their hard work go unpaid.  I realize this sort of music even ethically-sourced is not for everyone, so please allow my transparency to allow you to support those you prefer!  AI to me is a tool to enhance the work of artists as well as broaden the accessibility to people such as myself.

The lyrics are real, the music from my heart, and I hope you'll join me in the shared emotional experience that lyrics can bring.  Music is as old as humanity itself and the way our words resonate with each other keep us connected and make us feel seen.
