Chapter III - Downfall

Under the Burning Skies

They Will Arrive

"Blueprint in the Blood" explores the philosophical tension between inherited destiny and personal agency, framed through a primal lens of genetics, evolution, and self-determination. At its core, it's a defiant anthem about recognizing the "blueprint" etched into our DNA—our biological and ancestral wiring—as both a foundation and a limitation, while celebrating the raw power of choice to rewrite and transcend it.

Blueprint in the Blood

More Yesterdays Than Tomorrows

LYRICS:
Croak in the shadows
Coak in the heat
Something’s coming up — 

Frogs in the street

Rain hits the pavement
Banners in the sky
Croak for tomorrow
Leap for a lie

Frogs don’t freeze
We rise from the mud
Every ribbit’s a warning
A positive flood

Portland Nights
Got the rhythm
Got the spark
Paint on the walls
Singing loud in the dark

Cycle of change 
In the echo of our feet
Prophecy croaks — 

Frogs in the street

Frogs in the street! 
Rebirth in the riot
Frogs in the street! 
No peace
We won’t quiet

From the mud we leap
From the storm we speak
The sign is alive — 

Frogs in the street!  

Green little prophets on a city block
Croakin’ out freedom
Tickin’ like a clock

Luck in the air
Omens in the rain
Croak against the system
Croak against the chain

They say “law and order"
We say “ribbit, please"  
Comedy strikes harder 
Than gas clouds sting

The future’s amphibian
You can hear it repeat
A thousand voices — 

Frogs in the street!

ICE… ICE… BABY 
ICE… ICE… BABY 
ICE… ICE… BABY 
ICE… ICE… BABY 

Yo Frog check it
Freaky Frog ribbit
Leap to the mic 
And the crowd gets with it

ICE on patrol
But we hop
Don’t stop
Croakin’ revolution 
On the Portland block

Stop, listen — 
Hear that croak
Truth in the joke 
And the joke is woke

From the pond to the protest
Frogs unite
Comedy’s the weapon 
And the future’s bright

ICE… ICE… BABY 
ICE… ICE… BABY
ICE… ICE… BABY

Ribbit real loud
Let the city shake
Rebirth croaks 
Make the power quake
They got cages
But frogs got feet
Leaping over fences — 
Frogs in the street!  

ICE… ICE… BABY
ICE… ICE… BABY
ICE… ICE… BABY

Luck’s on our side
Future’s in reach
Croakin’ out wisdom 
That the schools can’t teach

You can’t drown a chorus
Can’t freeze the beat
Better watch your back — 

Frogs in the street!  

Frogs in the street! 
Rebirth in the riot
Frogs in the street! 
No peace
We won’t quiet

From the mud we leap
From the storm we speak
The sign is alive — 

Frogs in the street!  

ICE… ICE… 
ICE… ICE…
ICE… ICE… 
FROG

Frogs in the street!
