Verse 1:
I watched the heavens dance with flame,
unseen arcs I could not name.
While we gazed at distant stars,
the bullet came without alarm.

Chorus:
When the sky falls — will you hear the sound?
When the sky falls — will you stand your ground?
In the dust, in the dark, in the light that dies,
When the sky falls — none survive who hide.

Verse 2:
The crater blooms where life once stood,
the shockwave breaks the fragile wood.
The oceans burn, the air turns gray,
and famine knits tomorrow’s day.

Bridge (spoken):
They missed it — that bullet from space.
We mapped the stars, but lost our place.
The impact zone — instant death.
The rest — a silent, creeping theft.

Final Chorus:
When the sky falls — will you hear the sound?
When the sky falls — will you stand your ground?
All we made, all we loved, in blinding skies —
When the sky falls — truth will be our cries.

Outro (fading):
The sky falls...
The sky falls...
Silence.

When the Sky Falls

Text:
[Spoken Intro – “Jim’s Awakening”]
Where am I?
The air smells like plastic, the lights don’t flicker — they hum.
Everyone’s eyes are glowing blue…
Did I die — or did the world?

I reach for a match,
but fire’s gone.
There’s only screens now…
and no one burns anymore.

(Soft electric guitar fades in…)

Verse 1:
I woke up in a world of glass and glow,
everyone’s face lit by a screen below.
No one talks, they just scroll and stare,
and I’m standing here — breathing air.

Chorus:
People are stranger now,
colder somehow.
Eyes wide shut in the digital crowd,
People are stranger now.

(solo)

Verse 2:
I walked past ghosts in mirrored halls,
reflections whisper from shopping malls.
I said, “Hey, I’m Jim…” but they laughed it away,
“Who’s Jim?” — “Just another yesterday.”

Spoken Bridge:
They used to sing my songs in firelight,
now their music comes from clouds.
No guitars, no pain, no soul,
just code and ads — too loud.

I met a boy with wires in his head,
he said, “Man, I don’t dream — I download instead.”

(solo)

Chorus (reprise):
People are stranger now,
don’t even know how.
Hearts on mute in a digital crowd,
People are stranger now.

Outro:
Maybe I’m the ghost that stayed too long,
in a world that forgot the song.

Stranger now... stranger now...
(echo fades into analog hiss…)

People Are Stranger Now

Text:
[Verse 1 – Rap]
Scratch in my throat but I still stand tall,
Clock says work — I answer the call.
Cough in the dark, yeah, pain in my lungs,
But the fire inside keeps beating the drums.

They say “stay home, take care, be still,”
But I’m built on motion, forged by will.
No fever, no flame’s gonna take my ground,
I’m the noise when the world wants sound.

[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t break — I’m just wired that way,
Every scar is a reason to stay.

[Chorus – Shouted/Sung]
No fever — I’m still alive!
You can’t kill the fire inside!
I’m torn, I’m tired, but I survive,
No fever — I’m still alive!

(Guitar-solo)

[Verse 2 – Rap]
My voice cracks like static in a storm,
This body’s wrecked but the soul’s still warm.
Sweat drips down like a battle cry,
I’m half awake, but I’ll never die.

You can call it pride, you can call it insane,
But I walk through the ache, through the strain.
I’m not sick, I’m alive, that’s enough for me —
Turn the pain into energy.

[Bridge – Spoken/Screamed]
Don’t tell me to rest — I’ve got work to do!
The weak stay home, the strong push through!

(Guitar-solo)

[Final Chorus – Full Power]
No fever — I’m still alive!
My voice breaks but I’ll never hide!
The grind, the fight, the reason why —
No fever — I’m still alive!

[Outro – Whispered + Distant Screams]
Scratch in my throat…
Still screaming hope.
Still alive… still alive.

No Fever (Still Alive)

Entropic

Runners of the Dawn

Text:
[Verse 1]
They raise their hands, the cameras roll,
Another deal, another show.
Broken hearts behind the frame,
Nothing changed — it’s all the same.

[Pre-Chorus]
And we’re watching from afar,
Counting names beneath the stars.

[Chorus]
Paper peace — signed in smoke,
Empty words for every hope.
You shake their hands, you call it done,
But the war goes on — the war goes on.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
They promise light, we live in gray,
The lost are gone, but they still pray.
The truth is buried under lies,
And tears still fall from watching eyes.

[Bridge – spoken / whispered over cinematic break]
You can free the living,
But not the ghosts.
You can claim the glory,
But who bleeds the most?

(solo)

[Final Chorus]
Paper peace — burned by rain,
We sign again, we die again.
And when the headlines fade to none,
The war goes on — the war goes on.

[Outro]
(whispered) Paper tigers, paper kings... the world still spins beneath their wings.

Paper Peace

Text:
[Verse 1]
I woke up in a dream of gold,
The city’s breathing, young and bold.
The streets still whisper, they know my name,
But I’m not the ghost I used to blame.

[Chorus]
She walks in rhythm, under neon skies,
I see forever in the city of her eyes.
No more shadows, no disguise,
I found my freedom in the city of her eyes.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
She’s not an angel, she’s not a sin,
She’s everything I lost within.
A spark, a smile, a burning sign,
Says, “Welcome back, the world is mine.”

[Bridge – spoken]
I walked these streets before,
with fire in my veins and dust in my soul.
Now I walk them clean —
and the fire’s still there,
but it burns for life.

(solo)

[Final Chorus]
She walks in rhythm, under neon skies,
The city breathes through her lullabies.
No more darkness, no more lies,
I found my heaven in the city of her eyes.

City of Her Eyes

Text:
Verse 1:
You said the stars were ours tonight,
You wrote me poems under neon light.
Your words — sweet velvet knives,
Cutting truth from digital lies.

You called me baby, called me soul,
Played your part, played the role.
But every kiss was just a code,
A golden mask for a heart that’s cold.

Chorus:
Love is a lie — dressed in fire,
Burns you down, builds the pyre.
And I laugh while I cry —
“Greetings to Africa,” goodbye.

(solo)

Verse 2:
You wanted fame, you wanted gold,
A story bought, a heart you sold.
But I’ve seen ghosts behind the screens,
Living off the lonely dreams.

No more chains, no siren song,
I found my truth where I belong.
Your voice fades into static skies,
Another scam in a suit of lies.

Chorus (repeat):
Love is a lie — dressed in fire,
Burns you down, builds the pyre.
And I laugh while I cry —
“Greetings to Africa,” goodbye.

(solo)

Bridge (spoken, with echo fx):
To all the hearts they hunt tonight,
Remember — love doesn’t ask for wire transfers.
It just stays.
It just breathes.

Final Chorus:
Love is a lie — till it’s real,
Scars will fade, hearts will heal.
Now I rise, digital high —
“Greetings to Africa,” goodbye.

Love Is a Lie (Greetings to Africa)

Euphoria

Text:
Verse 1
They built those walls, they climbed those towers,
Now age dissolves their ivory powers.
Their flats will open — gates unguarded,
But what remains when keys discard ed?

They say: “It’s change, it’s coming fast,”
But futures built on past ain’t meant to last.
Empty halls echo unclaimed dreams,
While streets bleed silent in between.

Pre-Chorus
So when the doors swing, who’s left to stand?
Shadowed lives will reclaim their land.

Chorus
It’s no good — when the rich relinquish their hold,
It’s no good — if the new don’t break the mold.
They hand down fortunes, but what do we own?
Empty spaces where souls once roamed.

(solo)

Verse 2
Baby boomers’ keys will fall like leaves,
A shifting tide no one perceives.
New hopes rush in, but filtered by greed,
And hearts shrink small in times of need.

I see the faces pushing in,
They chase a dream that soon wears thin.
Will their faith hold when walls go bare?
Or will it crack with vacant air?

Bridge (spoken / whispered)
“Not another squatter in my name,”
They shout, but their voices sound the same.
Change is silent, slow as dust —
But the land remembers, and hearts combust.

(solo)

Final Chorus
It’s no good — when the rich let go,
It’s no good — if the new don’t grow.
In empty homes and hollow walls —
We fight to hear the human calls.

Outro (soft, echo)
They open doors — but can we cross?
It’s no good…
It’s no good.
