hhhhhaaaaaaaahhaaaaaaaahhaaahaaa
Verse 1
We thought it was the apes, the way they look and learn,
Dolphins dancing through the waves, their minds do twist and turn,
Birds that speak in riddles, with feathers black as night,
But who will rise when we're no more, and take our place in sight?

Chorus
Who comes next? The answer’s hidden deep,
Not in the skies or ocean’s sweep,
They’ve got the brains, the ink, the key,
The Kraken waits beneath the sea.

hhhhhaaaaaaaahhaaaaaaaahhaaahaaa
Verse 2
We saw the apes with Caesar’s eyes, so sharp and full of rage,
Dolphins speaking mysteries, and ravens turning pages,
But through the depths where shadows glide, a secret sleeps so tight,
A creature lurking, quiet, wise, will claim the final light.

Chorus
Who comes next? The answer’s hidden deep,
Not in the skies or ocean’s sweep,
They’ve got the brains, the ink, the key,
The Kraken waits beneath the sea.

hhhhhaaaaaaaahhaaaaaaaahhaaahaaa
Bridge
The Kraken’s mind is vast, unknown,
In oceans dark, it’s overthrown,
The chains of time, the myths untold,
Its ink shall spread, its thoughts unfold.

(Guitar-solo)

Chorus
Who comes next? The answer’s hidden deep,
Not in the skies or ocean’s sweep,
They’ve got the brains, the ink, the key,
The Kraken waits beneath the sea.

Outro
Who would have thought after the Rex,
A naked ape would rise and flex?
But as we fall, a truth unspun,
The Kraken waits... the real hunt’s just begun.

Who Comes Next?

(Intro Spoken Word)
"This is for the voice that gave a generation words to bleed with.
For the man who screamed what we couldn’t say.
you were never alone – and we still hear you."

[SING:]
I played a thousand stages,
Heard the crowd scream out my name.
But in the mirror of my silence,
I never looked the same.

I held the hands of angels,
And still felt cold inside.
I smiled when they were watching,
But I was dying in disguise.

[SING – PRE-CHORUS:]
All this light around me,
Still I couldn't see.
I gave the world my everything…
But lost the rest of me.

[SCREAM – DEMON:]
YOU’RE NOTHING!
(YOU NEVER WERE ENOUGH!)
YOU’RE BROKEN!
(AND FAKING LOVE IS TOUGH!)
THEY SEE A STAR —
BUT I SEE A GRAVE!
NO ONE CAN SAVE YOU,
NOT EVEN FAME!

[SING – CHORUS:]
Can someone hear me in this noise?
I’m drowning in the cheers.
I sang for hope, I sang for life —
But no one hears my tears.

They say I had it all,
But I just wanted peace.
The louder the applause,
The less I felt released.

[RAP:]
I hid behind the music,
Like it was bulletproof.
But lyrics can't protect you
When your mind forgets the truth.

I wrote my pain in verses,
I screamed it on the mic,
But depression wears a mask
That looks like “I’m alright.”

[SING – BRIDGE:]
And now the lights are fading,
The curtain starts to fall…
If you still hear my voice,
Please, hear it all:

(Guitar-Solo)

[SCREAM – DEMON (LAST FIGHT):]
YOU LIED TO THEM!
(AND SMILED WHILE YOU BLED!)
YOU PROMISED THEM HOPE —
BUT YOU’RE DEAD, YOU’RE DEAD!

[SING – FINAL CHORUS:]
I gave you songs to hold onto,
When I couldn’t hold myself.
I screamed so you could heal,
While I was screaming for help.

This pain… it wasn’t yours to see —
But it swallowed everything in me.
I’m sorry that I couldn’t stay...
I hope you find your way.

Empty Rooms

Text:
[VERSE 1]
Long before our skies turned blue,
Before the Earth had claimed her name,
Two dying stars began to dance,
Colliding in a burst of flame.
From their ashes, shining dust —
Atoms forged in endless trust.
A single spark from heaven's cold —
That's how we were given gold.

[PRE-CHORUS]
Not born in mines or buried deep,
But sown where dying giants sleep.
A cosmic echo, bright and bold —
That’s the truth of every gold.

[CHORUS]
We wear the fire of broken stars,
On fingers, necks, in armored cars.
But do we see the price it cost —
The light, the time, the lives it lost?
Gold — not just wealth, but history,
The universe in mystery.
From chaos came this shining scar:
Gold, born in the fire of stars.

[VERSE 2]
Kings and thieves have chased its gleam,
Built their empires, killed their dreams.
But none could claim, nor understand —
It came from far beyond this land.
It doesn’t rust, it doesn’t fade,
Because it's not of Earthly shade —
It is the echo of a scream,
A stellar death turned to a gleam.

(Saxophne-Solo)

[BRIDGE – SPOKEN or RAP:]
You hold it close, but it’s not yours.
It's older than our wars, our shores.
Gold was born while we were dust —
It never needed mortal trust.

[CHORUS – REPEAT with HIGH ENERGY]
We wear the fire of broken stars,
On fingers, necks, in armored cars.
But do we know what lies beneath —
The silent songs of cosmic grief?
Gold — a gift from galaxies,
Not meant for greed or boundaries.
From chaos came this shining scar:
Gold, born in the fire of stars.

[OUTRO – Soft Whisper:]
So next time it glows in your hand…
Remember where it truly began.

Born in the Fire of Stars

Text:
[VERSE 1 – RAP]
Yo, she got that mango kiss,
Strawberry mist on her lips,
Clouds in the air, yeah it looks so slick,
But no one told her that this hit’s thick.
20 milligrams in a pretty shell,
Feels like heaven, built like hell.
Kiwi dreams with a plastic glow,
Now she needs it just to feel slow.

[HOOK – SING]
It’s not a game, it’s not a show,
Just ‘cause it’s sweet don’t mean you know.
You’re breathing fire in disguise,
With every hit, a part of you dies.
You’re not flying, you’re falling fast,
Cool won’t cover a future that’s cracked.
It ain’t love, it’s just a trap —
Sweet poison in a pretty wrap.
[Scream]
You call it market — we call it MURDER.
All for money, all for gain —
While lungs collapse and hearts complain.

[VERSE 2 – RAP]
Started with “just one puff,”
Now every hour’s not enough.
Waking up with your chest too tight,
But it’s strawberry, so it feels all right?
Nah.
You’re chasing clouds, but losing air,
Your heart’s not cool, it’s fighting fair.
Blood can’t flow when your veins are thin,
Nicotine’s the snake — and it always wins.

(Guitar-Solo)

[BRIDGE – SPOKEN / LOW RAP]
You think you’re in control,
But it’s already taken toll.
I got vessel walls that scream,
From choices I made at seventeen.
Don’t end up like me, on meds, in pain,
For a buzz that’s short, but scars remain.

[HOOK – REPEAT + FINAL CALL]
It’s not a game, it’s not a show,
Just ‘cause it’s sweet don’t mean you know.
You’re breathing fire in disguise,
With every hit, a part of you dies.
Don’t let flavors write your fate —
You're not too young to walk away.
Sweet poison’s knocking — don’t let it in.
Real cool? That's choosing to win.
[HOOK – Scream]
You call it market — we call it MURDER.
All for money, all for gain —
While lungs collapse and hearts complain.

[OUTRO – SPOKEN / SCREAM / LOW RAP]
You dress it up in mango haze,
In neon lights and teenage praise.
But we see you — wolves in gloss,
Selling death at candy cost.

This ain’t business, this is war.
You kill our kids, then ask for more.

You call it market — we call it MURDER.

All for money, all for gain —
While lungs collapse and hearts complain.

You’ve had your throne, you’ve had your time —
But now we rise and draw the line.

Your empire's built on broken breath —
We won’t be loyal to your death.

Sweet Poison (A Vape Story)

Text:
[Verse 1]
In desert wind and fading light,
They found it buried out of sight.
A name, a line — a voice from dust,
A thousand years of silent trust.
The past reached out through sand and time,
A fragile thread, a sacred line.
But what they held, the world would take,
And turn to fire, for profit's sake.

[Chorus]
The scroll, it whispered truth so small,
But shook the greed of empires tall.
They thought they'd found a gift to share,
Instead came shadows, knives, and stares.
For every name that history saves,
Another hides, or digs their grave.

[Verse 2]
No golden prize, no scholars' grace,
Just silence now and hiding place.
Two men who dared to hold the past,
Now live each day as if their last.
They saw not treasure, but a tale —
Of lives once lived beyond the veil.
But secrets kept in ancient ink
Are dangerous, more than you think.

[Chorus]
The scroll, it whispered truth so small,
But shook the greed of empires tall.
They thought they'd found a gift to share,
Instead came shadows, knives, and stares.
For every word that speaks the light,
There’s someone praying it stays night.

(Guitar-Solo)

[Bridge]
And still that paper breathes with grace,
Though time and threat may chase its face.
What’s history worth if fear must guard
Each story carved on something scarred?

[Outro]
So if you find the past one day,
Think twice before you lift the clay.
For truth is not just what it shows —
It’s who it angers, and who it knows.

The Scroll

Text:
[Verse 1]
Two nations, one border, one scar in the land,
Divided by silence, by grief and by sand.
You speak of honor, you speak of pride,
But what of the children who run and hide?
Flags waving high while the sirens scream,
And peace fades out like a broken dream.

[Chorus]
This is one spark too much,
One step too far,
Two hands on the button,
Under the same star.
You can't unburn the sky,
You can't unsound the drum —
When the fire falls,
No anthem makes us one.

Leaders of India and Pakistan,
pause and feel the weight of your hands.
Before you draw new battle lines,
think of your children and their time.
The future watches what you choose —
build a world, or let it bruise.

[Verse 2]
Kashmir weeps in the mountain air,
While leaders shout from golden chairs.
You build your walls, you count your might,
But forget the cost of a single night.
One flash, one code, one deadly sound —
And all we've built falls to the ground.

[Chorus – repeat]
This is one spark too much,
One step too far,
Two hands on the button,
Under the same star.
You can't unburn the sky,
You can't unsound the drum —
When the fire falls,
No anthem makes us one.

Leaders of India and Pakistan,
pause and feel the weight of your hands.
Before you draw new battle lines,
think of your children and their time.
The future watches what you choose —
build a world, or let it bruise.

(Guitar-Solo)

[Bridge – soft, haunting]
Mothers don't birth enemies,
Maps don't cry when borders bleed.
But sons and daughters pay the price,
For every line drawn out of spite.

[Outro – fading]
Let this not be how it ends,
Ashes don’t make better men.
Lay the weapons, raise your eyes —
Peace is the only war worth to fight.

Leaders of India and Pakistan,
hear that Song.....

The Kashmir Incident

Text:
don't stop it, don't stop it, don't stop it, don't stop Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope,

[Verse 1]
You sit in gold and speak of fate,
With every tweet, you seal a gate.
While we reach out to stars unknown,
You drag the light back to your throne.
This dream was built by hands and minds,
Not party lines or angry signs.

[Chorus]
Don’t kill the sky, don’t clip our wings,
The universe was made to sing.
We send our hopes on silver flame,
While you just gamble with the name.
It’s not your stars to stall or sell —
You chain the future in your shell.

don't stop it, don't stop it, don't stop it, don't stop Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope,
[Verse 2]
A thousand mirrors wait in line,
To show us who we are in time.
Not gods, not kings, but dust that dares —
To wonder what beyond compares.
And just because you cannot see,
Doesn’t mean it shouldn't be.

[Chorus – repeat]
Don’t kill the sky, don’t clip our wings,
The universe was made to sing.
We send our hopes on silver flame,
While you just gamble with the name.
It’s not your stars to stall or sell —
You chain the future in your shell.

(solo)

don't stop it, don't stop it, don't stop it, don't stop Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope,
[Bridge – intensifying]
We are not blind, we are not slow,
We build where narrow minds won’t go.
We launch the truth into the night —
And hope survives beyond your spite.

[Outro – soft, echoing]
So let the telescope arise,
Let wonder live behind our eyes.
One man can’t stop a galaxy —
We reach, we rise, we still believe.

Don’t Kill the Sky

Text:
[Verse 1]
I'm not good enough for you —
you say it without words, just looks that bruise.
Plates crash like thunder through the room,
your voice a storm I can't undo.
The knives don't cut, but still I bleed,
in every shout, I lose a piece of me.

[Pre-Chorus]
Fear's in the air, I can't breathe in,
you throw your anger like it's skin.
I never meant to be your war,
but that's what I am — nothing more.

[Chorus]
I'm not good enough for you,
you argue and yell like it's all I do.
The silence after says much more —
I'm breaking down behind closed doors.
Maybe it's time we face the truth...
We're just too broken to make it through.

[Verse 2]
Your words, they twist into blame,
but the man you fight — he’s not my name.
You never saw the heart I hide,
you only see your wounded pride.
I cried last night, but you were gone,
chasing ghosts till the break of dawn.

[Pre-Chorus]
I hate this war, this bitter fight,
I hate who we become at night.
Can’t fix what keeps on tearing down —
maybe it’s time we stop this now.

[Chorus – repeat]
I'm not good enough for you,
you argue and yell like it's all I do.
The silence after says much more —
I'm breaking down behind closed doors.
Maybe it's time we face the truth...
We're just too broken to make it through.

(Solo)

[Bridge – soft, aching]
Let’s go our separate ways,
peace is better than what hate betrays.
You didn’t see me as I am,
and I can’t keep pretending again.

[Final Chorus – fragile, fading, cry]
I'm not good enough for you,
and maybe you're not for me too.
I’ll take the pieces, heal the cracks —
but I won’t come crawling back.
No more shouting in empty rooms...
Just silence now — and space to bloom.

I'm Not Good Enough for You

Text:
[Intro – Rap]
1945, the silence fell —
guns went down, bombs gave hell.
Nazis crushed, the war was done,
but peace? It barely had begun.
We swore: “Never again,” they said,
but blood kept pouring, oceans red.

[Verse 1 – Rap]
Korea burned in frozen mud,
Vietnam choked on jungle blood.
Deserts lit by oil and fire —
Gulf to Fallujah, funeral pyres.
One day ends, the next one bleeds,
they plant the flags, but not the seeds.
World peace is bad for business plans,
so we trade hope for gun-filled hands.

[Pre-Chorus – sing]
Every year, we light a flame,
but no one's asking why we play this game.
The dead don't march, but still they grow —
a list too long to ever know.

[Chorus – scream]
Eighty years, and still we fight!
No peace in day, just war at night!
Built on tanks, on fear, on pain —
we burn the truth to feed the flame!
Why can't we celebrate peace instead?
Just tombstones rising for the dead!

[Verse 2 – Rap]
You wanna talk “freedom,” “order,” “might”?
Then ask the kids who died last night.
We make new weapons, faster, clean —
a billion bucks to paint war green.
Africa cries, the East is torn,
while headlines feed us lies each morn’.
We teach the past, but never learn —
we watch the whole world crash and burn.

[Bridge – sing]
We thank the ones who stood and fought,
who broke the Reich, who gave all they got...
But they died for peace — not this parade
of bullets made in the debt we trade!
[scream]
We’re apes in suits, with blood-stained hands —
a tower built on shifting sands!
If peace arrived, the mask would fall —
our world’s not built for peace at all!

(Guitar-Solo)

[Final Chorus – sing]
Eighty years, and still no rest!
Just nations pounding on their chest!
[scream]
Can’t we stop the endless spin —
and let real human life begin?
Where’s the silence we were promised then?
Or do we start again and again… and again…?

[Outro – spoken, quiet]
80 years later.
We thank you… for the end of fascism.
But we’re still waiting…
for peace.

80 Years Later

Text:
[Verse 1]
Morning light on ancient stone,
the market hums, the children roam.
A quiet prayer, a simple day —
no one sees the sky turn gray.

Smoke curls high from sacred mount,
but no one dares to count the count.
The gods are watching, silent, still...
Then comes the roar, the crushing will.

[Pre-Chorus]
We ran through streets of fire and screams,
choked on ash, let go of dreams.
A father’s hand, a mother’s cry —
we only had one word: survive.

[Chorus]
Now we are ashes under stone,
frozen where the light had shone.
Our love remains in shapes of dust,
our final breath, betrayed by trust.
Pompeii fell in just one day —
and still the world just walks away.

[Verse 2]
I held you tight, your hand in mine,
your eyes still calm — “we’ll be just fine.”
But gods don't weep, and fate won’t bend,
the mountain speaks — it’s now the end.

The heat, it roared, the dark, it screamed,
the world went blind, the silence gleamed.
Our home became a grave so wide,
but still we clung — side by side.

[Bridge – emotional peak]
If you dig beneath the stone,
you’ll find a family, turned to bone.
But look again — we stayed as one,
as skies went black, we didn’t run.
We hoped, we fought, we held our breath —
but nothing outruns molten death.

[Chorus – repeat with added harmony]
Now we are ashes under stone,
frozen where the light had shone.
Our love remains in shapes of dust,
our final breath, betrayed by trust.
Pompeii fell in just one day —
and still the world just walks away.

[Outro – fading, soft]
So if you ever feel alone...
Remember us, beneath the stone.
Love endures through death’s disguise —
in Pompeii’s ruins, a soul still cries.

Ashes of Pompeii

Text:
[Verse]
There was an old man on the train
He was dressed like a young man
He said "I am a young man"
Then he showed me his arms

[Chorus]
He said "I got these when I was in Vietnam
I did a lot of things that I regret
I got a lot of scars you don't see"
I said "There's no such thing as evil"
And he said "There's no such thing as good"

[Verse]
There was a young girl on the plane
She was dressed like an old girl
She said "I am an old girl"
Then she showed me her teeth

[Chorus]
She said "I got these when I was in Moscow
I did a lot of things that I regret
I got a lot of scars you don't see"
I said "There's no such thing as evil"
And she said "There's no such thing as good"

(Solo)

[Bridge]
So I wrote a song for you
And you liked it

[Verse]
There was a young girl on the train
She was dressed like an old girl
She said "I am an old girl"
Then she showed me her arms
