A while back, I found out that music inspired by Promare was a thing... and then I immediately decided I had to join 'em. I decided to make a song inspired by Lio and the Burnish, using similar synth/orchestra structures that Hiroyuki Sawano used when making the Burnish themes.

And then the file containing the instrumental corrupted after it was finished, so I couldn't go back and fix it. T_T It was close enough to done but urrrrgh that stunk. I managed to salvage it and put it together for this release, though!

Gotta give credit where credit is due- some links to my inspo below!

LYRICS:

[Opening Rap]

I woke up to a world so unreal
A reality so distorted, all I could do was feel
The ache in my heart, which I had to heal

We are but humans, the maker of errs
We don’t need to understand divine affairs
Our souls reach out and burn like solar flares

The time for the world’s revolution is now
Everyone here has a right to a crown
No matter what, I won’t let you strike us down

Eyes alight with a fiery gaze,
Our spirits set the battlefield ablaze,
Shimmering in the brilliant haze!

[Verse 1]

This life, forged from fuel and fury
Is more than a flickering in the wind, and I
Dream of a new form of liberty
One where we burn like stars in the night sky

If there ever really was a choice for us,
We’d have much less to discuss, right?

[Chorus]

Eyes alight, burning with fight, and we
Forge new paths that bring us right to
Where we belong

Once again, we think about when
We thought our lives were over
And sing out our power!

Bathed in fire,
Ablaze with glory!

[Verse 2]

This life, bright as a torch,
Is more than a flash in the pan, and I
Dream of a world that we light up
Bright enough to be seen from the night sky - that’s my promise

If there ever really was a choice for us,
We wouldn’t raise our voices, would we now, right?

[Rap section]
Our houses are burning
And all that we’re learning
Is that you’ve got no impulse control

You had the world on a platter
But these illusions I shatter
Tell me you had a different goal

Enough about you, we won’t sit here and take it
We’ve got enough here between us all to make it
Bringing you down is our ultimate goal

Eyes alight with righteous fury
Unleashing all the emotions I’ve buried
Expressing all the fire inside my soul!
