Runes in Neon Rain (version 2)

Verse

Six stories down the city hums through concrete skin

Iron streets where the old gods hide again

Bones of kings beneath the chrome-cut sky

Racing engines lowing, breath like smoke and fire

Every window glowing neon runes inside

I am running on the pulse of ancient blood

Feet are pounding to a rhythm long since dead

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it calling down through steel

Something old and restless in the wheel

I don't know what it's asking for today

Only that I run until the dawn breaks gray

Chorus

Runes in neon rain, running till the lights come up

Feet on fire beneath a city never enough

Every beat is blood beneath my skin tonight

Till the sun climbs over concrete and we're gone out of sight

Verse 2

Concrete rivers that the old ones built to stay

Glowing like veins where shadows feed the day

Bass in my chest answering every heartbeat's call

Every face I pass is a stranger wearing all

Of me tonight, every shadow with my name

Erased and written fresh again with every step I take

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it calling down through steel

Something old and restless in the wheel

I don't know what it's asking for today

Only that I run until the dawn breaks gray

Chorus

Runes in neon rain, running till the lights come up

Feet on fire beneath a city never enough

Every beat is blood beneath my skin tonight

Till the sun climbs over concrete and we're gone out of sight

Bridge

Maybe this is how the gods stay alive

Under every street where the old ones thrive

I don't ask what it's for, I just obey the sound

Because running till the dawn is all I know, all I can do

Chorus

Runes in neon rain, running till the lights come up

Feet on fire beneath a city never enough

Every beat is blood beneath my skin tonight

Till the sun climbs over concrete and we're gone out of sight
