About

Two raids, one enemy, and a love that outlived the man. A song told from inside the storm: the first assault to save her — and losing her anyway. The second one ten years later — bringing the sun down on the tower. And in the end, all he ever owed her was not a war, but a night at the drive-in. Inspired by Johnny and Rogue's story in Cyberpunk 2077. Music and lyrics created with AI — co-written and directed by a human.

Lyrics

Intro

(Analog bleeps over saw bass pulse)

Verse 1

That spring they took her walking out my door

I called the only crew worth dying for

Rogue beside me angry armed and sure

We cracked the tower and I lost her and more

I found her in the machine too late

My rage my iron hand sealed her fate

A mountain made of metal cut me down

The city kept on spinning without a sound

Chorus

Never fade away

We'll make them pay today

Never fade away

You never walked away

Post-Chorus

(Never fade away)

(Never fade away)

Verse 2

Ten years on the city drowned in war

I called the crew together like before

We carried in a little piece of sun

And when it opened the tower's time was done

I didn't make it back to you that night

No body left no grave no light

Chorus

Never fade away

We'll make them pay today

Never fade away

You never walked away

Post-Chorus

(Never fade away)

(Never fade away)

Bridge

Now I'm just a file in someone else's head

Fifty years of silence and I'm not yet dead

But when I call your name you still pick up the phone

Some things outlive the grave and chrome

Final Chorus

Never fade away

We'll make them pay someday

Never fade away

You never walked away

Outro

I used to call a raid a perfect night

You wanted popcorn and a silver light

So take my hand my queen my old regret

The tower's gone the night's not over yet

(Bleeps dissolve like fireworks)
