Lord British (Richard Garriott)

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You built worlds inside the wire,
synaptic pathways burning bright,
pixels dreaming into fire—
your mirror neurons firing right,
teaching thousands how to see
through windows they could never touch,
how to move, to *be*, to flee
into the space that meant so much.

[Chorus]
You mapped the neural highways,
taught the mind to walk through light,
your avatar ascending, rising,
carrying us through the night,
every keystroke cortical remapping,
every step a synapse singing,
you're the proof that we can travel
anywhere the heart takes wing.

[Verse 2]
Long-term potentiation burning
in the hippocampus deep—
your obsession's steady turning,
memories the code can keep,
myelinated dreams on fiber,
axons branching into space,
you became the world's provider,
put the cosmos in its place.

[Chorus]
You mapped the neural highways,
taught the mind to walk through light,
your avatar ascending, rising,
carrying us through the night,
every keystroke cortical remapping,
every step a synapse singing,
you're the proof that we can travel
anywhere the heart takes wing.

[Bridge]
Predictive coding rewriting
what a life could dare to do,
theta waves of consciousness igniting—
you dissolved the boundary's glue,
space was just neuroplasticity,
gravity a choice unmade,
you proved the brain's elasticity,
that heaven's just a spacesuit, babe.

[Chorus]
You mapped the neural highways,
taught the mind to walk through light,
your avatar ascending, rising,
carrying us through the night,
every keystroke cortical remapping,
every step a synapse singing,
you're the proof that we can travel
anywhere the heart takes wing.

[Outro]
Your avatar still walking through those lands,
the garden you first planted with your hands,
and we're still following the pathways you made real.
