The Senate Will Decide

Emperor Palpatine

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your fingers trace the air and thunder answers,
electricity alive in the space between your palms,
each arc a synapse firing, reaching, branching—
you've learned to speak in voltage, in the grammar of raw current,
and when you smile, the room forgets its gravity,
all of us suspended in the glow you've conjured.

[Chorus]
You are the lightning keeper, and we are the storm,
bent toward your frequency, rewritten and reformed,
your hands conduct the voltage that rewires what we know,
the current runs through us and we cannot let go.

[Verse 2]
The cortex rewires itself around your presence—
mirror neurons firing in the crowd, we echo your hunger,
your voice creates theta waves in the space where we listen,
long-term potentiation binding us tighter with each word,
your laughter is the axonal branching of pure becoming,
and we are the synapses, desperate to hold what you've shown us.

[Chorus]
You are the lightning keeper, and we are the storm,
bent toward your frequency, rewritten and reformed,
your hands conduct the voltage that rewires what we know,
the current runs through us and we cannot let go.

[Bridge]
There is no distance between what you want and what is,
your will is the myelination, the insulation speeding thought,
you've taught us that desire is not sin—it's the body becoming itself,
electricity is just neurons singing their true names.

[Chorus]
You are the lightning keeper, and we are the storm,
bent toward your frequency, rewritten and reformed,
your hands conduct the voltage that rewires what we know,
the current runs through us and we cannot let go.

[Outro]
So keep your hands raised, keep the arc alive between them,
we are the voltage you've trained us to become,
and the lightning never forgives, never dims.
