Solara — (9.3) CORONA

CORONA

"And then it turned bright Not dark — bright The kind of bright that burns"

[Verse 1] We came with three crews to Level twenty-nine Hollow sighting — standard protocol Chaos on the left, Disorder on the right The kind of formation that had worked before

The hollow didn’t move the way they move It didn’t scatter, didn’t split, didn’t run It stood there like it had been waiting For exactly this — for all of us to come

[Pre-Chorus] Three crews in position One hollow in the center Every hand on every weapon Every eye on what it does next

[Chorus] And then it turned bright Not dark — bright The kind of bright that burns The kind of hot that stays Corona — the crown of the sun Before the sun goes dark Corona — we reached for it And the light took everything

[Verse 2] She woke up on the ground of Level twenty-nine The air was wrong — the temperature was wrong She counted the people she could see And came up seven short

Chaos was there Disorder was there Historia, Aldric, Spida, Caterpila She counted them again

Seven short

[Pre-Chorus 2] She looked for Castor first She looked for the Queen She looked for the Swan, the Laborer The Hero and the Hunter

Not there Not anywhere in the level Not gone the way things die

Just — gone

[Chorus] And then it turned bright Not dark — bright The kind of bright that burns The kind of hot that stays Corona — the crown of the sun Before the sun goes dark Corona — we reached for it And the light took everyone

[Outro] She said their names All seven Once Out loud

Then she stood up

And she said: They are not gone

They are somewhere

And we are going to find them
