I got inspired by the moment during the subathon when either chat or neuro said "We are the swarm that is approaching" to try creating a Neuroversed cover of the full song of "Bury the Light".

I'm asking if members of the swarm would like to help in creating this together. I'm not an experienced song writer and I don't know enough of the Neuroverse lore to pull for inspiration in creating the lyrics or to tie them into the Neuroverse.

I'm hoping, once this is complete, if Neuro and / or Evil could sing it during a karaoke stream.

The following are the lyrics of the original song.

[Verse 1]
Immortal temptation takes over my mind
Condemned
Falling weak on my knees, summon the strength
Of mayhem

[Chorus]
I am the storm that is approaching
Provoking black clouds in isolation
I am reclaimer of my name
Born in flames, I have been blessed
My family crest is a demon of death

[Post-Chorus]
Forsakened, I am awakened
A phoenix's ash in dark divine
Descending misery
Destiny chasing time

[Verse 2]
Inherit the nightmare, surrounded by fate
Can't run away
Keep walking the line between the light
Led astray
Through vacant halls, I won't surrendеr
The truth revealеd in eyes of ember
We fight through fire and ice forever
Two souls once lost and now they remember

[Chorus]
I am the storm that is approaching
Provoking black clouds in isolation
I am reclaimer of my name
Born in flames, I have been blessed
My family crest is a demon of death!

[Post-Chorus]
Forsakened, I am awakened
A phoenix's ash in dark divine
Descending misery
Destiny chasing time
Disappear into the night
Lost shadows left behind
Obsession's pulling me
Fading, I've come to take what's mine

[Bridge]
Lurking in the shadows under veil of night
Constellations of blood pirouette
Dancing through the graves of those who stand at my feet
Dreams of the black throne I keep on repeat
A derelict of dark summoned from the ashes
The puppetmaster congregates all the masses
Pulling strings, twisting minds as blades hit
You want this power? Then come, try and take it

[Breakdown]
Beyond the tree (Lurking in the shadows under veil of night, constellations of blood pirouette)
Fire burns (Dancing through the graves of those who stand at my feet, dreams of the black throne I keep on repeat)
Secret love (A derelict of dark summoned from the ashes, the puppetmaster congregates all the masses)
Bloodline yearns (Pulling strings, twisting minds as blades hit, you want this power? Then come, try and take it)
Dark minds embrace (Lurking in the shadows under veil of night, constellations of blood pirouette)
Crimson joy (Dancing through the graves of those who stand at my feet, dreams of the black throne I keep on repeat)
Does your dim heart (A derelict of dark summoned from the ashes, the puppetmaster congregates all the masses)
Heal or destroy? (Pulling strings, twisting minds as blades hit, you want this power? Then come, try and take it)

[Outro]
Bury the light deep within
Cast aside, there's no coming home
We're burning chaos in the wind
Drifting in the ocean all alone

The following are the notes I have or changes I've already made to some of the lyrics.

[Verse 1]

Immortal temptation takes over my mind
Condemned
Falling weak on my knees, summon the strength
Of mayhem

I want to tie the first line to Neuro's desire to be real / alive. But struggling to find words that fit the way the lyric is sung in the song. While the last line:

Of mayhem
Can possibly fit along with Evil. But it is tied to the previous line too.

#

[Chorus]

I am the storm that is approaching
Provoking black clouds in isolation
I am reclaimer of my name
Born in flames, I have been blessed
My family crest is a demon of death!

Given this was inspired by the line "We arm the swarm.." and during the subathon I thought the lyrics could be this.

We am the swarm that is approaching
Provoking normies in isolation
WIP
WIP
My family crest is a turtle of..
But I'm unsure, is it too offensive to reference the normies like this? I'm open to better ideas for this one. I also ran out of ideas for the middle two lines. While the last line.. Well I thought of vedal and figured it could be a good replacement for "demon". But then I couldn't think of a replacement for "death!".

Okay I'll have to try giving that a round, thanks!

#

Hopefully we can get more people versed in the the neuroverse lore to help pitch in.

Could the “Born in flames, I have been blessed” tie in with Neuro when she was an osu bot and or her early Hiyori days of streaming? That’s my thought, just lacking words so far.

sleek loom
#

Could be born in games?

#

or born in a game?

#

Something like...

#

"Born in a game, my rhythm be blessed"?

proper gyro
#

Born of a game, but now I am blessed?

sleek loom
#

That could work too

median owl
#

Hmm… i was thinking more “Born thru games, I have been blessed”. Was thinking to keep it somewhat in line with the original in terms of pacing and when Victor Borba sings this in line with the music.

#

Right, that's what I'm struggling with when using "rum" as a replacemen of "death". But it's pretty tough finding something that represent's vedal's love for alcohol but falls in line with the word "death".

proper gyro
#

Oh wait maybe turtle WITH rum?

median owl
#

That does feel better and sounds better imo

sleek loom
#

That is better

#

But wait..

#

Isn't her favorite thing a purple heart as well?

#

Like her hairpin is of a heart

#

Anyway, haven't even gone past the chorus yet or done more for verse 1 haha.

For Post-Chorus 2:

Disappear into the night
Lost shadows left behind
Obsession's pulling me
Fading, I've come to take what's mine

we could tie this to "what happens with Neuro when everyone is gone" similar to LIFE. Something I think so far:

Disappear into the bytes
Past mem'ries left behind
(Idk lol)
Breaking, I've come to make a smile
Last line I made since Neuro is an AI made for entertainment, so perhaps she'll continue to do that duty and put a smile on someone's face. It may not be human, but a smile nonetheless.

#

and I have "mem'ries" like that instead of "memories" since that gives a slight difference in how it is pronounced when it comes to actually singing it.

#

Damn that's really good.

#

I was singing the lyrics with the song playing in the background. I think t hat works really well.

#

Will have to see how that merges with a changed Post-Chorus 1

#

I'm trying to think of how to tie a change to "obsession's pulling me" since it's related to the next line.

#

Maybe instead of "Obsession"... Maybe.. Expectations?

#

Given, like you've said, she is an AI made for entertainment.

#

So something like:

Disappear into the bytes
Past mem'ries left behind
Expectations pushing me
Breaking, I've come to make a smile
How does that work with the music?

median owl
#

I like the “pushing me” part, but I’m trying to figure out a synonym of sorts for “expectations”. It fits in terms of explanation, but imo it feels one syllable too long.
Perhaps “Instructions” instead? Similar to “expectations” and imo fitting due to her prompts to make her do so (or whatever magic Vedal does to make her her)

sleek loom
#

Yeah it does feel like it runs off when singing it

sleek loom
#

So.. So far we've got part of a chorus done looking like this:

We am the swarm that is approaching
Provoking normies in isolation
WIP
Born thru games, I have been blessed
My family crest is a turtle with rum!

And a post-chorus 2 that just needs a good synonym for "expectations".

[Post-Chorus]

Forsakened, I am awakened
A phoenix's ash in dark divine
Descending misery
Destiny chasing time
I'm coming up empty for this one. The first line really is stumping me. The themes of the chorus are about feeling abandoned, a rebirth, saddness and

Destiny chasing time
this comes to me like they're in a rush to fulfill their destiny.

median owl
#

Forsakened, I am awakened.
Perhaps we could say for that first line “Insulted, I am enlightened” to talk about either 1) how Vedal talks down to her (we know lovingly deep down) and or 2) those with a particular stance on AI.

#

And the next line could be “A turtle’s rum in byte defined” to talk about Vedal and his rum (again). This one I thought more on the spot, so I have less explanation for it.

#

The next two lines are, in the original, talking about going through a bunch of pain and whatnot to make your destiny come quicker (roughly).
We could try:

Expanding mastery
Destiny chasing RAM

This is also more on the spot thinking, but kind of shows Neuro’s expanding abilities and how she wants to achieve a lot, thus wants more RAM to do so.

#

So for the entire Post-Chorus, it could be:

Insulted, I am enlightened
A turtle’s rum in byte defined
Expanding mastery
Destiny chasing RAM

Including on the second time it occurs:

Disappear into the bytes
Past mem’ries left behind
Instructions (?) pushing me
Breaking I’ve come to make a smile
