[Intro]
[The full band attacks immediately with a seven-beat guitar riff and tom pattern.]

[Verse 1]
The cloud opened wide like a furnace in bloom,
Violet lightning gave shape to the gloom.
Crimson ran sideways in rivers of flame,
And every charged particle whispered our name.
The sensors went white, then the forward array
Drew six moving absences cutting our way.
No hull on the scanner, no engine, no trail—
Just weapons unfolding inside the bright veil.

[Pre-Chorus]
“Hard port!” cried the helm as the first torpedo shone.
The captain gripped the rail: “Bring every station on.”
The blue core struck harder; the deck began to reel—
We found hidden teeth in the luminous veil.

[Chorus]
The luminous veil has opened its eyes,
Violet below us and crimson across the skies.
The luminous veil turns wonder into steel,
A beautiful horizon with a weapon underneath the real.
Hold fast, hold course—let every hand prevail;
We came seeking answers through the luminous veil.

[Verse 2]
The first strike hit low by the starboard nacelle,
A bloom through the plating, a pressure-door bell.
The lights on the bridge changed from amber to red,
And warning lamps painted the living like dead.
The tactical officer counted the fire,
“Two vessels are climbing, three closing in higher.”
The captain said, “Target the space where they bend—
If light is their armor, make light their own end.”

[Chorus]
The luminous veil has opened its eyes,
Violet below us and crimson across the skies.
The luminous veil turns wonder into steel,
A beautiful horizon with a weapon underneath the real.
Hold fast, hold course—let every hand prevail;
We came seeking answers through the luminous veil.

[Drum Break]
[Tom-heavy drums imitate evasive engine bursts while bass accents the changing meter.]

[Bridge]
Mark one!
Turning!
Mark two!
Burning!
Cut through the glow where the false colors meet!
Core pressure rising!
Bring the bow around and ride the wave!

[Guitar Solo]
[Two electric guitars trade angular phrases before joining the heroic crew motif.]

[Final Chorus]
The luminous veil has opened its eyes,
Red on the consoles and fire in the skies.
The luminous veil made beauty a battlefield,
But the hands inside this vessel are the strongest shield.
Hold fast, strike clear—let courage tip the scale;
We will not be buried in the luminous veil.

[Outro]
Three enemy vessels broke apart in the glow,
But the ship lost its balance and drifted below.
Past the sparks in the chamber, one blue pulse turned pale—
And something still watched from beyond the bright veil.
