Running On Lightning

Running on Lightning is based on ANIMUS, a 13th generation Imioura of questionable origin. Originally Theo, son of Heltheti, his twin sister saved him by binding his soul into armor, drawing on the energy of Krastaras. Now, ANIMUS stands as an anomaly with two sources of magic, unsure what that actually makes him. What he does know is he’ll do anything to protect his sister, and that he wants to be strong, strong enough to challenge the Queen to a fight, and come out victorious. Character Pictured: ANIMUS (With the Diadem of Divine Influence). — Lyrics: [Verse 1] Woke with the queen in my bloodstream, Her voice crackled in the dark. Body shattered on the mountain, Now I’m staring at the spark. Every step is getting louder, Every breath is breaking through— I’m not the man I was before, But I know just what to do. --- [Pre‑Chorus] Push harder, stand taller, Feel the thunder in your veins. You’re stronger, you’re brighter— You’re the storm they couldn’t chain. --- [Chorus] I’m running on lightning, Burning through the night. Every scar is fuel for the power That’s rising inside. I’m running on lightning, No fear left to fight— If the stars want to stop me, They better strike twice. (Yeah, I’m running on— Running on lightning.) --- [Verse 2] Power surging through the fault lines, Golden ichor in my grip. Every choice is getting sharper, Every doubt begins to slip. They said I’d break beneath the pressure, Said the storm would take control— But I’m turning every heartbeat Into something unbreakable. --- [Pre‑Chorus] Push harder, stand taller, Feel the thunder in your veins. You’re stronger, you’re brighter— You’re the storm they couldn’t chain. --- [Chorus] I’m running on lightning, Burning through the night. Every scar is fuel for the power That’s rising inside. I’m running on lightning, No fear left to fight— If the stars want to stop me, They better strike twice. (Yeah, I’m running on— Running on lightning.) --- [Bridge] Wings out, heart loud, Feel the power breaking ground. No chains, no crown— Just the storm I carry now. Rise up, don’t stop, Hit the limit, break the clock. You’re the dragon, you’re the shock— You’re the one they couldn’t lock. --- [Final Chorus] I’m running on lightning, Burning through the night. Every scar is fuel for the power That’s rising inside. I’m running on lightning, No fear left to fight— If the stars want to stop me, They better strike twice. (Yeah, I’m running on— Running on lightning.) [Outro] Running on lightning. Running on lightning. — Based on the Asteris universe, the backdrop behind the Odyssey of the Imioura campaign.
