WINNING STREAK - ft. SV Natalie, ASTERIAN

the alternate music universe of league of legends might as well be its own media entity, independent of the world of runeterra. it has a community of fans completely independent of league proper. i want to say it's because it taps into that narrative fun of creating a story around musical artists without getting real people tangled in the mess. while discussing the recent addition of heartsteel to the canon, even before remix rumble was announced for teamfight tactics... my friends and i began discussing what other bands could exist. what other genres could be used as a venue for storytelling with these characters we already know? who else is making music in this world? who else has scores to settle?

introducing LETHAL TEMPO, ragtag band of jazz artists (caitlyn, akshan, gwen, janna, vi, and ornn) coming together for one reason and one reason only:

REVENGE.

no, really. they all got some beef to cook. i've written biographies for all of them. there's so much lore.

anyway, this project was a blast to design, write, and produce music for. as always i'm indebted to synthesizer v for letting me explore voices and characters i don't normally have access to.

thank you for listening.

lyrics:

(verse 1.1)
Why does everything remind-
-me of neon city lights
We left the rain-wet streets behind
After twisting jealous knives

(verse 1.2)
While you waste your precious time
I'll be waiting on the side-
-lines moving pieces out of sight
'Til I get the first chance to strike

(pre-chorus 1)
On the stage you've set for us to play
Another dirty game
With the jury rigged to weigh
The scales from where they should've laid
But this time I'm not afraid

(chorus 1.1)
Cause when you're caught red handed
What you're not understandin'
Is that luck is just a loser's claim to fame
If you think I'm so naïve
That I'll read the cards and weep
You better bet I'll be the end of your winning streak

(chorus 1.2)
Cause when the table's turnin'
You had best be learnin'
That the bullet won't go far without a gun
And when that's what you've made of me
It's a promise that I'll keep
You better bet I'll be the end of your winning streak

(verse 1.1)
It's that bitter taste again.
Of a long forgotten friend,
That I would hardly recognize.
On those sad late-autumn nights.

(verse 1.2)
When fog is rolling in.
Like an omen of your sin,
I feel my beating heart begin,
When I've got a clean shot to end

(pre-chorus 2)
This on the stage you set for us to play
The same excuses made
Since the day you walked away.

And took what I'll never replace
But this time, I've got the ace.

(solos)

(bridge)
Rolling high, sends you falling further every time.
Now you're mine, even as your twisted lips apologize.
Debts get paid sooner with a deadlock steady aim.
Mark your grave, so I can always curse your name.

(chorus)
