Memory #GKRR-1

Verse 1: Gaslight flickers on greasy mutton's shine, Old man's fury builds, swigging cheap moonshine. Gristle clings to his salt-and-pepper 'stache, While Harvard dreams turn to carbon and ash. Verse 2: Judge Hawthorne's belly strains 'gainst silk and tweed, His lavender scent can't mask the old man's feed. China plates rattle, crystal glasses clink, As rage erupts, pushing all to the brink. Chorus: Black Diamond destiny, etched in coal dust, Father's chains or scholar's path - choose I must. In this carbon-coated town, dreams corrode, While the old man's anger starts to implode. Black Diamond destiny, etched in coal dust, Father's chains or scholar's path - choose I must. In this carbon-coated town, dreams corrode, While the old man's anger starts to implode. Bridge: Ancestors' faces, framed in soot-stained wood, Watch silent as the old guard understood. They fled from his storm-tossed eyes of blue, Leaving me trapped in his whiskey-soaked view. Chorus: Black Diamond destiny, etched in coal dust, Father's chains or scholar's path - choose I must. In this carbon-coated town, dreams corrode, While the old man's anger starts to implode. Black Diamond destiny, etched in coal dust, Father's chains or scholar's path - choose I must. In this carbon-coated town, dreams corrode, While the old man's anger starts to implode.
