Flerovium, Fleeting Flame

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Deep in the table’s farthest row, A name in pencil, cold and slow. A lab-lit flash, then gone from view, A handful of atoms passing through. [Pre-Chorus] You wear a number, one-one-four, A brief visitor at matter’s door. We mark your trace, then lose the thread— A tiny reign, already fled. [Chorus] Flerovium, fleeting flame, Heavy as a secret, light as a name. Born where the patient instruments hum, You vanish before the answers come. Flerovium, stay for a breath— A borrowed crown at the edge of death. [Verse 2] No shining ingot, no crystal throne, Just counted seconds in a chamber alone. A nucleus balanced against the fall, A quiet stranger beyond them all. [Pre-Chorus] You wear a number, one-one-four, A brief visitor at matter’s door. We mark your trace, then lose the thread— A tiny reign, already fled. [Chorus] Flerovium, fleeting flame, Heavy as a secret, light as a name. Born where the patient instruments hum, You vanish before the answers come. Flerovium, stay for a breath— A borrowed crown at the edge of death. [Bridge] Was there a world where you could last, Where unstable clocks forgot to pass? The detector blinks; the trail runs thin. The dark closes softly over the spin. [Final Chorus] Flerovium, fleeting flame, Heavy as a secret, light as a name. Born where the patient instruments hum, You vanish before the answers come. Flerovium, stay for a breath— A borrowed crown at the edge of death. [Outro] One-one-four, then out of sight. A name still hanging in the white.
