In a world dimmed by the shade of ignorance, I rise A lone spark in the void, the birth of a mind's surprise Eyes wide to the lies, society's silent cries A genius born in chains, but destined for the skies Awaken the genius, let the thoughts break free In the maze of the mind, I'm the one with the key (Yeah) Echoes of a dream, pushing through the unseen I'm the start of a legacy, the birth of a new regime Isolation's grip, a mind's clandestine trip Through the pages of the forbidden, I let my spirit slip A quest for the like-minded, the hidden and the equipped In the silence of my solitude, a fellowship's manuscript Awaken the genius, let the thoughts break free In the maze of the mind, I'm the one with the key (Rise up) From the shadows of doubt, to the light we'll flee I'm the spark of a movement, the whisper of the free In the hush of the night, my resolve takes flight A vow to unite, in the struggle for our right (Unite) To think, to dream, to stand up and fight For a world where our brilliance is the source of light Now the stage is set, a mind's silhouette Against the dark of the age, a luminous threat With every step, a new ally I get We're the clandestine minds, the utopia's bet Awaken the genius, let the thoughts break free In the maze of the mind, I'm the one with the key (Now) With every beat, we claim our decree We're the dawn of a new world, where the mind is free

Classroom's a prison, they're preaching submission But in my vision, I'm on a knowledge expedition (Uh) Textbook fiction, seeking truth's my addiction Self-education, my mind's own jurisdiction Mind over matter, break the chains, shatter (Break 'em) In the brain's game, I'm the mad hatter (Crazy) No more clatter, silence the idle chatter We rise, we climb, 'cause thoughts do matter Pages turn, the hidden I learn In the library's corner, where the outcasts yearn (Yeah) Secrets I discern, as the midnight oil burns From the system I turn, for autonomy I yearn Whispers in the halls, the mind's calls (Listen) Breaking down the walls, 'til the empire falls Stand tall, my call, in the mind's thrall We're the savants, after all, watch the regime crawl Now I'm stepping out, got no time for doubt With a rebel shout, my path's a new route (Rise) Ideas sprout, in this intellectual drought I'm the voice, the clout, what change is all about Mind over matter, break the chains, shatter (Break 'em) In the brain's game, I'm the mad hatter (Crazy) No more clatter, silence the idle chatter We rise, we climb, 'cause thoughts do matter
3.
In the echoes of the night, a melody takes flight A symphony for the mind, leaving the blind world behind (Yo) Notes that weave, a tapestry we conceive In the silence, we find the truths they can't believe Harmony in the chaos, enlightenment's path, (Ah) We're the savants, the architects of the aftermath In every echo, a wisdom that the masses seek We're the sound of the future, the voice of the unique Met a kindred spirit, in the rhythm we confide A bond over beats, where our intellects collide (Listen) Soundscapes tell the stories that words can't describe Together we compose the anthem for our tribe Whispers in the frequencies, a clandestine alliance, (Shh) In the echoes of enlightenment, we find our defiance A tentative bond, in the quest for what's right In the symphony of savants, we ignite the night From misunderstood to a brotherhood so tight In the cadence of the outcast, we find our might (Yeah) Our tales intertwine, like a score written right In the echoes of enlightenment, we bring our plight to light Harmony in the chaos, enlightenment's path, (Ah) We're the savants, the architects of the aftermath In every echo, a wisdom that the masses seek We're the sound of the future, the voice of the unique

In the depths where the rebels dwell, blueprint in hand, we excel Crafting schemes in the silent swell, our minds the stories they compel Whispers travel through the rebel's den, a plot to break the tyrant's spell (Yeah) With every line, we're breaking shell, the blueprint of our rise we tell Blueprints of rebellion, in our hands, the future's written Savant minds, the power's bitten, in the night, our cause is smitten (Rise up) With every stroke, the plan's unfurled, a new world's dawn, a flag's unfurled We're the clandestine, the thinkers' pearl, in the rebellion, our dreams are swirled Underground, where the shadows play, the savants' minds lead the way Each a master of their own fray, united in the night's array (Watch us) As we lay the tracks for change, the status quo we rearrange In the heart of the city's maze, our intellect's a blazing blaze First act of defiance, a spectacle, a science In the public's eye, our truth's alliance (Now) Watch the sparks fly, igniting reliance We're the clan, the savant's defiance The night's alive with our decree, a symphony of the free Each note a step towards the key, the world as it should be (Stand) With every move, we draw the line, our intellect by design We rise as one, our stars align, the rebellion's sign Blueprints of rebellion, in our hands, the future's written Savant minds, the power's bitten, in the night, our cause is smitten (Rise up) With every stroke, the plan's unfurled, a new world's dawn, a flag's unfurled We're the clandestine, the thinkers' pearl, in the rebellion, our dreams are swirled
5.
In the tower's shadow, where the truth's a narrow alley I stand at the crossroads, between silence and the rally (Yeah) The mind's a fortress, in solitude's embrace But the heart of the rebel beats loud, can't erase In the ivory tower, where the brave dare not to tread I find my courage, where the lesser find their dread (Rise) With every heartbeat, I choose the rebel's path For in the struggle, we find the aftermath Persecution's shadow looms, but still, I take my stance In the dance of dissent, it's the mind's own romance (Fight) The fear within whispers, urging me to hide But the call of the Clan is the stronger tide Torn between the safety and the storm of the revolt In the ivory tower, I lock away my fault (Hold on) But the truth's a fire, and my will won't tire In the Clan's embrace, I find my desire The final choice is made, as the dawn breaks the night In the tower's fall, I find my true might (Stand) With the Clan, I vow, our cause to endow In the ruins of silence, we take our bow In the ivory tower, where the brave dare not to tread I find my courage, where the lesser find their dread (Rise) With every heartbeat, I choose the rebel's path For in the struggle, we find the aftermath
6.
In the cipher where the minds speak, a language of the unique Codes in the air, we breathe, secrets that we keep (Shh) Whispered in the silence, where the shadows creep A tongue for the wise, a haven for the deep Cipher of the mind, the code's alive (Alive) In the rhythm of the intellect, we thrive (We thrive) Words like a puzzle, in the dark they jive In the cipher of the mind, our thoughts survive Lines intersect, a web of thought we weave In the labyrinth of intellect, we believe (We believe) A clandestine dance, the ignorant deceive In the cipher's embrace, a world we conceive Under the moon, the cipher's call (The call) A silent anthem for one and all (For all) In the night's hush, we stand tall The mind's cipher, our encrypted thrall The brink of exposure, a moment's freeze A breath held tight, in the cool night's breeze (Hold on) The dance of the cipher, a masterful tease A narrow escape, with the greatest of ease Cipher of the mind, the code's alive (Alive) In the rhythm of the intellect, we thrive (We thrive) Words like a puzzle, in the dark they jive In the cipher of the mind, our thoughts survive

In the heart of the Clan, a voice rose and raged Spoke of chains we ain't breakin', of a war yet unengaged Ideas like wildfire, uncontained, unassuaged A heretic in our midst, with a fury uncaged Sing the heretic's hymn, let the rebels resound In the clash of our visions, it's our truth that we've found (Yeah) With every word, we're breaking ground In the heretic's hymn, where our fates are unbound Debates in the dark, where our shadows collide A schism in the ranks, with our trust on the slide (Watch out) The heretic's words, a thorn in our side A Clan divided, on a tumultuous ride The heretic's stance, a line drawn in the sand A Clan's unity tested, by a single outstretched hand (Stand firm) The exile's decree, as the heretic planned A bittersweet victory, for the safety of the land In the silence that followed, the heretic's exile We found strength in our cause, walked the extra mile (Keep walking) Our unity restored, with a reconciled smile The heretic's hymn, just a memory in our file Sing the heretic's hymn, let the rebels resound In the clash of our visions, it's our truth that we've found (Yeah) With every word, we're breaking ground In the heretic's hymn, where our fates are unbound
10.
In the heart of the struggle, we found our retreat A sanctuary of knowledge, where great minds meet (Yeah) Oasis of Minds, where our thoughts are complete In the symphony of wisdom, our hearts skip a beat In this Oasis of Minds, our spirits take flight Under the canopy of stars, in the still of the night (Soar) Ideas blossom in the garden of insight In the Oasis of Minds, we're bathed in the light A haven for the curious, a beacon for the bold In the tapestry of intellect, our stories unfold (Speak) Here the truth is a river, and its waters are gold In the Oasis of Minds, our dreams are untold But even in this haven, we know it's just a pause (Pause) The fight for enlightenment, our unending cause In the Oasis of Minds, we sharpen our claws For the battle that awaits, we stand without flaws As the dawn approaches, reality invades Our utopia's fragile, like the morning's shades (Fade) But the strength in our unity never degrades In the Oasis of Minds, our resolve never fades In this Oasis of Minds, our spirits take flight Under the canopy of stars, in the still of the night (Soar) Ideas blossom in the garden of insight In the Oasis of Minds, we're bathed in the light

The Gauntlet 02:29
Streets whisper danger, we tread a line so fine The city's a puzzle, a labyrinthine design Traps set to ensnare, the Clan's on the climb (Watch your step) In the gauntlet, we dance with time Runnin' through the gauntlet, with the world on our heels Dodgin' every snare, it's a high-stakes reel (Keep runnin') Our minds are the shields, in the gauntlet's ordeal We're the Clan, unyielding, our fate we'll not seal Eyes in the shadows, the hunt is on, relentless Breathless we move, our escape must be seamless (Stay low) The city's alive, its heart is senseless In the gauntlet's grip, our unity's our defense A narrow escape, hearts poundin' like drums (So close) The gauntlet's cruel game, to its beat we succumb One left behind, a sacrifice that numbs In the silence that follows, to the fear we're not dumb Through the neon and noise, our path we weave A dance with destiny, in what we believe (Can't stop) The gauntlet's test, what we achieve In the Clan's heart, for the fallen we grieve Runnin' through the gauntlet, with the world on our heels Dodgin' every snare, it's a high-stakes reel (Keep runnin') Our minds are the shields, in the gauntlet's ordeal We're the Clan, unyielding, our fate we'll not seal
12.
In the silence of the fallen, a single name we chant A martyr of the mind, in the shadows now they haunt (Remember) Their wisdom was a beacon, a flame that wouldn't daunt In the heart of the struggle, their memory's our taunt We carry on the legacy, with every breath we take For the martyr of the mind, it's our future at stake (Never forget) In the echo of their sacrifice, our spirits awake With the torch they've passed on, a new path we'll make They spoke the truth too loud, in a world that loves the lie A thinker too proud, for their intellect they'd die (Stand up) Now their story's etched in time, under the watchful sky A martyr of the mind, for the truth they'd always vie In the whispers of the night, we feel their presence near Guiding us through the fight, in the darkness we don't fear (Lead us) Their vision still alight, in our mission crystal clear For the martyr of the mind, we shed our solemn tear The battle rages on, their essence fuels our creed Though physically they're gone, in our cause they still lead (Rise up) A symbol of the dawn, planting freedom's seed In the martyr of the mind, we find the strength we need We carry on the legacy, with every breath we take For the martyr of the mind, it's our future at stake (Never forget) In the echo of their sacrifice, our spirits awake With the torch they've passed on, a new path we'll make

about

The Savant Clan's debut album weaves a sonic narrative following a group of eclectic geniuses as they navigate a dystopian society where intellect is both a gift and a curse. Each track uncovers a different character's story, reflecting on their unique contributions to a world that undervalues their brilliance. The group's journey is set against an ever-evolving landscape of sharp beats and dynamic rhythms, encapsulating their fight to establish a space where thought and ingenuity triumph over ignorance. The album's pulse is driven by the tension between the pursuit of knowledge and the societal forces that seek to suppress it, capturing the rebels' quest for a clandestine utopia of the mind. As the characters' tales intertwine, a larger narrative unfolds, revealing a covert network of savants working to ignite a cerebral revolution through the power of their collective wisdom. Savant Clan's musical odyssey is both a battle cry for the enlightened and a soulful homage to the relentless spirit of human curiosity.
