First Light Over the Wasteland

“First Light Over the Wasteland” is the album’s first true Capital Wasteland song. It captures the Lone Wanderer’s first step outside Vault 101: the blinding sunlight, the silence, the ruined houses, the empty roads, the distant shape of Megaton, and the terrifying freedom of the open world. The song should feel lonely, cinematic, and awe-filled, like childhood ending under a poisoned sky.
