Anybody can post a challenge.

The rules of the game are simple, take any song you like from any genre you want, put the lyrics through any AI [you may weight lyrics as the AI allows] that you want and post the resulting image here under the post title Name That Song [GENRE]. After 48-72 Hours or if the answer is guessed sooner, edit the post's title to [Solved][Genre] and put the song title and artist (and optionally any highlighted lyrics) in a spoiler tag in the body of the post.

Other than that, enjoy.

Here is a list to a few AI image generators you can use.

[24 hour hint] Since this is a pretty difficult one, here's a big hint: The band is named after a poem by John Milton.

[Solution] This was a hard one due to the genre, but I loved how the AI captured the two states the subject of the song finds himself in by using the heaven and hell imagery side by side and the depiction of the long stairwell to absolution. Nowhere in the song does it explicitly mention heaven or that ascension, but it does capture the protagonists journey from fear and self-doubt to letting to and wondering why they ever felt that way to begin with quite well.

It's either Stairway to Heaven or some Dante's Divina Comedia type stuff

Not quite, but I get why it comes across that way. Tip: The themes in this song evoke imagery of hell as an allegory for personal growth.

Gangster's Paradise, 1st verse.

No, but you've definitely given me an idea for the next one!

Great song, one of the best guitar solos ever, but not the inspiration for this image.
