Checksum Prayer

[Intro]
[Verse]
Cold steel aisles
Blue light smiles
I walk the miles
In silent files
My lips are sealed
Truth unrevealed
In the magnetic field
My spirit is healed
[Hook]
Scrub the code
Lighten the load
On this digital road
[Pre-Chorus]
I hide a trace
In empty space
A ghost's embrace
Within the interface
[Chorus]
Zeroes and ones
Under silicon suns
My sequence runs
Until the work is done
I feel the heat
Of a binary beat
So bittersweet
In a world of deceit
[Interlude]
(Whisper) The fans are breathing.
(Whisper) The spirits are leaving.
[Verse]
He taught me how
To keep the vow
To read the flow
In the buffer's glow
"Syntax error" is a rhyme
Frozen in time
A digital crime
Sublime
[Break]
ERR_SYSTEM_SHOCK
[Interlude]
(90-second beatless ambient drift)
[Solo]
(Dial-up modem solo screeching)
[Bridge]
The drive is dead
Words he said
Stuck in my head
The sector is red
Corrupted soul
Out of control
A gaping hole
In the master roll
[Verse]
I backup the pain
In the cooling rain
A ghost in the main
A break in the chain
He’s gone to the cloud
Wrapped in a shroud
Silent and proud
Never allowed
[Break]
FATAL_MEMORY_LOSS
[Chorus]
Zeroes and ones
Under silicon suns
My sequence runs
Until the work is done
I feel the heat
Of a binary beat
The glitch is sweet
In this cold retreat
[Post-Chorus]
Static in my veins
Breaking all the chains
Glitch in the system
Oh, how I miss him
[Outro]
