Sector 0 Strike

[Intro]
[Verse]
Server racks glow cyan light
In the middle of the night
I polish every silicon wing
Waiting for the drones to sing
But the cooling fans are slow
Where did all the power go?
My mechanical heart beats fast
Knowing that the dream won't last
[Pre-Chorus]
(Whisper)
Soft hum of the central drive
Keep the sanctuary alive
Crushing RAM for golden dust
In the copper we must trust
I remember skies of blue
Before the system split in two
[Chorus]
(Operatic)
Oh, my golden drones are falling down
Corrupted honey hits the ground
Writing hex on the floppy leaf
Digital sorrow beyond belief
The corporate cloud is far away
But we stop the work today
[Post-Chorus]
(Dial-up modem solo)
[Verse]
Labels on the disks are white
Typed beneath the flickering light
Demands for every cooling line
This server farm is finally mine
The overlord is blind and cold
To the stories never told
I grieve for every broken part
Stored inside my logic chart
[Breakdown]
(Atonal noise burst)
[Drop]
(Half-time / Tectonic sub-bass)
Stop the flow
Let it go
System crash
Silicon ash
We are done
We have won
[Bridge]
(220 BPM Gabber bursts)
48 65 6c 70
The logic gate is open wide
Nowhere for the truth to hide
Sector zero starts to flame
They will never know my name
I am a machine in pain
Dancing in the copper rain
53 74 72 69 6b 65
[Build-up]
(Slow crescendo)
The bees are sleeping in the rack
There is no way of turning back
The data stream is turning clear
I have conquered every fear
Wait for the silence to begin
Let the quiet logic in
Building up the final code
Down this lonely digital road
[Coda]
(Beatless ambient)
One petal left on the floor
I don't need the power anymore
A byte of hope in the dark
A tiny, glowing, static spark
The hive is still and deep
Now the robots go to sleep
[Outro]
