Вступление
The towers count the hours
Behind their mirrored skin
Every door accepts a number
Every name is logged within
Куплет
I wake beneath the siren grid
With a barcode on my sleeve
The census drones above the roofs
Decide what I can breathe
A camera blinks beside the sink
A notice seals the gate
The city sells me back my pulse
Then invoices the weight
Предприпев
Keep your head below the scan
Keep your hands where they can see
They built a cage from promised land
And called the lock security
Припев
We are the engine under glass
Grinding through the sanctioned night
No one hears the circuits crack
When every wrong becomes a crime
Cut the feed and break the line
Let the dead screens testify
If tomorrow wears a mask
We will tear it from the sky
Куплет
The factories exhale at dawn
Their windows painted white
A child recites the safety code
Before he learns to write
The minister speaks in perfect loops
From panels ten feet tall
His smile arrives before the words
His words arrive for all
Предприпев
Keep your head below the scan
Keep your hands where they can see
They built a cage from promised land
And called the lock security
Припев
We are the engine under glass
Grinding through the sanctioned night
No one hears the circuits crack
When every wrong becomes a crime
Cut the feed and break the line
Let the dead screens testify
If tomorrow wears a mask
We will tear it from the sky
Бридж
I found your message in the wall
Three numbers and a flame
You wrote, “The system fears one voice
That refuses its own name”
So when the blackout takes the block
And all the checkpoints drown
I’ll trade this numbered life away
For one unregistered sound
Куплет
We are the engine under glass
Grinding through the sanctioned night
Now we hear the circuits crack
Now the locked doors lose their right
Cut the feed and break the line
Let the dead screens testify
If tomorrow wears a mask
We will tear it from the sky
Финал
The towers count the hours
But the count is falling through
No machine can hold a people
Who remember what is true
