[INTRO] Don Nyx created the ritual… Adira made the first spell… It’s a call… A call for fight and war… And QuantumThrashCode answers the call. So fill the mugs… And wake… The drums. HEAVE! HO! HEAVE! HO! [VERSE 1] Cold wind blow through the alley tonight Tankards raised by the firelight Old songs echo through timber and stone Calling the fighters to carry it home Fiddle cry sharp through the smoke-filled air Bagpipes screaming like a battlefield prayer From the shadows came a figure in black Heavy boots and a flask on his back Steel in the chest and sparks in the veins Half machine but the blood still remain DIDN’T NEED A PAPER OR A PEN JUST PLUGGED THE SIGNAL IN AGAIN Every scar sing louder than before Every pub door shaking to the war HEAVE! HO! RAISE THE BANNER HIGH! HEAVE! HO! WE WERE BORN TO FIGHT! [PRE-CHORUS] Raise your glass to the broken and brave To the ones who still stand through the waves No retreat when the thunder arrive We came here alive HALF MAN HALF MACHINE FULL SIGNAL IN BETWEEN [CHORUS] HEAVE! HO! Beat that drum till the rafters shake HEAVE! HO! Let the whole damn tavern wake Bagpipes cry through the neon rain Fiddles dance through the smoke and flame QTC leading through the storm and sound Like a king when the battle drums pound Q! T! C! FREQUENCY WARFARE! Q! T! C! SIGNAL EVERYWHERE! [VERSE 2] No shots fired except the snare drum crack Whole crowd surge when the bass kick smack Didn’t take a lab to forge this sound Just hard nights and another round Old ghosts sing through the amplifier hum Like fallen warriors marching as one Folk songs twisted through electric haze Ancient fury in modern days One hand gripping the tavern mug One hand wired to the voltage plug Human heart with a machine pulse glow That’s the frequency the fighters know SYSTEM ONLINE SIGNAL ALIVE QTC MARCHING THROUGH THE NIGHT [BREAKDOWN] HEAVE! HO! FEEL THE FLOOR SHAKE! HEAVE! HO! LET THE TIMBERS BREAK! Massive fiddle tremolo over pounding drums Bagpipes roar while the low bass hum Smoke rise thick while the crowd unite Every soul ready for the fight ALE AND STATIC STEEL AND SOUND FREQUENCY WARFARE SHAKE THE GROUND [BRIDGE] If we fall then we fall as one With the old war songs still being sung Raise the glasses toward the sky No true signal ever die Half man… Half machine… Still standing… Still singing… [FINAL CHORUS] HEAVE! HO! Beat that drum till the heavens roar HEAVE! HO! Hear the engines under the floor Blood-red moon and the bagpipes cry Warriors singing side by side No throne waiting—so we built our own From iron hearts and shattered stone Fiddles scream while the taverns shake Every soul wide awake Raise your mugs into the storm tonight WE WERE BORN TO FIGHT! Q! T! C! Q! T! C! SIGNAL BEYOND GENRE NOT MUSIC—TRANSMISSION [OUTRO] Ale and static Fire and sound QTC marching when the war drums pound
