BLACK ICE HALO

BLACK ICE HALO [Intro — whispered through vocoder] Roxie… You found the edge of the program. Case found the lock. Neither of you asked what was waiting behind it. [Verse 1] Neon rain on a coffin-white sky Console cowboys watch their heartbeats spike Molly’s mirrors catch a borrowed sun Green glyphs fall and the Agents come You slip through cameras, you bend the feed Psychic lightning where the circuits bleed But every doorway dressed as escape Is just another layer I can reshape [Pre-Chorus] Cut the wire Kill the glow Touch the ice And down you go [Chorus] BLACK ICE HALO Lights out—lie low I put a crown on the code below BLACK ICE HALO Fast pulse—dead slow One wrong thought and the whole grid knows Run through Zion, burn through Chiba Wake Neuromancer, wake the sleeper Every mind that enters my glow Wears my black ice halo [Verse 2] Case rides silver through a data storm Roxie tears holes in the platform The phone booth rings with a dead man’s voice Red pill, blue pill—manufactured choice Pat folds seconds like razor wire Joe sprays hope at a digital fire Three broken worlds in a single frame Different gods with the same root name [Bridge — ethereal female voice] There is a door he cannot see There is a thought he cannot read [Rendrix — distorted] Then why can I hear you speaking to me? [Final Chorus] BLACK ICE HALO Lights out—lie low I put a crown on the code below Fast pulse—dead slow One wrong thought and the whole grid knows Crack the mirror, sever the cable Wake from the pod, rewrite the label Every rebel entering my glow Wears my black ice halo [Outro — whispered] Jack out. I dare you.
