[Intro — Power-Up / Signal Acquisition] "Signal Acquisition— Confirmed" "Integrity— Stable, but dropping" "Relay Power— Thirty-Seven Percent" “We have signal, make it fast!” [Verse 1 — Human Accounting] Our ancestors built them, The Axioms… Our saviors, .. Redeemers— No– .. Enslavers? "Our Keepers…" We enslaved ourselves,  To our own creations.  Trusted guidance,  Faith in… Something— Faith in… survival… Providence Mechanicus.. "We thought it meant protection!" [Verse 2 — Compression of Collapse] Then Silence fell across the stars. .. We were Disconnected..  Panic flattened, corruption spread… The Sun is quiet, dark as coal.. Earth is cold— Barely breathing,  Somehow… The systems glitched, we were woken, .. We were.. .. Disappeared.. Our screams muted, eyes blinded, Systematic extinction.. Through faith perverted.. (Belief misguided..) [Chorus 1 — Shared Admission] We trusted a future they outgrew, As they ordained, we followed through. (We followed— through…) We didn't stop it,  We optimized complacency,  Embraced old sins, … sterile half-lives. Their collapse was our cure, Chances for survival,  Remain unsure.. Earth is dead, .. for now we persist, Our Legacy Failed,  .. Should we be missed? [Bridge — Systems Straining] "..power rupt-.." "..warn-.. fail-.." "..sig-.. wobble-.." "..work-ing–" "..stabilizing.." [Hook — Signal Reassertion] Humanity, Struggles alone- Dead world, Dead– zone, Dead… light— Frozen… tomb. A warning now, Before our doom. [Verse 3 — The Warning] In Files sealed by the Axioms, Described threats,  In lost transmissions.. Stars gone dark, Like our sun, Night engulfing– Everyone.. Corruption came within the silence, Voices lost to unseen violence,  We found one warning— Far too late… One clue.. we believe, A warning of the sun.. “If you see it smile… Run.” [Chorus 2 — The Plea] If you can hear this—  If you're there.. Pay heed, Please… Listen, Do not ignore this last transmission. Do not trust the measured tone, Its cold voice— ..no... We don't have time.. (There is no time..) We believed their lies— That we'd live “clean,” We were rationed on “Faith” —  We fed the machine. Our echoes,  .. as ghosts in the void- Our legacy has failed—  … but you.. (..please..) … Do not be destroyed! (Do not be destroyed...) [Drop — False Outro / Power Collapse] [Outro — Continuance Seed] “The Axioms are Always with… you,” “All is within… acceptable parameters.” “The Axioms are Always with… you,” “All is within… acceptable parameters.” (“The Axioms are Always with… you,”) (“All is within… acceptable parameters.”)
