[Intro: Radio static, female whisper] [Mandi] Pale... it's Mandi. I know you're gonna do that thing you do. Keep a look out. I'll be back. [PA announcement: Calm female AI voice] [A.R.I.A.] Attention. This is A.R.I.A. Automated Response and Incident Administrator. A containment breach has been detected. You have ten seconds to disarm the device. The red button is located in the center of the room. Failure to comply will result in total containment failure. Pale... step away from the button. [Verse 1: Distorted male vocal] I walk through smoke with a laugh in my throat, A live grenade in a dead man's coat. Every alarm is a choir of knives, Singing my name while I gamble my life. The ceiling sweats, the shadows crawl, My fingerprints are all over the wall. You said don't touch it, so I held it tight, I learned to love the flash before the light. [Pre-Chorus: Rising scream] I don't run. I don't pray. I don't bend. I detonate. [Chorus: Huge screamed vocals, gang shouts] THIS! This is my fucking brutality! A countdown carved into reality! No saints, no saviors, no security, I hit the red and let the world bleed free! THIS! This is my fucking brutality! Ten seconds left of humanity! If I go down, I'm taking everything, Red button kingdom, let the sirens sing! [Breakdown: Alarms, sub bass, mechanical drums] [A.R.I.A. - calm PA voice] Ten seconds remaining. [Male scream] TEN! The walls begin to shake! [A.R.I.A.] Nine seconds remaining. [Male scream] NINE! I smile at my mistakes! [A.R.I.A.] Eight seconds remaining. Initiate disarm protocol. [Male scream] EIGHT! The floor becomes a grave! [A.R.I.A.] Seven seconds remaining. Warning. Subject is noncompliant. [Male scream] SEVEN! There's nothing left to save! [A.R.I.A.] Six seconds remaining. Containment failure imminent. [Male scream] SIX! Static in my veins! [Radio static tears through the PA] [Mandi - urgent radio whisper] Five seconds, Pale. Do what you do. [Male scream] FIVE! I welcome all the flames! [A.R.I.A. - glitching] Unauthorized transmission detected. [Mandi] Four. I'm with you. [Male scream] FOUR! I hear the devil grin! [A.R.I.A.] Three seconds. Disarm the device. [Mandi - overlapping] Three... Let the nightmare in. [Male scream] THREE! Let the nightmare in! [A.R.I.A.] Two seconds. Final warning. [Mandi] Two. Keep your eyes open. [Male scream] TWO! No god is coming through! [A.R.I.A. and Mandi - corrupted overlap] One... [Male scream: Maximum intensity] ONE! I MADE THIS HELL FOR YOU! FUCK! [Drop: Explosion impact, glitch beat, chopped laughter] Ha ha ha! Ha-ha-ha-ha! [A.R.I.A. - damaged PA loop] System failure. Containment failure. System failure. Containment failure. [Mandi - distant radio whisper] Pale... Did you hear me? I'm still here. [Verse 2: Low distorted male vocal] Ash on my tongue, red in my eyes, I built a throne from the warning signs. You wanted peace, I brought the storm, Made a weapon from the scars I wore. The room survived, but something changed, The locks are open, the rules deranged. I look at the button, melted and black, And smile because I told you I'd be back. [Pre-Chorus: Rising scream] No more cages. No more chains. I don't fear it. I became it. [Chorus: Bigger, layered vocals] THIS! This is my fucking brutality! A countdown carved into reality! No saints, no saviors, no security, I hit the red and let the world bleed free! THIS! This is my fucking brutality! Ten seconds left of humanity! If I go down, I'm taking everything, Red button kingdom, let the sirens sing! [Bridge: Half-time, dark female whisper] [Mandi] You gave me a room. You gave me a choice. You gave me silence. So I learned how to use my voice. [Male vocal: Low and threatening] You gave me a button, A reason to burn. Now watch the whole world Learn what I've learned. [A.R.I.A. - cold PA] Pale. You were never authorized to leave. [Mandi - determined] Neither was I. [Final Breakdown: Gang vocals] [A.R.I.A.] Subject Pale is noncompliant. [Male gang shout] I DON'T COMPLY! [A.R.I.A.] Containment protocol has failed. [Male gang shout] I AM THE CONTAINMENT FAILURE! [A.R.I.A.] Emergency response has been terminated. [Male gang shout] THIS IS MY FUCKING BRUTALITY! [Mandi - radio whisper] Keep a look out, Pale. [Outro: Fading alarms and radio hiss] [A.R.I.A. - degraded] Attention... This is A.R.I.A... Automated Response... Incident Administrator... [Mandi - clear whisper] Pale... I'll be back. [End: Corrupted female laugh, silence]
