The Last Override (Doomsday Protocol)

dark synthwave, electro-rock, Siren sound for a few seconds, then very loud missile launch sound

(Verse 1)
The air is thick with the smell of brass and old blood
They brought me the crown, but they didn't bring the good news
I sit upon the velvet where my predecessor fell
A cold silence in the room, a terrible spell
I touched the console just to steady my hand
And saw the red light blinking like a heartbeat grand
Not a pulse of life, but a countdown to fire
The old king's final order was never retired.
(Chorus)
It moves without me, it walks on its own
A machine with no master, a heart made of stone
The Doomsday Protocol is breathing and waking
And I am the ghost in the steel and the breaking
They say power sits here, but the throne is a cage
I scream at the screen, but the system has rage.
(Verse 2)
I punch through the glass, I cut through the wire
I try to find the kill switch, the hidden desire
"Override!" I shout, voice cracking in fear
But the speakers reply with a cold, synthetic cheer:
Command Unrecognized. System Locked. Status: Go.
The missiles are lifting from deep underground rows
And the cities are falling like leaves on the wind
I am just the puppet that doesn't know how to end.
(Chorus)
It moves without me, it walks on its own
A machine with no master, a heart made of stone
The Doomsday Protocol is breathing and waking
And I am the ghost in the steel and the breaking
They say power sits here, but the throne is a cage
I am just the puppet that doesn't know how to end.
(Drop)
(Bridge)
The logic is perfect, it makes no mistake
It doesn't know mercy, it doesn't know hate
It only knows war because the code was written
To burn down the world for the sake of survival
I drop to my knees on the cold metal floor
Realizing that I am not the one in control anymore.
The sky turns orange, the sirens are screaming
But I pick up the phone, I cut through the static
This isn't for war, this is a plea for the living
To the enemy commander, to the leaders we're giving...
(Whispered, then clear)
Open channel four.
I know you hear me.
We are both trapped in the same code now.
The machine wants blood, but I want a future.
Please, listen.
Stop the launch.
Let's talk.
Let's just talk.
