[INTRO — CORRUPTED BROADCAST] [FX: Radio scanning / electrical interference] [BROADCAST VOICE] "Attention. Unauthorized transmission detected." [FEMALE — whisper] Good. ]MALE — low] Turn it up. [BROADCAST] "Return immediately to your assigned—" [MALE] TURN. IT. UP. [GUITAR SLAM / 909 DROP] [VERSE 1] [MALE] Another number in a concrete hive, Punch that clock just to stay alive. Feed the furnace, swallow the smoke, Smile for the camera— [FEMALE] Pretend you're not broke. [MALE] They sell you fear with a corporate grin, Tell you where you end— [FEMALE] And where they begin. [MALE] But underneath every polished lie— [BOTH] THERE'S A DEAD MACHINE WAITING TO DIE! [PRE-CHORUS] [FEMALE] Can you hear it? [MALE] THUMP! THUMP! [FEMALE] Under the floor? [MALE] THUMP! THUMP! [FEMALE] They're beating on the door. [MALE] One spark— [FEMALE] One wire— [MALE] One beautiful mistake— [BOTH] AND WATCH THE WHOLE DAMN SYSTEM BREAK! [CHORUS] [BOTH] DEAD CIRCUIT SAINTS! We come alive when the power fails! [MALE] DEAD CIRCUIT SAINTS! Hammering rhythm through iron rails! [FEMALE] No absolution, No promised land— [MALE] JUST BLOOD AND STATIC ON OUR HANDS! [BOTH] Raise your fists! Make the machinery shake! DEAD CIRCUIT SAINTS— WE NEVER OBEY!

[Acid 303 rises] [FEMALE] Turn me on... [MALE] SHUT THEM DOWN! [DROP] [VERSE 2] [FEMALE] Pretty little cameras watch me dance, Algorithms begging for another chance. Read my lips through your digital eye— [MALE] SHE'S GOT NOTHING LEFT TO HIDE! [FEMALE] Paint me dangerous, call me obscene, I'm still the prettiest fault in your machine. [MALE] Red lights flashing— [FEMALE] Sirens scream— [BOTH] WELCOME TO YOUR CORPORATE FEVER DREAM! [PRE-CHORUS] [MALE] Pull the lever! [FEMALE] Make it hurt. [MALE] Cut the cable! [FEMALE] Eat the dirt. [MALE] Kill the signal! [FEMALE] Break the frame. [BOTH] WHEN EVERYTHING BURNS THEY'LL REMEMBER OUR NAME! [CHORUS] [BOTH] DEAD CIRCUIT SAINTS! We come alive when the power fails! [MALE] DEAD CIRCUIT SAINTS! Hammering rhythm through iron rails! [FEMALE] No absolution, No promised land— [MALE] JUST BLOOD AND STATIC ON OUR HANDS! [BOTH] Raise your fists! Make the machinery shake! DEAD CIRCUIT SAINTS— WE NEVER OBEY! [BREAKDOWN — INDUSTRIAL STOMP] [Tempo drops into a crushing half-time guitar groove] [MALE] LEFT! [FEMALE] RIGHT! [MALE] LEFT! [FEMALE] FIGHT! [FEMALE — snarling] You can brand my number on the back of my neck— [MALE] WHAT DO WE SAY? [FEMALE] Reject. [MALE] WHAT?! [FEMALE] REJECT! [MALE] LOUDER! [BOTH] REJECT! REJECT! REJECT! [Gang vocals] HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! [BRIDGE — FEMALE CLEAN VOCAL] [Dark synth pads / distant choir / heartbeat kick] [FEMALE] When the towers lose their voices, When the screens all fade to black, Will you remember who you were [MALE] before they taught you how to act? When the silence finally finds you, When there's nowhere left to hide... [Distortion gradually consumes vocal] Will you kneel before the circuit— [FEMALE — SNARL] OR TEAR THE FUCKER OUT FROM INSIDE?! [MALE — BUILD] [MALE] Rip! [FEMALE] It. [MALE] Out! [FEMALE] Rip it out. [MALE] Rip! [FEMALE] It. [MALE] OUT! [BOTH] KILL THE POWER! [FINAL CHORUS / DOUBLE-TIME EDM] [BOTH] DEAD CIRCUIT SAINTS! We come alive when the power fails! [MALE] DEAD CIRCUIT SAINTS! No fucking gods inside these rails! [FEMALE] No absolution, No master's hand— [MALE] WE BUILT OUR OWN FORBIDDEN LAND! [BOTH] Raise your fists! Let the whole world shake! DEAD CIRCUIT SAINTS! DEAD CIRCUIT SAINTS! DEAD CIRCUIT SAINTS— WE NEVER OBEY! [OUTRO — SYSTEM COLLAPSE] [Machinery slowing / synth detuning] [BROADCAST VOICE] "Order has been restored." [Silence] [FEMALE — whisper] Has it? [Electrical click] [MALE — distant] NO. [Massive final guitar hit] [BROADCAST] "Warning... multiple unauthorized transmitters detected." [FEMALE] How many? [Static swelling] [BROADCAST] "All of them." [CUT TO SILENCE]
