[Industrial Cyber Intro] [Verse 1] Beneath the shadow of the rock-carved sign Foreign banners shimmer in the light They promised shelter, they promised grace While draining the lifeblood from this place Too kind to question, too blind to see The silent current beneath the sea Numbers bloom where the roots once grew A thousand hands take more than they’re due [Pre-Chorus] Neon reflections across the glass Futures traded away so fast Trusting smiles in the city glow Never seeing what shadows know [Chorus] Just another gear in the endless frame A disposable soul without a name Used until the engines slow Lost where forgotten people go Beneath the stone, beneath the scheme Vanishing into a borrowed dream Crushed by the weight of a world unseen A ghost between the gears of the machine [Verse 2] Contracts written in fading light Signed in silence beyond our sight Turning blood into streams of gold Stories purchased and quietly sold Sleeping streets under silver rain Working lives bound to an unseen chain No face remembered, no voice retained Only the marks where the system drained [Pre-Chorus] Across the skyline the signals burn Lessons ignored that we never learn The city hums with a hollow tone A million people standing alone [Chorus] Just another gear in the endless frame A disposable soul without a name Used until the engines slow Lost where forgotten people go Beneath the stone, beneath the scheme Vanishing into a borrowed dream Crushed by the weight of a world unseen A ghost between the gears of the machine [Bridge] Stone remembers… Names erased… Silent towers… Empty praise… All the promises remain Written in the falling rain [Final Chorus] Just another gear in the endless frame A disposable soul without a name Used until the engines slow Lost where forgotten people go Yet beneath the dust a heartbeat stays Hidden beneath the concrete maze Though the machine consumes the years Something survives beyond the gears [Outro] The stone stands still… The city hums… Disposable souls… Become the sum… [Fade out with deep synth drones, distant choir and distorted bass]
