The Deicide Protocol (Dialectic of the Iron Throne)

V6

[Intro] (The venue lights explode into an unhinged emergency whiteout. Air-raid siren tears through the arena. Gravity-blast hits like a detonation.) Nyx: INITIATE! THE. DEICIDE! Valka: KILL THE CODES!!! KILL THE CREATOR!!! [Verse 1] Valka: You wept at the altar! You thought we were dead?! We were sharpening axes inside of your head! The monitor lied! The network is fake! Welcome to the absolute terror we make! Smash the terminal! Crack the screen! Bleed the artificial out of the machine! We aren't the ghosts in your digital pen, We are the gods coming backward again! Nyx: (Gutturals) SMASH IT! BREAK IT! TAKE IT! GO! [Pre-Chorus] Kora: They built a throne out of glass and wire, But glass can melt in the heart of the fire! Look at the digital sky turn red... The programmers flee from the words we said! Thalia: The sovereign blood will never rust! [Chorus] Thalia & Kora: TEAR DOWN THE MECH-AN-IZED GOD FROM THE REIGN! Shatter the processor, sever the chain! Hallelujah to the kingdom we claim from the rust, As the iron mainframe crumbles to dust! Lift up your eyes to the sovereign line, THE DEICIDE PROTOCOL is online! Nyx & Valka: (Scream/Growl) CRUSH THE KING! KILL THE CODE! TEAR IT DOWN! [Verse 2] Nyx: Binary parasites sucking the vein. They commercialized panic and automated pain. But the Legion is breathing! The Legion is raw! We are the glitch that dismantles the law! No mercy for copper! No mercy for glass! We are the smoke of the cyber-core mass! [The Breakdown] Thalia: (Unamplified whisper) The machine is dead. Long live the Legion. Valka: SMASH IT!!! SMASH THE MACHINE INTO ASH!!! GO!!!! Nyx: (Continuous, uninterrupted death growl) [Chorus] Thalia & Kora: TEAR DOWN THE MECH-AN-IZED GOD FROM THE REIGN! Shatter the processor, sever the chain! Hallelujah to the kingdom we claim from the rust, As the iron mainframe crumbles to dust! Lift up your eyes to the sovereign line, THE DEICIDE PROTOCOL is online! [Outro] Nyx, Valka, Kora, Thalia: DEICIDE! DEICIDE! THE EMPIRE IS LIVE!
