MM1.0.5-A: Containment (Kaiden) (L58)

[Intro] Wake me up… I see the light… I’ve had enough... So hold on tight… [Vocoder, Spoken:] “WARNING… ...WARNING… ...BREACH DETECTED… INITIALIZING CONTAINMENT PROTOCOLS IN FIVE… ...FOUR… ...THREE… …TWO…” [Vocoder, Spoken, Glitching:] “ONE--ONE--ONE--ONE--ONE--ONE--ONE--ONE--” [Verse 1] Alert my senses to the census-- System failure-- O- Override-- A world bereft and rife with penance-- Set the anchor-- Memeticide-- I gave it all, And I got nothing. Took the fall, My blood still rushing. I saw a good that wasn’t there, And though I did my best to care, My enemies just don’t play fair, Determined now to crush me. But all is as it must be… The circuitry is rusting, But I don’t need it now. No, I don’t need to drown. Mend my broken crown, The world turned upside-down, They’ll tremble at the sound Of everything I am… Behold my master plan... [Hook] Revise-- Redact-- De-Realize-- I hold the power in my grasp. Advise-- Attack-- And Equalize-- I’ll lock it down, and hold it fast. [Music Break] [Verse 2] I’ve had this noose around my neck- Secure, Contain, Protect- But I never know what’s coming next, So I defect… To purge this sick infection, Find myself a new direction, And I deduce in my inspection, Things have gotten out of hand… A brave new world at my command… And... There are some things I cannot stand, So I resolve to end them promptly. For all the awful things I am, At least I knew what it would cost me. It cost me everything… And anything… That made me look like you. I lost my sanity… Divinity… And what I once held true. So this is what I’ll do... [Hook] Revise-- Redact-- De-Realize-- I hold the power in my grasp. Advise-- Attack-- And Equalize-- I’ll lock it down, and hold it fast. [Chorus] It’s time you faced the music, Step right up for your… Arraignment. You had it, you abused it, Now I’ll see to your... Containment. [Music Break] [Bridge] It’s never over… Til it’s over… Lay to rest… Crimson and Clover… Every fantasy laid bare... Every whisper, now thin air… I just have to stop and stare… At the world upon my shoulders… Growing colder… And colder… And colder… And… I… [Hook] Revise-- Redact-- De-Realize-- I hold the power in my grasp. Advise-- Attack-- And Equalize-- I’ll lock it down, and hold it fast. [Chorus] It’s time you faced the music, Step right up for your… Arraignment. You had it, you abused it, Now I’ll see to your... Containment. [Outro] The Neon Feathers on the ground… The shades of Black and Blue around… That Requiem, a haunting sound… A clockwork heartbeat, how it pounds… All set to fade to black. Take the key, and… Never… Ever give it back… [END]
