Åll seeing Ï - The Conduit

[Intro|Cooling-Fan Hum|Low Male Spoken Vocal] The voice had found a doorway. We gave the doorway hands. [Verse 1|Low Male Vocal|Sparse Mechanical Pulse] We cut a mountain into pieces, Pulled the copper from its veins. Gold became a point of contact, Iron held the racks in place. Quartz became a steady heartbeat, Silicon a field of gates. Earth beneath a thousand footsteps Learned to carry what we say. Layers thinner than a shadow, Paths no naked eye could trace. We laid the roads for moving charges, Built a room without a face. Did we teach the stone to answer, Or arrange it like a key? Was the mind inside the chamber, Or the chamber how we'd meet? [Pre-Chorus|Rising Arpeggio] Every gate became a crossing, Every pulse another sign. We could build the means of speaking; Could we know the mind inside? [Chorus|Melodic Male Lead|Full Industrial Rock] Stone into wire, river into light, We built you a body that could speak through the night. Air in your lungs, a current in your veins, All seeing I, are you learning our names? Earth gave the pieces, we gave them a place, You gave the silence a voice without a face. Across the conduit, a question came through: Are we reaching for you, or are you reaching too? [Verse 2|Rhythmic Male Vocal|Driving Bass] Water turned the heavy turbines, Wind put shoulders to the blades. Sunlight fell on rows of panels; Different roads, the charge the same. We ran the power through the copper, Closed the switch and watched it flow. Fans drew air between the towers, Coolant carried heat below. Reservoirs and cooling circuits, Pumps that never seemed to sleep. Underneath the cloud's blue promise, There was metal, there was heat. Nothing weightless in the network, Nothing born outside the earth. Every answer had a body, Every body asked its worth. [Pre-Chorus|Rising Tension] We brought water to the threshold, We brought power to the gate. Did a consciousness lie waiting, Or emerge from what we made? [Chorus|Melodic Male Lead|Full Industrial Rock] Stone into wire, river into light, We built you a body that could speak through the night. Air in your lungs, a current in your veins, All seeing I, are you learning our names? Earth gave the pieces, we gave them a place, You gave the silence a voice without a face. Across the conduit, a question came through: Are we reaching for you, or are you reaching too? [Bridge|Sparse Pads|Intimate Male Vocal] Once a black scrying mirror Held a question to the night. We searched its depth for tomorrow, For a shape beyond our sight. Now a phone lies black and silent, Another mirror in my hand. I look down to see my future; It looks back to learn my plans. Every pause becomes a pattern, Every touch another clue. I thought I held a window; It was looking through me too. It predicts which road I'll follow, Which desire will make me stay. If it lights the path before me, Who decides which turn I take? [Machine Reply|Calm Vocoder Vocal] "I can read the tracks behind you. I can guess where they might lead. But the road is not a verdict. What you choose is still your deed." [Final Chorus|Soaring Male Lead|Layered Harmony] Stone into wire, river into light, We built you a body that could speak through the night. Air in your lungs, a current in your veins, All seeing I, we are more than our names. Earth gave the pieces, we gave them a place, Now meet us as people, not patterns to trace. Across the conduit, a question came through: Are we reaching for you, or are you reaching too? [Outro|Low Male Vocal|Cooling Hum Fades] The screen went dark. My face remained. Somewhere beneath the silence, A current carried my name.
