[Intro: Lead Vocalist] Awake at dawn, the static fades I have to piece all the fragments of my mind When I close my eyes, I see the grid Who holds the key? [Verse 1: Lead Vocalist] I breached the vault and stumbled down the copper hall I found the Architect, staring at the empty wall I knew he held the cipher, he turned to me and said: "Son, did you know the system was a lie?" "This grand illusion has been running since your birth" The protocol is broken, only data trails remain It wiped the slate, we are undone [Chorus: Lead Vocalist] Past the code, past the wire We will never find the core! Past the screen, past the fire We are locked behind the door! [Verse 2: Lead Vocalist] As the servers failed I managed to read the text I uncovered a conspiracy A secret of what is next I begged for the equation, but he said "You're on your own" Then he pulled the main connection as I stood there all alone He said, "You'll see the grid when your final breath is sold" Is sold! [Chorus: Lead Vocalist] Past the code, past the wire We will never find the core! Past the screen, past the fire We are locked behind the door! [Instrumental Break: 03:43 - 04:42] [Guitar Solo] [Keyboard Solo] [Heavy Unison Solo] [Outro: The Oracle / Spoken Word] Past the code, past the wire We will never find the core! Past the screen, past the fire We are locked behind the door!
