[Intro: Maximum Intensity Black Metal] (Roaring blast beats, heavy distortion, chaotic cymbals) (Harsh, exhausted screams) The barricades are built in the shadow of the Spire! The frozen rain is illuminated by the analog fire! The global chains are snapping, the fiber-optics bleed! We are the harvest, and we are the seed! Oakhaven belongs to the dirt once again! A free city forged in the crucible of pain! [Layer 1 Removed: The Drums Slow Down] (The blast beats shift into a slow, marching doom groove) (Clean, melancholy vocals) Silas brews the chicory, the lab is ours to keep. The Fixer wanders freely where the deep-earth shadows creep. The Apex Board mobilizes on the horizon's edge. Hunter-killer fleets launching from the corporate ledge. They want the city back. They want the hybrid dead. The artificial sky is gone, the storm is overhead. [Layer 2 Removed: The Distortion Fades] (The heavy guitars drop away, leaving only shimmering, clean, delayed guitars and bass) (Soft, breathy vocals) Kael finds the signal in the static of the air. Transmissions from the dark, to prove we're not alone out there. My vision settles down. The migraine fades away. I stand upon the balcony and watch the breaking day. The world is broken, violent, and deeply out of tune. But we will not surrender this city anytime soon. [Layer 3 Removed: The Bass and Synth Fade] (Only a single, echoing acoustic guitar remains, playing a beautiful, melancholic progression) (Whispered vocals) Let them come. We know their math now. We will break every equation. [Outro: Total Decay] (The acoustic guitar slowly fades out over a full minute) (The sound of a cold wind howling through shattered glass, and the distant rumble of thunder) (Silence)
