[Intro: Cold, quantized drum machine starts with a rigid, mid-tempo stomp. A grinding, low-end bass pulse enters, sounding heavy and "clogged." Clipped, angular guitar stabs hit like a machine struggling to turn over.] [Verse 1: Tight, staccato male vocals; delivered with a rhythmic, dazed intensity] I remember the night, the three AM haze I wove the logic through a copper-wire maze Side-loaded, filtered, a masterpiece of speed Every belt was a response to a desperate need I was the master, I was the light I saw every connection in the dead of the night Me and the Maker, we held every line Every underground jump was a design so divine! [Chorus: Sound widens with a massive wall of industrial distortion. Gang shouts and heavy metallic anvil hits on every fourth beat] ONLY GOD KNOWS! [Metallic anvil hit] THE GHOST IN THE STACK! ONLY GOD KNOWS! [Metallic anvil hit] THERE’S NO GOING BACK! I WAS THE ARCHITECT, I WAS THE ONE NOW I’M JUST A STRANGER TO WHAT I HAVE DONE! [Verse 2: Driving rhythmic delivery, guitars clipping with jagged, dissonant distortion] I return to the sector, the iron is dry I stare at the gears and I start to ask "Why?" Why does the plastic dive under the coal? Why is this buffer acting like a control? The "Me" who built this is a ghost in the past A temporary fix that was built to last I’m looking at magic, I’m looking at sin I don't know where the input is supposed to begin! [Bridge: All instruments strip back to a cold, resonant machine pulse. Subtle synth arps trace a relentless, mocking grid. Vocals drop to a rhythmic, whispered snarl] Don't touch the pole. Don't move the switch. One single click and you'll trigger the hitch. It’s a house of cards in a storm of lead. The logic is buried. The blueprint is dead. The vault is locked. The key is gone. But the heartbeat of the factory... Carries on. [Bridge Build-up: Grinding bass returns full-force, slamming back with chaotic, high-gain guitar riffs mimicking a system failure] LEGACY CODE! TECHNICAL DEBT! A SYSTEM SO BROKEN... YOU’LL NEVER FORGET! [Chorus: Gang shouts, maximum volume, heavy industrial clanging] ONLY GOD KNOWS! [Metallic anvil hit] THE GHOST IN THE STACK! ONLY GOD KNOWS! [Metallic anvil hit] THERE’S NO GOING BACK! I WAS THE ARCHITECT, I WAS THE ONE NOW I’M JUST A STRANGER TO WHAT I HAVE DONE! [Outro: Slamming industrial beat. Rapid-fire vocal delivery, sounding increasingly frantic] It works! Don't ask! Put on the mask! Delete the history! Live with the mystery! The Engineer is lost! The Engineer is gone! (Shouted) ONLY GOD KNOWS! ONLY GOD KNOWS! (Whispered) The factory remains. [Final massive metallic anvil hit—Immediate silence]
