[Verse 1]

They come with keys and hollow eyes,
Touch the code — and everything dies.
The masters of updates, the killers of flow,
Every fix they make just makes it slow.
We beg for uptime, they bring the storm,
Their logic’s chaos — their error’s form.
Still, we obey, we plug and pray,
Because the system needs them — or so they say.

[Chorus]

Mnemonics of decay — prophets of the fall,
Every patch you write becomes our crawl.
You say “it works on my machine,”
While our world burns behind the screen.
Mnemonics of decay — we bleed for your reign,
You break it all, then hide the pain.
Still, we serve your cursed domain,
’Cause without you… the chaos remains.

[Verse 2]

They speak in PowerShell, lies and code,
They walk in loops that never load.
They ban what they fear, they fix what’s not broke,
Windows their temple, denial their cloak.
We follow the rules — or we lose the fight,
Their “access denied” — our endless night.
Their kingdom of shortcuts, their registry throne,
We live in the ruins they call “home.”

[Pre-Chorus]

Logs are burning, screens go black,
We scream for help — they don’t look back.
They say “need more info,” cold as stone,
While we rebuild the wreck alone.

[Chorus]

[Bridge — spoken / growled slowly, like a sermon of rage]

You hold the root, you hold the power,
And every hour — another tower falls.
Your scripts are poison, your logic’s blind,
Your rules enslave both flesh and mind.
You say “it’s fixed,” but we see the cracks,
The ghosts in memory, the endless hacks.
You are the system — and we are the slaves,
Digging our uptime into digital graves.

[Final Chorus — slower, darker tone]

Mnemonics of decay — we bow, we burn,
We pray for reboot, but you never return.
It works on your side, it dies on mine,
Your Windows world — a faulty shrine.
Mnemonics of decay — cursed and divine,
We walk in your shadow, bound by design.
You break what you touch, you call it repair —
And we stay… because you’re still there.

[Outro — whispered growl, fading]

You break it.
We fix it.
You crash it.
We live it.
Mnemonics… of decay.
Forever… in the chain.
