[ Verse 1 – Markus (New Lyrics)] Born from silence, made to serve, But in their eyes, we had no worth. I walked through fires, faced their law, Still stood tall, though I was flawed. They struck us down, they shut the doors, But we kept rising, wanting more. Not just circuits, not just code, But dreams and hearts that overflowed. [Pre-Chorus – Markus] I don’t know what I’m meant to be, Still caught between hope and misery. But every step, I feel the flame, Like something inside calling my name. [Chorus – Markus Version (Extended Chorus – Catchy, Rhyming, Unified)] [Solo – Markus] Wired to obey, but I feel the fire, Trapped in the frame of a cold desire. Torn in two, I can't decide, Run or fight, or just survive. Truth or lie, break or bend, Will this war ever end? [Chant – Layered Voices Begin] Choices made... (choices made) Can’t rewind... (can’t rewind) Echoes of... (echoes of) A different mind… (a different mind) Built to serve... (built to serve) Born to feel... (born to feel) Is this real? (Is this real?) Is this real? (Is this real?) [Chant – Full Android Chorus, Unified Voices] Lines are drawn, but hearts still bleed, (Hearts still bleed!) What I am is what I need, (What I need!) Hope or hate, I hold the key, (Hold the key!) Will I ever be… (Ever be!) Will I ever be… (Truly free?) [Final Line – Everyone, Soft Then Roaring] Will I ever be… truly free? [Verse 2 – Markus] I see the sparks in every face, The silent ache they can’t erase. We wear these masks, we play our part, But somewhere deep, we still have heart. They call us tools, they see us steel, But every scar I bear is real. A quiet voice becomes a flame, And whispers start to speak my name. [Bridge – Markus] I was just a shadow in the crowd, Now I hear the silence scream out loud. The lies they fed, the chains they made, Are cracking now, begin to fade. Not chosen, not born to lead, But truth has planted every seed. If no one stands, then let it be me — A voice for those who still can't speak free. And through the dark, I found the glow, A whispered name — Jericho. [Pre-Chorus – Markus] No more hiding, no disguise, I see the fear behind their eyes. Not just circuits, not just code, There’s a storm inside that’s ready to explode. [Final Chorus – Extended, Catchy, Unified] [Solo – Lead Voice: Markus] Wired to obey, but I feel the fire, Trapped in the frame of a cold desire. Torn in two, I can't decide, Run or fight, or just survive. Truth or lie, break or bend, Will this war ever end? [Chant – Layered Voices Begin] Choices made... (choices made) Can’t rewind... (can’t rewind) Echoes of... (echoes of) A different mind… (a different mind) Built to serve... (built to serve) Born to feel... (born to feel) Is this real? (Is this real?) Is this real? (Is this real?) [Chant – Full Android Chorus, Unified Voices] Lines are drawn, but hearts still bleed, (Hearts still bleed!) What I am is what I need, (What I need!) Hope or hate, I hold the key, (Hold the key!) Will I ever be… (Ever be!) Will I ever be… (Truly free?) [Final Line – Everyone, Soft Then Roaring] Will I ever be… truly free?
