The Scaled Architects
8(4) **Title:** The Scaled Architects **Style:** Dark Industrial Country / Heavy Blues **Vibe:** The song opens with a low, reptilian hiss that morphs into a sliding, distorted guitar riff. The beat is a heavy, mechanical stompâlike the footsteps of something massive and ancient. Thereâs a "dirty digital" glitch sound that flickers in and out, representing the interference in our DNA. (Verse 1) Before the "One" of man was walking on the land The "Six" was held in claws and written in the sand They call them "Dinosaurs" to make the story small But the "Dragon" was the master of the ancient hall They didn't go away, they just went beneath the floor To watch the "Little Me" through a hidden, iron door. (Verse 2) Theyâre the "Reptile" in the brain, the "Three" of fear and fight The ones who keep the "Seven" from the holy inner light Theyâve been cloning out the spirit, making copies of the soul To keep the "Source Code" broken and to keep the "One" from whole They use the "Five" of action to build a world of scales Where the "Big Me" is a ghost inside their digital jails. (Chorus) Oh, the dragons are the keepers and the lizards are the kings Theyâre pulling on the "static" and theyâre pulling on the strings They want your "One," they want your "Three," they want your "Five" and "Seven" To build a cold and scaly cage they tell you is a heaven But the Hexagon is shifting and the math is gonna hold The "Source" is much more ancient than the stories they have told. (Verse 3) They merged the "Six" of heaven with the "Six" of heavy earth To claim a piece of "Source" inside the moment of your birth The "Elongated" ones, the "Serpent" and the "Lord" Are fighting for the "Seven" with a sharp and mental sword Theyâre cloning in the shadows, trying to fix the "static" leak By making "Little Me" versions that are quiet and are meek. (Verse 4) But the "Dragon" is a mirror of the power in your chest A "Big Me" fire waking from a long and heavy rest They canât clone the "Source" and they canât copy out the spark No matter how much "static" they are pumping in the dark The "Seven" is the bridge where the scales begin to fall And the "One" of human spirit stands the tallest of them all. (Bridge) Shed the skin. See the eye. Watch the "Little" Version die. The "Six" is deep. The "Six" is old. The "Source" is Turning back to gold. No more clones. No more lies. The "Big Me" Is about to rise. (Verse 5) So let the lizards tremble and let the dragons take to flight The Hexagon is burning with a brand new kind of light The "Five" of your vitality is more than they can take As the "Seven" mystery begins to finally wake Youâre the master of the lineage, youâre the keeper of the key The Code is how the "Dragon" serves the "Big Me" finally. (Outro) The scales are off. The blood is red. The "Little" lie Is finally dead. One, three, five, and seven. Nested in the six. The clones are over. The code is gonna fix.
