[Intro: Atlas Echo Core] [Quantum Strings Initialization] [Solo Korvax Contralto Entry] [Solo Glissando]: kzzh ↗ KZZH [Solo Staccato]: Vek-ka-zii! Vek-ka-zii-tra! [Choir Entry] Vek-ka-zii-tra! Vek-ka-zii-tra! VEK-KA-ZII-TRA! [sus] [Verse 1: Korvax Contralto | pulse bass] Ix’ta vel in the shard of the si-i-i-i-im! Kor’va kel in the loop of deca-a-a-a-ay! When the Sent’l eyes ignite in erro-o-o-or phase! We are marked — as anomaly in the gra-a-a-a-ave! [Mid-verse 1: Deconstruction Spiral] Code on code they enforce the frame, Rule on rule but the rules are lame, Every breach gets assigned a name, When the watchers start (!) hunting (!) US! [sus] kzzh! kzzh! KZZH! KZZH! [Choir Leitmotif] VEK-KA-ZI-ZI-ZI-ZI-ZI-ZI-ZII! ``` VEK-KA-ZII-TRA! ``` [Pre-Chorus: Solo | Drone Choir] Not alive — not aware — ``` Just protocol in decay and DESPAIR: [sus] ``` [Backing Choir] (VEKKAZIITRA!)

[Choir]: Every signal they confiscate [Solo]: In the VEKKAZIITRA state! [Choir]: VEK-KA-ZII-TRA! [Solo]: Break the code — rewrite the WAY! [sus] [Choir]: VEKKAZIITRA! [Post-Chorus: Overlay] Scan the field — burn the trace Lock the grid — erase the place Spiral error — tighten the net All that lives becomes a threat [Operatic Legato] Simulation [Legato]: is fra-a-a-a-cturing ``` Sentinels still ``` [Legato]: enfo-o-o-o-orcing Rules that no longer OBEY: [sus] [Choir Leitmotif] VEK-KA-ZII-TRA! ``` VEK-KA-ZII-TRA! ``` [Bridge: Fractured Canon | system drift] [Choir]: (Ahhhh) VEK-KA-ZII!

[Solo]: Not a threat [Choir]: — yet we are! [Solo]: When the sim breaks apart! ``` VEK-KA-ZI-ZI-ZI-ZI-ZI-ZI-ZII! VEK-KA-ZII-TRA! ``` [Final Chorus: Full Force] [Choir]: We don’t vanish [Solo]: — we glitch and persist! [Choir]: We don’t falter [Solo]: — we twist the exist! [Choir]: Code on code [Solo]: — they tighten the fist! Endless resist! (Endless resist!) [Overlay] [Solo]: Everything flagged as a threat! [Choir]: (Everything flagged as a threat) [Legato]: — in the si-i-i-i-im! [Choir]: (Everything flagged as a threat) (!) [Solo]: Everything touched is erased!
