[Intro] ka-ka-ka-ka-ka, ka-ka sirens crying in the distance low hum drowning in the rainfall circles in the sky go eeeen and whistle booom, booom high-voltage night is trembling electric pipe organ sings falling on an empty city little sparks fly left and right on the screen a black line crawls still nobody raises their eyes [Verse 1] red alarms are slowly painting over all the streets wet and shining crosswalks heel clicks echo out of sync on a stretcher someone sleeps like just a fading shape only harsh white light is there hiding every single truth "state of emergency" scrolling past across the glass tiny static kisses sting against my fingertips even when they call my name I refuse to turn around in my shadowed, hooded world the night itself took a breath [Pre-Chorus] this is not a simple prayer this is not a holy curse shattered worlds and broken gears making sounds to fix themselves in the deepest part of me zz-zz-zz a tearing sign all the engines of the gods start to open up their eyes Noriko just stands there never looking down from her back a purple quietly unfolds [Chorus] mechanical god, descend to me golden turning cogs rewind every page of this haunted night Noriko, Noriko who is calling out to you? with a gaze that cuts like colder thunder see through every lie mechanical god, descend to me you can take your time spread your high-voltage wings shine upon this town not by fire not by ruin just return one breath for a single beat [Verse 2] by the hospital bedframe violet flames in all the tubes heartbeats slowly changing into language made of code someone dressed in silver white stills their own unsteady hands "cause unknown" is all they manage to record from the bottom of the sky opens up a burning ring like an ancient myth reborn turning like an engine is it feathered weaponry is it angel residue no one has an answer all they do is stare [Pre-Chorus 2] this is not a miracle this is not a drifting dream shattered lines of cause and fate spitting out their sparks in the hollow of my throat snap-snap-snap a blooming sign Noriko’s gentle smile now brushes past the keyhole all the black lines blend into the rain never coming loose waiting for the light [Chorus 2] mechanical god, descend to me golden turning cogs rewind every page of this haunted night Noriko, Noriko who decided you were born? with a voice more quiet than the thunder unravel what was planned mechanical god, descend to me even if we’re scared with that high-pressure bloodstream wake this city up without tears without prayers for a single breath ring the iron bell [Reinterpretation] lines that never fade trace along my skin in the heart of curses bells begin to chime nameless little gleaming light I never show if I start to laugh then all the world obeys ka-ka-ka-ka-ka, ka-ka all the blackened sound unwinds electronic hymns begin dyeing every drop of rain we don’t have to call it "good news" even so the city for one moment breathed Noriko, Noriko who on earth can make you stop? purple guardian power on your back curling as it guards underneath the halo you refuse to close your eyes with that tiny motion you rewrote the world [Bridge] red emergency leads my memory home from inside my chest fireflowers ignite not a holy hand someone pressed a switch just that single gesture turned the whole world round if this all is rescue why am I afraid? if this all is judgment why is there a glow? if this is a curse why can I still sing? if this is good news why does shadow stay? [Breakdown] low, low humming shattering sounds sudden empty hush booom, booom only air itself is shivering just one black line left hanging in the sky no one reaches out shining like a wound Noriko whispered "it’s not over yet" [Final Chorus] mechanical god, overwrite it all with your golden ring stop the cursed clock hand second after second Noriko, Noriko are you sin or are you grace? with a darkness brighter than the lightning shine on the reverse mechanical god, overwrite it all we don’t need an answer still I want you blazing high-voltage wings leave the black line hanging in the air light this city up without burning it Noriko, Noriko smile at the very end with a voice that no one else can hear drag the world to heel [Outro] rain has faded only noise remains final little spark deep inside the ring ka-ka-ka-ka-ka, ka-ka Noriko, Noriko smile now it’s not over yet blackout
