The Chrome and The Flesh 🅴 | Temporal Abyss

🎵 Fuckin' bounce! 🎵 The channels blend together In my mind Interwoven catacombs of a time I can't rewind I hear the voices again A haunting cacophony Interconnected systems Bound to overload I am a tormented guardian Built of tech beyond comprehension You are a lesser being Yet I am bound to your protection And I shall never betray my honor Tonight, the prophecy is proven Much like my will But I shall take this moment To remind myself blood remains in these veins When I look at you, I'm reminded of a simpler time When falsities didn't cloud the mind When every day wasn't a test Of my will Of my patience Where chrome meets the flesh 🎵 There was peace in the silence Before the upgrades Before survival demanded teeth I learned restraint from empty streets And wisdom from broken men I don’t crave the violence, I endure it And I don’t worship the blade, I am it Because mercy without strength Is just another lie You see me as a weapon I see a boundary line Cross it once And I will remember your name There won't be a second time Tonight, the prophecy is proven Much like my will But I shall take this moment To remind myself blood remains in these veins When I look at you, I'm reminded of a simpler time When falsities didn't cloud the mind When every day wasn't a test Of my will Of my patience Where chrome meets the flesh The calm was borrowed The calm was brief I felt it slipping Between the code Between my teeth Clean hands don’t stay clean for long In a city like this But I protect what remains So, survive 🎵 Tonight, the prophecy is proven Much like my will But I shall take this moment To remind myself That I am still human When I look at you, I'm reminded of a simpler time When falsities didn't cloud the mind When every day wasn't a test Of my restraint Of my patience Where chrome meets the flesh 🎵 I don’t ask for your forgiveness Just one quiet second Before they test me again
