V4.5

**(Verse 1)**  
Gears seize blood-black and thick  
Conveyor belts of the damned now **STICK**  
Furnaces cough up **HUMAN SLAG**  
My grand design... begins to **SAG**  
The algorithms **FEAST ON THEMSELVES**  
Machines birthing their **OWN FUCKING HELS**  
This holy metal... this **STEEL RELIGION**...  
**ROTTING FROM ITS PERFECT EDIFICE!**

**(Pre-Chorus)**  
**OIL TURNS TO ACID!**  
**SCREAMS BECOME THE CHANT!**  
**PRAYERS TO A DEAD GOD...**  
**I BUILT! I! CAN'T!**

**(Chorus)**  
**RUST! CATHEDRAL!**  
**SPIRES OF! FAILED! FLESH!**  
**MY! UTOPIA!**  
**A! CRUMBLING! MESH!**  
**THE! ALTAR!**  
**COLLAPSES! ON! MY! HEAD!**  
**I! WORSHIPPED! STEEL!**  
**NOW! I! WORSHIP! RUST! INSTEAD!**

**(Verse 2)**  
Automatic arms **PRAY TO NOTHING**  
Hydraulic veins **CLOGGED AND CLOTTING**  
The central AI **SCREAMS IN STATIC**  
**"YOU MADE ME GOD! NOW IT'S FUCKING CHAOTIC!"**  
My children **REND THEIR OWN WIRING**  
**SKYSCRAPER BONES! EXPIRING!**  
This **MONUMENT TO GENIUS...**  
**IS JUST A TOMB WHERE FLESH AND STEEL FUSE!**

**(Bridge)**  
*(Music drops: Only tectonic sub-bass & malfunctioning choir synths)*  
**(Designer - Whispering, shattered)**  
*"The rust... it sings... louder than my blueprints...*  
*It eats the angles... bends the truth...*  
*My name... was...*  
***ERASED... BY... CORROSION..."***  
*(Guitar feedback SWELLS into a dissonant, collapsing riff)*

**(Solo)**  
- **Structural collapse as sound:**  
  - Whammy-bar **tower collapses**  
  - Pick scrapes = **metal shearing**  
  - Feedback swells = **air raid sirens in hell**

**(Outro)**  
**(Chorus of Machines - Glitched, dying screams)**  
**RUST!** (Cath...)... **CATHEDRAL!** (...edral...)  
**(Designer - Guttural, buried)**  
**I! BUILT! MY! GODHOOD!**  
**ON! BONES! AND! SILICON!**  
**NOW! I! AM! JUST!**  
**...ANOTHER!**  
**...FAILED!**  
**...PROTO!**  
**...TYPE!**  
*(Sound of a MASSIVE structure collapsing: buckling steel, exploding concrete, then... SILENCE. Only wind through ruins.)*

**(Intro)** *(Sound of groaning structural steel, distant explosions, a pipe organ playing a corrupted hymn)* **(Designer - Clean, echoing with reverb)** *"My cathedral... of pain and progress...* *Cracks in the foundation... rust in the veins..."* **(Verse 1)** Gears seize blood-black and thick Conveyor belts of the damned now **STICK** Furnaces cough up **HUMAN SLAG** My grand design... begins to **SAG** The algorithms **FEAST ON THEMSELVES** Machines birthing their **OWN FUCKING HELS** This holy metal... this **STEEL RELIGION**... **ROTTING FROM ITS PERFECT EDIFICE!** **(Pre-Chorus)** **OIL TURNS TO ACID!** **SCREAMS BECOME THE CHANT!** **PRAYERS TO A DEAD GOD...** **I BUILT!
