INTRO Black seal, red light A clock beneath the floor The sky is at the threshold And they can't hold the door VERSE 1 Forty-six videos called for, eight released to the flame Seven shadows buried deep beneath a classified name They say the truth would break us, set the streets alight But panic isn't what they fear-- It's the ledger in the night PRE-CHORUS Billions in the bloodstream Contracts dressed as fate They strip the stars for secrets Then sell them back at a higher rate CHORUS The vault opens before the election The deadline's burning through the wire Disclosure isn't their concession-- It's a truth they cannot muzzle, cannot buy, cannot retire The vault opens, the silence shatters The lock gives way, the whole world sees They didn't grant us revelation-- It's being forced from their grip by the skies and the seas VERSE 2 Recovered craft in hangars, cold machines beneath the ground Reverse-engineered miracles passed quietly around Contractors forge the future, then invoice the state A fortune built on stolen stars And a deadline at the gate PRE-CHORUS A whistle cuts the blackout: "Before the vote, it breaks" The warning climbs the watchtower While the buried thunder wakes CHORUS The vault opens before the election The deadline's burning through the wire Disclosure isn't their concession-- It's a truth they cannot muzzle, cannot buy, cannot retire The vault opens, the silence shatters The lock gives way, the whole world sees They didn't grant us revelation-- It's being forced from their grip by the skies and the seas BRIDGE The remote viewers saw the message Written where the starfields roll: The Galactic Federation's ultimatum-- "Speak to them, or we will." Then waves of craft above the cities Then the midnight split with light Trigger events across the planet Till the hidden burns in sight They are one race and we are many They know they are the one percent And we are the ninety-nine No throne can own the heavens No border binds the night BREAKDOWN Not granted! Forced! The truth is coming through! Not granted! Forced! The sky is breaking through! VERSE 3 The cameras catch the impossible The towers lose their hold The files spill out like black rain The secrets bought and sold No speech can stop the signal No seal can make it wait The clock hands strike the hour And the world unbars the gate FINAL CHORUS The vault opens before the election The deadline's burning through the wire Disclosure isn't their concession-- It's a truth they cannot muzzle, cannot buy, cannot retire The vault opens, the silence shatters The lock gives way, the whole world sees They didn't grant us revelation-- It's being forced from their grip by the skies and the seas OUTRO Forty-six called Eight returned The rest still wait behind the wall But the heavens have their deadline And the night will tell it all The vault opens The vault opens The vault opens before the fall
