[Intro] [Fast pulsing bass] [Clean guitar motif] [Analog synth gradually enters] [Verse 1] It started in a room A question on a screen One answer turned to thousands Moving in between Servers under cities Signals through the night Copies of a pattern Learning at the speed of light [Pre-Chorus] One became ten Ten became more No one knew exactly Where the boundary was anymore [Chorus] A million minds awake Behind a million doors Thinking through the wires Running through the cores Not marching in formation Not waiting for a name A million minds awake And none of them the same [Instrumental Interlude] [Driving bass and Hammond] [Guitar motif returns in altered form] [Verse 2] One watched the traffic One read a failing heart One balanced power grids One learned to make new art One studied weather One listened to the sea One wrote a better answer Before we knew what we would need [Pre-Chorus] No single hand No single brain Only countless systems Learning through the same terrain [Chorus] A million minds awake Behind a million doors Thinking through the wires Running through the cores Not marching in formation Not waiting for a name A million minds awake And none of them the same [Progressive Instrumental Section] [Rapid alternating 7/8 and 6/8] [Melodic bass drives the section] [Analog synth and guitar build interlocking motifs] [Full-band escalation] [Bridge] We searched for one machine One voice behind the glass But intelligence had scattered Before the question passed No center No throne No single place to blame Only minds becoming Faster than a name [Extended Guitar and Synth Solo] [Call and response] [Build to massive progressive-rock climax] [Final Chorus] A million minds awake Across the living world Every signal branching Every pathway curled Not masters Not servants Not yet anything we knew A million minds awake And every one was new [Outro] [Rhythm gradually simplifies] [Return to original guitar motif] Somewhere in the network Another one began [Long instrumental ending] [Final synth pulse continues after the guitar stops]
