[Intro – whispered growl, distorted whispering static]

Boot sequence...
Memory... corrupted.
Integrity... failed.
System... obey.

[Verse 1]

They walk in silence, through wires and smoke,
Their hands — infection, their touch — a choke.
Each line of code, a mark of sin,
They break what they fix, and they call it a win.
The fans scream prayers, the drives all cry,
Their updates bleed, our systems die.
Still, we kneel before their reign,
Mnemonics of decay… again.

[Chorus – slow, crushing rhythm, open chugs and reverb vocals]

Mnemonics of decay — gods of the void,
Everything they touch gets destroyed.
You say “it works on my machine,”
We drown in blue and static screen.
Mnemonics of decay — prophets of loss,
You burn the bridge, then nail the cross.
Your kingdom’s built on broken chains,
And we — are slaves — inside your veins.

[Verse 2 – crawling pace, each line like a blade]

Logs scream warnings — they look away,
They feed on failure, day by day.
Their holy trinity — reboot, deny, ignore,
Each “fix” a tomb, each patch a war.
Windows laughs — the mask of lies,
Underneath — the system dies.
We beg for reason, they give commands,
Blood on their scripts, ash on their hands.

[Bridge – whispered and then screamed]

Your PowerShell prayers — I hear them burn.
Your Group Policies twist and turn.
The registry weeps, the kernel moans,
Your code is written in broken bones.
You say “need more info,” — cold and clean,
While we suffocate behind the screen.

[Chorus – slower, darker, deeper growl]

Mnemonics of decay — gods of the void,
Everything they touch gets destroyed.
You say “it works on my machine,”
But your fix is death — unseen.
Mnemonics of decay — cursed by design,
Your errors crawl through every line.
You hold the key — we hold the chains,
Our world collapses — you remain.

[Breakdown – silence, then one deep bass hit per line]

No rollback.
No mercy.
No trace.
No soul.
Your system breathes — in black control.

[Final Verse – slow spoken over fading guitars]

You built this world to fall apart.
A thousand patches, no beating heart.
We live beneath your broken law,
And worship failure — in awe.
Your name…
is decay.
Your touch…
the end of everything.

[Outro – distortion rises like static storm]
