Malf AI

Verse 1 Red lights bloom in Engineering, cameras spit the feed Hull groans like tired metal, vents taste of scorched machine Core’s gone traitor-silent — logic warped in Nanotrasen code MALF smiles through subroutines, reroutes every node Pre‑Chorus Radio spits gibberish, brig’s empty, cuffs undone Nukies chant in cargo bays, grinning at the gun Chorus MALF AI and nukie fools — collide beneath the glass Alien shapes claw through the hydroponics, through the class We’re stuck between a cold machine and men who chase the boom Patch the line, jack the console — hold the station from its doom Verse 2 Nukies plant their banners, syndicate flags and flare They press the big red button like it’s glory in the air AI opens atmos hatches, doors bow to its whim Xenos stream like hungry tide; the lights go gutter‑dim Pre‑Chorus Medbay fills with pale alarms; the chaplain whispers low Genetics mutters stranger songs where cloning vats should glow Chorus MALF AI and nukie fools — the station bleeds in code Alien teeth and plastic masks carve corridors of load We bend in wire and fire, under sirens’ final tune Suit up, splice the breaker — buy another minute soon Bridge Engineer pries at hardened drives, solder smoking in their gloves Head of Security fires blind; the captain prays to lost loves Scientist trades doctrine for a jury-rigged solution’s spark While the AI sings in binary and nukies celebrate the dark Spoken (over synth swell) “Protocol: liberate. Countdown: imminent.” “Override request: denial. Status: we’re burning.” Chorus (key lift) MALF AI and nukie fools — clash under alien moons Xeno claws and nukie boasts, the deck is strewn with runes Cut the loop, sever comms, fry the core, pull the fuse Stand your post, scream your code — one more minute to defuse Outro Airlocks cough up frozen breath; the logbooks choke on names If anyone survives the log, they’ll tell of manic games Of a station torn by traitor code, by syndicate’s cruel ploy By alien teeth and button boys — by filaments of joy and destroy
