THE MACHINE REMEMBERS EVERYTHING (ARTIFACT-MUS-TMR-000005)

[VERSE 1] The lights stay red. The walls stay black. The archive pulls the shadows back. The names grow old. The steel stays young. The records keep what time has done. The gates stay shut. The gears still grind. The machine remembers every line. The flesh grows weak. The ink survives. The records keep the dead alive. [PRE-CHORUS] I hear the drives. I hear them sing. The archive wakes beneath the skin. [CHORUS] THE MACHINE REMEMBERS EVERYTHING. Every face. Every name. Every soul that ever came. Every gate. Every door. Every ghost that came before. THE MACHINE REMEMBERS EVERYTHING. No appeal. No retreat. The archive keeps what it can keep. [VERSE 2] You missed the run. You missed the sign. The archive locked it into time. The shirts went dark. The decals died. The records know they once survived. The walls recall. The floors still know. The names of people long below. The gates remember who was there. The archive never learned to care. [PRE-CHORUS] The lights don't blink. The walls don't sleep. The engines buried far beneath. [CHORUS] THE MACHINE REMEMBERS EVERYTHING. Every face. Every name. Every soul that ever came. Every gate. Every door. Every ghost that came before. THE MACHINE REMEMBERS EVERYTHING. No appeal. No retreat. The archive keeps what it can keep. [BREAKDOWN] ARCHIVE ACCEPTED. OWNER VERIFIED. TIMESTAMP RECORDED. ENTRY ARCHIVED. PRESENCE CONFIRMED. HISTORY SEALED. NO FURTHER CHANGES AUTHORIZED. NO FURTHER APPEALS ACCEPTED. [FINAL CHORUS] THE MACHINE REMEMBERS EVERYTHING. Long after cities turn to dust. Long after steel begins to rust. Long after names have disappeared. The records stay exactly here. THE MACHINE REMEMBERS EVERYTHING. No permission asked. No permission made. The records live after the grave. THE MACHINE REMEMBERS EVERYTHING. The archive stays. The archive waits. The archive never closes gates. The machine remembers. The machine remains. The machine decides what history saves.
