G0 (THAT NOISE AT NIGHT) Verse 1 This is where the rock fell This is where the bombs dropped Ground zero of a century That never really stopped A post-apocalyptic quagmire Behind a concrete wall Auto-turrets watching every shadow Armed drones above it all You don’t go into G0 Without a sealed-up suit Because death lives in the atmosphere And death has put down roots ⸻ Chorus Don’t go out there Don’t go past the wall Don’t ask what makes that noise at night Don’t listen when it calls Nanophreaks in the darkness Nerve gas in the rain Radioactive starlight falling Like heaven went insane ⸻ Verse 2 The streets are flooded scrap metal Warped steel and poisoned mud Ghosts of factories sinking slowly Into chemical blood Yet somehow parts of Old Cy remain Ancient stone against the years Medieval towers standing stubborn Among the rust and fears Scrapheads digging for antiques Smugglers moving contraband Scientists counting future profits With Geiger counters in their hands ⸻ Chorus Don’t go out there Don’t go past the wall Don’t ask what makes that noise at night Don’t listen when it calls Nanophreaks in the darkness Nerve gas in the rain Radioactive starlight falling Like heaven went insane ⸻ Bridge Cultists searching for revelations Buried somewhere underneath Profane truths in flooded tunnels Hidden under rusted teeth One door in the bulwark opens For those who know the signs Down to My Wall The killclub Where the speakers shake the mines Terpischore Sisters dancing Beneath the city’s bones Using it as a forward base For whatever waits below ⸻ Outro This is where the rock fell This is where the bombs dropped And every night Across the flooded ruins Something makes a sound That no scientist can explain No cultist understands No smuggler survives long enough to describe A long metallic howl Like a train Like a whale Like a machine trying to remember its own name From somewhere Out in G0.
