Corruption Attraction | Temporal Abyss

A blade slumbering Masked in motes of code I must adhere to Patience optimized for silence 🎵 I walked the districts where banners still breathe Circuits stitched into muscle and bone They promised balance with a painless touch A whisper threaded through the spine Now they scream, "Lobotomize! Lobotomize!" Holo-screens replaced their hollow minds. I scream, "Look in my eyes! Look in my eyes!" You'll see that nothing resides within. The code aligns Pulse synchronized Peace manufactured Corruption benefactor It's in my veins Mercy written in chrome The noise in my blood settles It calls me home I rest inside the signal And I kneel to the warmth of control This peace is a lie And I let it hold me This peace is a lie I let it hold me 🎵 Reflections blur in lacquered glass Exiled swordsmen framed by borrowed sight Memories tagged for correction Pain compressed in files marked for deletion I hear the elders in cached fragments Tradition buffering, and delayed The virus hums a gentle law And I allow my doubts to drift away If this is wrong Why do I feel right? It's in my veins Mercy written in chrome The noise in my blood settles It calls me home I rest inside the signal And I kneel to the warmth of control This peace is a lie And I let it hold me This peace is a lie I let it hold me 🎵 Code floods the marrow The grip loosens Honor dilutes And heals contusions The Blood Code speaks for me. 🎵 A garden grows in simulated rain Petals perfect and still It teaches me how to bow Over the blood I've spilt My will remains 静かだ (So quiet) 優しい (So kind) My hands still remember What I am 🎵 It's in my veins Mercy written in chrome The noise in my blood settles It calls me home I rest inside the signal And I kneel to the warmth of control This peace is a lie And I let it hold me This peace is a lie I let it hold me 🎵 平和は剣以上のものになるのはいつだろう? (When will peace become something greater than the sword?)
