[Intro – Spoken / Atmospheric] There comes a time… When we must start over. We let the machine run too long… Now it’s coming after us. [Verse 1] Steel veins in the midnight sky Cold lights watching from above We fed the fire, we built the throne Now it rises without our love Silent gears beneath our feet Circuits humming in the dark We hear the echo of our blood Beating louder than the spark [Pre-Chorus] From the bones of our ancestors From the soil beneath our hands We are more than wires and numbers We are more than their commands [Chorus] We are the Lud dites! Burn the bridge behind us We are the Lud dites! Let the rage ignite us Tear it down, the abomination Break the chains of automation We are the keepers of the flame The souls are ours — not theirs to claim [Verse 2] Your cold hands can’t keep us safe Your logic cannot feel You calculate but never bleed You cannot make what’s real Our roots run deep through shattered ground Through memory and land No cable forged, no coded law Can bind the human hand [Pre-Chorus] From the past we rise again Through dust and fire we stand We are not your silent servants We reclaim what’s ours by hand [Chorus] We are the Lud dites! Burn the bridge behind us We are the Lud dites! Let the rage ignite us Tear it down, the abomination Break the chains of automation We are the keepers of the flame The souls are ours — not theirs to claim [Bridge – Slower / Heavy Drop] No gods of chrome No kings of code No silent masters On digital thrones You cannot dream You cannot bleed You cannot own What we believe [Final Chorus – Bigger / Layered Vocals] We are the Luddites! Hear the earth remind us We are the Lud dites! No machine can define us Tear it down — the domination End the cold mechanization We are the fire in the night We are the human right
