[Intro] [Metronomic ticking sound] [Cold, sterile synth pad] [Verse 1] Friend, what do you seek, what do you ask of me? You hunger for the codes that virtue keeps unseen. You ask through what law, through what deliberate design, One is shaped, becomes, convinced that one is right, [Chorus] [Music: Sharp, robotic beat drops] From good into wrong, yes, fear the slightest misstep, From beauty to waste, ignore the gilded displays, From yes into no, universalize the act, From left into right, measure the rightful path [Verse 2] [Music: Add mechanical clinks and precise percussion] Extend and clasp the hand, respond to every plea, Yield up your place, contract your boundary, Sympathy, empathy, even telepathy, Flee from despair, yes, console all apathy, [Chorus] From good into wrong, yes, fear the slightest misstep, From beauty to waste, ignore the gilded displays, From yes into no, universalize the act, From left into right, measure the rightful path [Bridge] [Music: Tension rises, layers of synths stacking perfectly] Hey! Recognize the weight of the golden rule! Hey! Make the effort, shape what law makes true! Be never too cruel, nor blindly kind, Move through the strictest lines of mind, [Chorus] From good into wrong, yes, fear the slightest misstep, From beauty to waste, ignore the gilded displays, From yes into no, universalize the act, From left into right, measure the rightful path… [Outro] [Music: Beat stops, leaving only the metronome ticking] [Style: Spoken, very calm and clinical] Act so that your will’s own form May stand as law, forever universal. From good into wrong, from good into wrong, From good into wrong, yes, from good into wrong, [Fade out] [End]
