[Verse 1] The screen is flickering in the dark Searching for a digital spark I left the ghost of who I was Behind a wall of static buzz The air is heavy, the sky is low With nowhere left for the heart to go I’m cutting through the plastic lace To find a mirror with a face [Chorus] Choir: Sola gratia sola lux I am the glitch inside the frame Choir: Vita simplex vita pax I’m stepping out of the burning game Choir: Corde puro sursum The city screams but I am still Bound to the strength of a lonely will [Verse 2] They sell the soul in a binary code A heavy salt upon the road I’ve seen the wires beneath the skin Where the fake and the real begin I’ll burn the map and break the lens To see where the hollow empire ends I am the silence in the scream The only waking part of the dream [Bridge] Choir: Redemptio est finis Let the towers turn to rust Choir: Dolor abit in spem Let the silicon turn to dust I’d rather break in the open light Than live forever in a neon night [Chorus] Choir: Sola gratia sola lux I am the glitch inside the frame Choir: Vita simplex vita pax I’m stepping out of the burning game Choir: Corde puro sursum The city screams but I am still Bound to the strength of a lonely will [Outro] Choir: Nunc dimittis The grid is gone. The dark is won. Choir: In pace
