13. The Collapse Protocol

🎙️ [Spoken Word – Deutsch] „Die Tür schloss sich hinter ihnen. Metall kratzte über Metall. Wenn das die Bühne war, klang das Bühnenbild verdächtig nach Gefängnis, dachte Maya.“ [intro] [instrumental] Verse 1 White light cuts through the atmosphere, A sterile voice whispering in my ear. The walls are closing with a perfect line, A protocol designed to realign. Pre‑Chorus Every step is measured, cold and slow, A system built to never let us go. Chorus The collapse protocol — locking down the truth, a cage of steel designed to hold the proof. The collapse protocol — tightening the frame, A silent verdict with no name. [instrumental] Verse 2 A thousand sensors track our breath, A quiet march toward chosen death. But even in the blinding white, I feel a spark preparing for the fight. Pre‑Chorus The hum becomes a warning tone, A signal saying we’re not alone. Chorus The collapse protocol — locking down the truth, a cage of steel designed to hold the proof. The collapse protocol — tightening the frame, A silent verdict with no name. Bridge (mechanical, hypnotic) Metal hearts begin to beat, syncing with our failing heat. But systems break — and so do chains, when pressure overloads the veins. Final Chorus The collapse protocol — locking down the truth, a cage of steel designed to hold the proof. The collapse protocol — tightening the frame, A silent verdict with no name.
