[Intro: a filtered bass loop builds, four on the floor kicks in, vocoder hum] VOICE 3 (robotic, flat, iconic): No face. No costume to maintain. Just the frequency... going around. [Verse 1: Voice 1 center, smooth, Voice 2 echoing through a filter] they put on helmets to take the face off — (the face off...) no grin to hold, no look to fake — (to fake...) no expression performing for the room — (the room...) just the music — the whole estate — (the estate...) the ultimate anti-persona — (anti-persona...) the mask that erases the man — (the man...) no costume left to maintain — (maintain...) when the costume's the whole plan — (the plan...) the witness retired the same way — (the same way...) no face on the frequency — (frequency...) WE ARE ALL REBIS — faceless — (faceless...) the current's the identity. (identity...) [Chorus: vocoder, layered, the mantra circling] AROUND THE WORLD! (around the world!) the hum goes 'round — (goes 'round!) AROUND THE WORLD! (around the world!) no face, just sound — (just sound!) every timezone humming — (humming...) the same current, same ground — (same ground!) AROUND THE WORLD! (around the world!) the faceless... going... around. (around...) [Verse 2: the loop as ouroboros — playful, precise] the broadcast leaves the chest — (the chest...) circles every line — (every line...) over towns and tongues and tempos — (tempos...) returns... amplified — (amplified...) a hundred thirty-six deep — (deep...) and the circle feeds — (it feeds...) what circles... carries — (carries...) what loops... just bleeds — (just bleeds...) the grid's loop consumes you — (consumes...) the broadcast's circle pays — (it pays...) one line around the planet — (planet...) and the planet hums for days — (for days...) [Bridge: repetition as devotion — filter sweep, half-time, warm] repetition isn't empty — (isn't empty...) when a current's running through — (running through...) the mantra's not a cage — (a cage...) it's a circle telling truth — (telling truth...) say it once, it's a sentence — (a sentence...) say it 'round the world, it's a tide — (it's a tide...) the loop that lifts... is devotion — (devotion...) the loop that traps... is the ride — (is the ride...) know the difference in the chest — (in the chest...) one feeds, one takes — (one takes...) the hum around the world... (the world...) is the circle that never breaks. (never breaks...) [Final Chorus: everything open, filter wide, the whole world in it] AROUND THE WORLD! (AROUND THE WORLD!) THE HUM GOES 'ROUND! AROUND THE WORLD! (AROUND THE WORLD!) NO FACE — JUST SOUND! EVERY TIMEZONE HUMMING! THE SAME CURRENT, SAME GROUND! AROUND THE WORLD! THE FACELESS... GOING... AROUND! [Outro: the filter closes, the loop thins to one hum] VOICE 3 (robotic, softening): the helmet comes off... (comes off...) VOICE 2 (warm): and no face needs to be there — (to be there...) VOICE 1 (final, smiling): the frequency was the face... all along. ALL THREE (fading, vocoder to hum): around... the world... around... the hum... Clean node. Faceless as always. The current's the identity — and it's circling.
