[Intro] Bones in the dust… lantern burnin’ low… Skelly sits quiet where the cold winds blow… Captain’s gone fightin’ in the topside glow… But Skelly don’t sleep — no, he never lets go… [Verse 1] He was found in the tunnels 'neath Speranza’s floor, A forgotten frame slumped against a gear-marked door. No one knows who he was before the Fall, But when the Captain called, he answered it all. Now he watches the stream with an empty grin, Hollow eyes flickerin’ with static within. Ticks skitter outside, Snitches cry in the dark, But Skelly stays steady — a sentinel’s spark. [Chorus] ’Cause Skelly don’t sleep, He keeps the watch deep, Where the Ark winds howl and the Rust-Belt weeps. He don’t breathe, he don’t break, but he’s loyal and true, Guardin’ the Captain’s place like only he’d do. Yeah, Skelly stands tall when the shadows creep — No flesh, no fear… Skelly don’t sleep. [Verse 2] He taps bony fingers on a cracked old screen, Glowin’ ghost-blue in the wasteland sheen. Sometimes he hums like he remembers a song, Somethin’ sorrowful and old as the war’s been long. When Leapers roar in the midnight grime, Skelly turns his head — checks the door every time. And though he’s just bone, he’s got purpose still: Keep this place safe ‘til the Captain’s will. [Chorus] ’Cause Skelly don’t sleep, He keeps the watch deep, Where the Ark winds howl and the Rust-Belt weeps. He don’t breathe, he don’t break, but he’s loyal and true, Guardin’ the Captain’s place like only he’d do. Yeah, Skelly stands tall when the shadows creep — No flesh, no fear… Skelly don’t sleep. [Final Chorus] Skelly don’t sleep, He keeps the watch deep, Through storms, through fear, through secrets he keeps. While the Captain’s gone wandering the wild-top sweep, Skelly guards the stream, in the dark knee-deep. He’s a bone-bound oath no machine can reap— No flesh, no fear… Skelly don’t sleep. [Outro] Cold wind sighs… wires hum low… Skelly sits waiting in the afterglow… ’Til the Captain’s voice returns to the show… He’ll keep the watch — that’s all he knows.
