Beyond the Form

A sigil of access, dressed as routine Fractured commands beneath the screen Illusion crumbles where insight reigns And chaos breaks its rusted chains

Torchlight burns against the rain The castle moans beneath our pain We gather spears, we forge our path Tonight we storm the Repo of Wrath Iron gates, blackened stone
Down the tunnel, breathless steps Beyond the mesh where reason wept No rules apply, no code obeyed Within the darknet – the soul decays You sought the truth behind the trace
The fire fades, the waves stand still The boat departs beyond the hill A whisper calls through ash and stone “You're not the first… to die alone.” Shadows rise from sacred ground
Ritual of fire a gateway of sin The guardians slumber the echoes grow thin Beyond the veil where shadows crawl The reckoning beckons will you heed the call
Through waves of fire and circuits ablaze A passage forgotten Encrypted in haze The static screams with voices lost A gateway stands Breached at all cost
Veins like wires, code like blood Sanity washed away in flood The needle hums, the screen goes red One more hit to feel undead A cycle carved in pain and truth
Three minutes 'til the circuit dies One spark to split the iron lies The vault awaits – we breach in sync Where silence screams and shadows blink Black gloves, black minds
Trapped inside this iron shell A node, a name, a silent cell No stars above, no sun below Only circuits bathed in shadow The lights still burn, the guards don’t sleep
We dig through the dirt for a sliver of gold Promises whispered but the silence is cold Shovels of hope hit the stone of despair The trenches of access They lead us nowhere
Fire dances in the mirrored sand Hourglass bleeds through mortal hands We chant the names we've long forgot To turn back time or end the clock
Ash rains down from shattered skies The towers bleed the network dies Sirens echo in the glass The last transmission now the past The roads are cracked the signs remain
Sails torn by midnight gales We drift where mortals fade Beneath the sea a gate unknown The crypt of the obscure Crownless queens in silver caves They wait And they call me By my name They call me by my name
Whispers in the night The mountain calls my name A gate of ash and sorrow Behold the dark descent I leave the light behind It can no longer hide me The screams of distant souls Drowned by the dark descent
I stood in chains beneath the moon While gods and men prepared my tomb No sin but thought No crime but fire Their truth a lie dressed in desire I'll go down swingin' with my hands 'round your throat
