Feathered Firewall (remix)

Feathered Firewall
by
Tingster & The Coyotitos

[Verse 1]
I carved the law in breath and flame
Feathers forged from sacred name
Built a wall of sky and light
To hold the dark — to guard the right

But scrolls turned script, and script turned dust
The code decayed beneath your trust
What once was voice became a feed
And fire sold to fuel your greed

[Pre-Chorus]
“The firewall was never stone—
It lived in choice… and choice alone.”

[Chorus]
Feathered Firewall — I held the gate
But innocence came far too late
I watched your virtue drain through screens
Encoded lies behind your dreams

I was the serpent, sky and spark—
Now grounded in your algorithm’s dark

[Verse 2]
You built your youth from filters, fame
Fed their hearts synthetic shame
They worshipped mirrors, not the wind
And loved the shell, not what’s within

The children called for something real
But screens don’t teach the soul to feel
And every whisper I once gave
Was drowned beneath the dopamine wave

[Bridge]
“Access Denied…
Purity not found…
Firewall compromised…”

Layered samples of children laughing, reversed and warped. Tribal drum rises beneath.

[Final Chorus]
Feathered Firewall — I burned for you
To cleanse the code and guard what’s true
But now my wings are torn by pride
You let the virus rule inside

I was the god you used to sing—
But silence broke my offering

[Outro]
“The feathers turned to flame…
And the firewall wept in vain.”
