Lyrics SRT:

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
[Intro]
Perfect variable…
living minefield…

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000
[Verse 1]
The war machine grinds on, a tireless plea,

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:16,000
For solutions born of cold necessity.

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
No human touch can breach the living wall,

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,000
A pseudopodium answers to our call.

6
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:33,000
[Pre-Chorus]
A flicker in the dark, a signal faint and low,

7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
The cruiser’s course, a deviation we don't know.

8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,000
It trails behind, a shadow in the void,

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
A silent promise, tragically deployed.

10
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
[Chorus]
The living machine awakens slow,

11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
A human mind where circuits flow.

12
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,000
To breach the barrier, to break the chain,

13
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,000
A sacrifice of self, a cosmic gain.

14
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000
[Verse 2]
An old professor’s gaze, both wise and frail,

15
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:17,000
A memory resurfaced through the veil.

16
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,000
He speaks of freedom, a new design,

17
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,000
But shadows linger in his eyes so fine.

18
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:33,000
The wire in the dark, a signal faint and low,

19
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,000
The cruiser’s course, a deviation we don't know.

20
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,000
It trails behind, a shadow in the void,

21
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
A silent promise, tragically deployed.

22
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,000
The living machine awakens slow,

23
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,000
A human mind where circuits flow.

24
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,000
To breach the barrier, to break the chain,

25
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,000
A sacrifice of self, a cosmic gain.

26
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:17,000

27
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,000
An old professor’s gaze, both wise and frail,

28
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:28,000
A memory resurfaced through the veil.

29
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000
He speaks of freedom, a new design,

30
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,000
But shadows linger in his eyes so fine.

31
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
The living machine awakens slow,

32
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,000
A human mind where circuits flow.

33
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:56,000
To breach the barrier, to break the chain,

34
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:04,000
A sacrifice of self, a cosmic gain.

35
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:12,000
The wire in the dark, a subtle change within.

36
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Beyond the moon, a silent flight,

37
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Lost in darkness, swallowed by the night.

38
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,000
A new direction, far from all we knew,

39
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,000
A destiny unknown, forever true.

40
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
The watcher waits.

41
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000
The watcher waits.
