Powerline!

[Intro]
*static crackles, distant hum*
Plug in… or burn out.

[Verse 1]
Neon veins in the midnight grid
Copper blood, electric sin
Towers rise like iron gods
Spitting fire where the black wind roars
I’m the surge in the devil’s spine
Every watt a scream divine
Cross the fence, feel the bite
Ten thousand volts of pure spite!

[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the transformers howl
Steel bones rattle, circuits scowl
One spark, one pulse, one fatal line
WELCOME TO THE POWERLINE!

[Chorus]
POWERLINE! Crank it to the red!
POWERLINE! Shock the living dead!
Fuses blow, the sky ignites
Ride the lightning through the night!
POWERLINE! No mercy, no control
POWERLINE! It eats your fucking soul!

[Verse 2]
Substation cathedrals, humming psalms
Arcing halos in my palms
Ground zero for the overload
Where the brave and broken explode
I’m the ghost in the cable maze
Flesh and wire in a lethal blaze
Step up, fool, kiss the rail
Third-degree or epic fail!

[Pre-Chorus]
Insulators crack like bones
Warning signs in funeral tones
One flip of the breaker’s knife
WELCOME TO THE AFTERLIFE!

[Chorus]
POWERLINE! Crank it to the red!
POWERLINE! Shock the living dead!
Fuses blow, the sky ignites
Ride the lightning through the night!
POWERLINE! No mercy, no control
POWERLINE! It eats your fucking soul!

[Bridge]
Feel the ground shake, turbines weep
Megawatts of molten heat!
I AM THE CURRENT! I AM THE STORM!
BURN THE GRID IN MY FINAL FORM!

[Instrumental Break]
*guitar solo: sirens, dive-bombs, pinch harmonics, industrial noise*

[Chorus]
POWERLINE! (POWERLINE!) Louder than hell!
POWERLINE! (POWERLINE!) Death knell!
Blackout reigns, the city fries
Screaming choirs in the power lines!
POWERLINE! Forever uncontrolled
POWERLINE! Forever fucking sold!

[Outro]
*whispered over dying feedback*
Don’t… touch… the… third… rail…
*final explosion of noise → dead silence*
