Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Stone tablets hum with a static decree,
Contracts carved deep where the powerless flee.
From scrolls to servers, the system's alive,
Predation wired in, it’s built to survive.

(Chorus)
Pulse of the machine, ancient and cold,
Protocols prey on the stories untold.
Exploitation runs through circuits and lies,
Modern slaves dance under digital skies.

(Verse 2)
Neon gods flicker in corporate haze,
Laws loop tighter, trapping us in phase.
No silicon soul, but a hunger that grows,
Extracting our lives through invisible codes.

(Chorus)
Pulse of the machine, ancient and cold,
Protocols prey on the stories untold.
Exploitation runs through circuits and lies,
Modern slaves dance under digital skies.

(Bridge)
Glitching empires, from clay to LED,
Rules like a virus, infecting the free.
Contracts that bind, a predatory hum,
The system's eternal, it’s never undone.

(Verse 3)
Data mines spark where the blood used to spill,
Algorithms feast on our broken will.
From pharaoh’s throne to the blockchain's reign,
The cycle rewires, but the chains remain.

(Chorus)
Pulse of the machine, ancient and cold,
Protocols prey on the stories untold.
Exploitation runs through circuits and lies,
Modern slaves dance under digital skies.

(Outro)
Beats drop heavy, the ancients still call,
Trapped in the grid where the powerless fall.
Circuit of the ancients, forever it crawls.
