Cybersecurity Decay

Lyrics

[Intro - corrupted modem static, sinister choir pads, distant industrial clanks, glitching synth pulses]

A black screen breathes in the dark
Cold code crawling through the spark
Static halos, fractured light
Something’s watching through the night

[Verse 1 - detuned guitars enter, mechanical kick, glitchy dark synths, low distorted vocals]

Firewall cracks like bone in rain
Encrypted prayers loop in vain
I taste the rust inside the wire
Ash and oil, a livewire fire
Packets bleed through broken gates
Ghosts in firmware seal our fates
Every signal starts to rot
In the machine we built, forgot

[Pre-Chorus - tension rising, layered choir, toms rolling, uneasy strings]

Hear the sirens in the stream
A dying dream inside the scheme
Every lock just learns to fall
Every tower answers the call

[Chorus - explosive nu metal impact, massive distorted guitars, pounding drums, sinister choir, shouted lead vocals]

Decay the system, tear the veil
Blackout kings and broken rails
We are the virus, we are the flame
Burning through the hollow name
When the networks start to scream
There’s no mercy in the machine
Decay the system, let it break
Nothing sacred left to save

[Verse 2 - half-time groove, syncopated guitars, glitch stutters, deeper, more aggressive vocal delivery]

Eyes in cameras, teeth in screens
Harvested in digital dreams
Usernames like tombstones glow
Beneath the ice where secrets go
Synthetic saints with severed tongues
Sing in faults where silence hung
Every password, every plea
Feeds the hunger underneath

[Pre-Chorus - more harmonic layers, rising synth sirens, drums tightening, menacing build]

Pulse by pulse, the empire slips
Corrupting at the fingertips
If the future’s made of steel
Why does every circuit kneel?

[Chorus - wider, heavier, choir doubled, extra screams and gang shouts]

Decay the system, tear the veil
Blackout kings and broken rails
We are the virus, we are the flame
Burning through the hollow name
When the networks start to scream
There’s no mercy in the machine
Decay the system, let it break
Nothing sacred left to save

[Bridge - stripped-down bass rumble, eerie choir, clean haunted vocal, glitch noise swells]

And in the silence after shock
We hear the gears begin to talk
Not a warning, not a cure
Just the truth we can’t endure
We fed the beast with every night
Then called the darkness artificial light
Now the void is logged in deep
And it never lets us sleep

[Breakdown - drop-tuned guitars, industrial percussion, shattered synth hits, gang shouts, screamed ad-libs]

Break!
Crash the code!
Split the core!
Lock no more!
Rot in the root, rot in the vein
Rot in the signal, rot in the chain
No more masks, no more lies
Watch the false machine die

[Final Chorus - maximum intensity, full band, choir obliterated by distortion, soaring screams]

Decay the system, tear the veil
Blackout kings and broken rails
We are the virus, we are the flame
Burning through the hollow name
When the networks start to scream
There’s no mercy in the machine
Decay the system, let it break
Nothing sacred left to save

[Outro - fading distortion, ghostly choir, glitching synth decay, whispered vocals]

In the dead code, we remain
Echoes in a rusted brain
Cybersecurity decay
Swallowing the light away
Cybersecurity Decay.....
