LYRICS

[Intro]
“System online... Feed the machine.”

[Verse 1]
The clock is ticking on a dead-end screen
Another ghost in the corporate machine
But the wires are humming ‘neath the concrete floor
Feeding the hunger for something more
I see the friction, I feel the heat
The sound of a heart that refuses to beat...
To the rhythm of the cattle in the neon rain
I’m tapping the vein, I’m tapping the vein!

[Verse 2]
Punch the clock till the knuckles bleed
Sowing the harvest for the masters’ greed
Five o’clock hits like a hammer blow
But I’ve got a fire they’ll never know
I’m building a circuit, I’m clearing the path
Through the static of their digital wrath
Not a girl in a cage, not a prize to be won
Just the voltage required to get the job done!

[Chorus]
It’s Blood and Voltage, it’s the spark in the dark
The DNA of a sovereign arc
We’re redlining the soul, we’re breaking the gate
Built on the friction and fueled by the hate
Of a world that’s stagnant, a world that’s cold
I’m burning the copper to find the gold!

[Verse 3]
The city is screaming, a neon display
A thousand voices with nothing to play
A cycle of fire at the end of the day
Still a slave to the rhythm, still a slave to the light
Trading my marrow for a piece of the night.

[Verse 4]
Chrome on the spirit, lead in the gut
The exit is open but the spirit is shut
I’m a high-voltage wire in a low-rent town
Built to lift up just to be beaten down
But in the redline, I find the truth
The system is hungry for the fire of youth
I’ll give ‘em the voltage, I’ll give ‘em the blast
Until the machines are all things of the past!

[Bridge]
Audit the signal.
Purge the noise.
The prize is the power.
The power is choice.
(Vocal builds into a distorted, piercing scream)
SURGE!

[Chorus]
It’s Blood and Voltage, it’s the spark in the dark
The DNA of a sovereign arc
We’re redlining the soul, we’re breaking the gate
Built on the friction and fueled by the hate
Of a world that’s stagnant, a world that’s cold
I’m burning the copper to find the gold!

[Outro]
Blood and Voltage.
Hard-coded in the wire.
Blood and Voltage.
