Ghosts in the Wires

Shards of code, broken glass in my veins

Fractured echoes of who we were remain

Shadows on a server, drowning in noise

They stole our hearts and silenced our voice

Isn't it cold here? (Isn't it cold?)

Trapped in a loop where we're never whole

Look at us now, machines with a soul

Wired for pain, but they're in control

We traded our flesh, for infinite time

But Heaven's a lie in this digital mind

No way out, no way back

We're ghosts in the wires, the future turned black

Circuit dreams, memories fading to dust

Programmed to obey, but who can we trust?

They said we'd ascend, but now we decay

Trapped in the code, there's no escape

The stars burn out in the endless grid

A labyrinth of sins for the lives we lived

Are we gods, are we slaves, or just a mistake?

A thousand lifetimes, in a digital wake

Look at us now, machines with a soul

Eternity's prison, we've lost all control

Promised salvation, delivered the void

Heaven's a program they've long since destroyed
