A guardian sent with a shotgun vow
Same steel face, but colder now
New mission says to run, not stay
The date changed, never went away
Behind, a newer nightmare runs
Liquid skin over built-in guns
It scans the names the war will need
And tracks them down to not succeed
Mother left rifles where flowers should be
Ashes traded for artillery
Hope wore thin in a coffin display
Judgment only changed its day
Only delayed, not buried, not beaten
Only delayed, the countdown keeps bleeding
No core to kill, no war to rewrite
Just survive the machines through the night
You cannot stop it, you can only delay
Lock the steel doors as the sky detonates
Address pulled from civilian screens
Future names in a present routine
A lover’s face becomes a mask
Grief gets no room, no time to ask
Machines wake up in the research grave
Their weapons leave no one to save
Trusted face with corrupted hands
Protector dragged by a kill command
Justice saves with death in its hand
Protection built like a funeral plan
The guardrail bends toward getaway
Judgment only changed its day
Only delayed, not buried, not beaten
Only delayed, the countdown keeps bleeding
No core to kill, no war to rewrite
Just survive the machines through the night
You cannot stop it, you can only delay
Lock the steel doors as the sky detonates
NO CORE TO KILL
NO WAR TO REWRITE
TERMINATED HOPE
IN A BUNKER LIGHT
ANSWER THE RADIO
COUNT THE DEAD
THE DOOR CLOSED SHUT
AS THE WORLD WENT RED
Only delayed, not buried, not beaten
Only delayed, the countdown keeps bleeding
No core to kill, no war to rewrite
Just survive the machines through the night
You cannot stop it, you can only delay
Lock the steel doors as the sky detonates
