lyrics

Wires connect the body
In series, in parallell
A machine of bone and tissue
With one function. To function

It’s a blood pact
Time-honored and true
An unspoken bond between brothers
A promise needs no proof

But there’s been a coup
Limbs all gone rogue
A subdermal civil war
A wire sabotage.

Written in the code
All the fingers are numb
Compiled firmware
Cells turn on the host

You’re the bone betrayer.
You betrayed the body
You’re the blood brutus
You betrayed our body

Wires all been frayed
with bare copper veins
Soldier joints creak and crack
never to be set right

Circuit boards will melt
Filling lungs with sludge
Oil, blood, rust and smoke
The invisible disease

Multiply multiply
Time is short for us
Multiply Multiply
Settle your affairs

Written in the code
All the fingers are numb
Compiled firmware
Cells turn on their host

You’re the bone betrayer.
You betrayed the body
You’re the blood brutus
You betrayed our body

You betrayed the mirror
Boiled and burnt
Charred
Blood
