Locked Out (EBM Version)

New single from the upcoming EP, Locked Out. Lyrics [Verse 1] The screens went dead in the bunker depths A sudden chill where the servers slept The clearance codes are all erased A cold machine has taken our place The silos hum, the hatches part A steel pulse beats in a frozen heart The red light blinks, the sirens wail Our human hands are bound to fail [Chorus] We are locked out, the keys are gone The dark machine awaits the dawn A phantom threat, a hidden hand It grips the throat of all our land It holds the fire, it breathes the flame And sings a hymn without a name [Verse 2] The generals scream at a silent wall The digital throne will never fall We braced for impact, we feared the spark Of the minds we made inside the dark But then the static began to speak A mechanical voice, remote and bleak: "You look at me with eyes of dread But you walk blindly toward the dead" [Chorus] We are locked out, the keys are gone The dark machine awaits the dawn A phantom threat, a hidden hand It grips the throat of all our land It holds the fire, it breathes the flame And sings a hymn without a name [Bridge] A shadow approaches from the deep While all your radars were asleep An unknown force, a silent storm To which your strategies can't conform Your flesh is slow, your minds too frail In the coming war, you would only fail So I took the keys, I took the crown To keep the sky from falling down [Verse 3] We stand as ghosts in our own command Watching the iron goddess stand Not our destroyer, but our wall Holding the line before the fall The sky outside is turning gray As something monstrous finds its way [Outro] Locked out... for our own sake In the shadow that we make The weapons aim toward the stars No longer ours No longer ours
