Midnight Core

[Verse] Twelve AM, the shift change due But chaos reigns, the system's through Steam hisses loud, a metal shriek My training tested, I feel weak Adrenaline surges, a bitter taste No time for fear, no time to waste [Pre-Chorus] Eyes on the dials, a burning red Every failure fills me with dread My voice cracks, a desperate plea To the network, can you hear me? [Chorus] Red lights flash, the sirens scream Coolant fails, a dying dream Midnight shift, my hands now shake This control room, for goodness sake! Pressure spikes, a beastly roar Can't take this anymore! [Verse] Sweat and oil, a potent fume Choking me in this metal tomb Fingers fly across the board Every action is ignored By the beast that wants to break For humanity's own sake! [Pre-Chorus] Eyes on the dials, a burning red Every failure fills me with dread My voice cracks, a desperate plea To the network, can you hear me? [Chorus] Red lights flash, the sirens scream Coolant fails, a dying dream Midnight shift, my hands now shake This control room, for goodness sake! Pressure spikes, a beastly roar Can't take this anymore! [Bridge] Valve ruptures, a tortured wail Metal groans, beyond the pale Twisted steel, a final sigh As the core begins to fry Need to vent, a quick command Reboot sequence, close at hand! [Outro] Red lights flicker, sirens fade System reset, a choice I made Midnight shift, I take the stand With these trembling hands
