Midnight Malfunction

Night falls, the system crashes again

Clock's ticking, never knowing when

Lights flicker, shadows creep

In this chaos, no sleep, no sleep

Working tirelessly, round the clock, no rest

Every day, every night, give it our best

Steel in my hand, a deadly dance in the dark

Blood and fear, leaving its mark

Caught in this cycle, caught in this fight

Fighting for dawn in the dead of night

Systems glitch, the chaos unfurled

Lost in the nightmare of the world

Error in the code, working till the end

Blood on my hands, no time to mend

Messer in the hand, a crimson fight

In this system's endless night

Cut and run, or stand and fight?

In the machine’s glare, I lose the sight

Silent screams, blood flows free

A shadowed fight, reality

Breaking free from this deadly tune

Waiting for the light of the moon

Until then, with blood and steel

This broken system I still feel
