[Verse 1]
Zeta-9 in the blind zone
Black gloves on the glass
Slip past the prayer signs
Leave the shadows in a rash
No badge, no trace
Just a missing door
He moves through the bones of the block
Then the block is ash on the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
Count to one, then run
Count to one, then run
You never saw his face
You only saw the loss
[Chorus]
Zeta-9
Gone in the smoke
Zeta-9
Breaks what you know
Zeta-9
No one can say
How the whole damn grid
Went dead today
[Verse 2]
He cuts through the server room
Like a knife through skin
One red blink on a broken pane
Then the alarms give in
Footprints stop at the seam
No echo, no prayer
Whole floor shakes when the fuse line snaps
But the room is still not there
[Pre-Chorus]
Count to one, then run
Count to one, then run
You feel the ground go thin
Before the lights go low
[Chorus]
Zeta-9
Gone in the smoke
Zeta-9
Breaks what you know
Zeta-9
No one can say
How the whole damn grid
Went dead today
[Bridge]
[Half-Time Breakdown]
He walks through fire
And leaves no heat
He turns your fortress
Into scattered teeth
Say his name
Then choke on the sound
Zeta-9
Bury the ground
[Final Chorus]
Zeta-9
Gone in the smoke
Zeta-9
Breaks what you know
Zeta-9
No one can say
How the whole damn grid
Went dead today
Zeta-9
Gone in the smoke
Zeta-9
You should have prayed
Zeta-9
Now it’s too late
