[Intro]
Ranks in a row
Helmets in chrome
Screens all aglow
(Citizens, come home)
[Verse 1]
Wake to the anthem on your wall
Perfectly timed with the morning call
Smile for the scan
Raise your hand on cue
History updated
Now it starts with you
Posters in platinum
Oceans of flags
Heroes in armor on limited tags
March in alignment
Every step the same
Heartbeats syncing to the Motherframe
[Chorus]
Glory Protocol
Download the pride
Stand straight
Stand tall
Fall in
Worldwide
Hail to the vision we’re ordered to see
(Three cheers!) for the grand efficiency
Glory Protocol
Chant and comply
We rise
We shine
We qualify
Raise your voice
Let the servers decide
Who lives forever in the Archive
[Verse 2]
Golden announcements in the sky
Promising upgrades if you qualify
Statues that swivel just to watch you pass
Rate your devotion on a five-star glass
Parades on a loop every single day
Same brave victory
Different date overlay
Kids learn the slogan with their A-B-C
“Freedom is formatted for your security”
[Chorus]

Choir: “Pre-approved for fear!”
Leader: “Who do we follow?”
Choir: “Whichever way you turn!”
Leader: “What do we question?”
Choir: “Nothing we can learn!”

Last marching line
One more salute to the grand design
Flags in the firelight
Eyes to the throne
(So proud!) to be perfectly known
Glory Protocol
Loud as a war
Sing till you can’t even feel what for
If faith is a file and we’ve all been signed
We live forever in the Archive
