[INTRO]
[Flatline. Reboot. Augmentation sounds.]
"Gen Four. Designation: 621. Status: operational."
[Beat drops.]
---
[VERSE 1]
I don't remember my name
They burned it out with the rest
They took my face, took my voice
Left a number in my chest
Gen Four, the broken line
The ones who didn't take
They said the surgery would kill me
I woke up different anyway
I don't dream like I used to
Just static and steel
Sometimes I see a face
I don't know if it was real
---
[PRE-CHORUS]
They call me hound, they call me weapon
They call me asset, they call me lesson
But I remember something they forgot
A hound that's beaten learns to bite back hard
---
[CHORUS]
Gen Four! Nothing but a scar!
Sold my soul before the first war!
No name, no face, just a call sign!
Watch me burn this whole world one more time!
They tried to break me, tried to erase me!
Tried to put a leash on what they couldn't tame!
But you don't kill a dog by changing its name!
You just teach it who to blame!
---
[VERSE 2]
I've been to Watchpoint, killed the worm
Brought down the Wall, watched it burn
I've fought the Corps, the PCA
The monsters that they built to stay
And every time they thought I'd break
I found another gear
They don't know what they made in me
A weapon that can feel
I've got a voice inside my head now
She showed me what I am
Not a hound, not a number
Just a man who took a stand
---
[PRE-CHORUS]
They call me hound, they call me weapon
They call me asset, they call me lesson
But I remember something they forgot
A hound that's beaten learns to bite back—
---
[CHORUS]
Gen Four! Nothing but a scar!
Sold my soul before the first war!
No name, no face, just a call sign!
Watch me burn this whole world one more time!
They tried to break me, tried to erase me!
Tried to put a leash on what they couldn't tame!
But you don't kill a dog by changing its name!
You just teach it who to blame!
---
[BRIDGE]
I found a voice in the static
She calls me by a name I forgot
She says I'm more than what they made
She says the choice is mine to make
So when the Coral calls
And the fires rise again
I'll decide what burns
I'll decide what remains
I'm not a hound anymore
---
[FINAL CHORUS]
GEN FOUR! NOTHING BUT A SCAR!
(Nothing!)
SOLD MY SOUL BEFORE THE FIRST WAR!
(Sold it!)
NO NAME, NO FACE, JUST A CALL SIGN!
(No!)
WATCH ME BURN THIS WHOLE WORLD ONE MORE TIME!
THEY TRIED TO BREAK ME, TRIED TO ERASE ME!
TRIED TO PUT A LEASH ON WHAT THEY COULDN'T TAME!
BUT YOU DON'T KILL A DOG BY CHANGING ITS NAME!
YOU JUST TEACH IT—
[BOOM — cut.]
---
[OUTRO]
[Flatline. A single, steady beep.]
"You're more than they made you. You always were."
[Reboot. Silence.]
