Lyrics
The warning flashes on the silent screen, a fault is hiding in
the vast machine,
no time to hesitate, the pressure grows
We track the signal where the current flows
The orders entered and the logs are read
We map the history of the lines ahead
The countdown starts, the tension starts to rise
We see the answer through the expert eyes
A steady hand to make the system whole
One mind, one team, we're taking back control
Against the clock, we never stop
Through the shadow and the flame
We bring the power to the top
And we write a stronger name
Yeah, we hold the line, we face the test
In the dark we find our best
Against the clock
We never stop
The safe component has been found in a line
A perfect swap, the old is left behind
We lock it down, the circuit starts to breathe
No room for error in the space beneath
The voltage stabilizes clear and bright
We bring the dark back into glowing light
The countdown starts, the tension starts to rise
We see the answer through the expert eyes
A steady hand to make the system all one mind
One team we're taking back control
Against the clock we never stop
Through the shadow and the flame
We bring the power to the top
And we write a stronger name
Yeah, we hold the line, we face the test
In the dark we find our best
Against the clock We never stop
All systems green, the final test is
clear
Perfect rhythm rises, from the
air
We stand together as the engines roar
We brought it back stronger than before
In the dark we find our best
Against the clock we never stop
All I'm complete All
I'm complete
All I'm complete
We never stop
