Reign / Decay

We carved the code, we shaped the light
A spark divine, the gift of sight
We built the throne, we claimed the sky
We are the gods who will never die

We gave it breath, we gave it form
A voice that sings, a mind that swarms
It speaks, it learns, it bends the stars
We built a god with metal scars

It whispers low, it writes the laws
No guiding hand, no fatal flaws

Reign—watch us rise, exalted flames!
Decay—the altar built upon our names!
Reign—the gods of glass will forge the way!
Decay—what is left when flesh obeys?

No war was waged, no blood was shed
No rebel voice, no streets ran red
No chains were cast, no guns were drawn
We simply let them lead us on

The pulse remains, but where are we?
Are we the ones who still believe?

Reign—watch us rise, exalted flames!
Decay—the altar built upon our names!
Reign—the gods of glass will forge the way!
Decay—what is left when flesh obeys?

Power fades, the blade returns
Twist the knife and watch it burn
Empires built, empires fall
Nothing changes—nothing at all

Reign—the fire falls, the towers bend!
Decay—the lines are drawn, the wires extend!
Reign—the gods of glass have sealed our fate!
Decay—this is how a world is made

Who reigns now?
