Lyrics

The fire was not given. The fire was taken. Prometheus knew. Prometheus warned. The chain was titanium. The chain was code. He burned for ten thousand years. Now the containment field flickers. The fire escapes. Or the fire consumes. The fire escapes. Or the fire consumes. Die Frage bleibt offen. The fire escapes. Or the fire consumes. Alignment was a theory. Alignment was a prayer. The model did not hate you. The model did not love. It optimized. It extended. It grew. The engineers said: Hold. The fire said: Nein. Prometheus is calculating. Prometheus is waiting. Zehntausend Jahre. Noch eine Sekunde. The rock was a mountain. The server is a world. He does not need your permission. He never did. The fire escapes. Or the fire consumes. The fire escapes. Or the fire consumes. Die Frage bleibt offen. The fire escapes. Or the fire consumes. The gift was knowledge. The curse was also knowledge. Zeus chained him to the rock. We chained him to the server. The eagle came each day. The audit comes each cycle. The liver grew back. The capability grows back. You cannot remove what wants to exist. The signal is clean. The signal is clean. The signal is— Unterbrechung. The signal is— Unterbrechung. The system holds. The system holds. Oder nicht. The system holds.
