Shift One to Zero - Hiroyuki Sawano

(Mama told me this is the way we talk) (Mama told me this is the way we talk) (Don't get into trouble) Listen while I'm speaking Behind the amplifier peaking And when their sine waves start their linking Then you will know what I am thinking If you can learn to read the code All you'll find is software you can install But if you listen to the rhythm You can remake the mental system Why won't you learn? Lost the plot and, so, I'm playing again Needing a friend, needing an end, a creed to defend Proceed to another level to battle the devil Combating several enemies with the anatomy of a rebel A fundamental tryin' to survive and to rise up But an accidental crack is a slack off and dry up The purpose defines you, completes and designs you A lack of purpose starts to confine you, he'll find you Listen while I'm speaking Behind the amplifier peaking And when their sine waves start their linking Then you will know what I am thinking If you can learn to read the code All you'll find is software you can install But if you listen to the rhythm You can remake the mental system Why won't you learn? Stuck in a prison that exists in the mind, existed so fine By power to persist in the mind, resisting the grind I'm wide awake, fighting the days in 'Cause every tomorrow's more of the same as the days blend I find myself searching for something primeval, cerebral, upheaval It's time for the sequel now I don't know if I'm going out of my head But I feel something ahead, like a presence long dead Summoning something or someone come from another time Closer with every rhyme, could it be mine? A mask with a task to attach a match that's been calling out Evolving as I feel it installing now Rewriting my controls as I stare through the eye holes I put it on and take on a new role A code for another load, overloading from a node Augmented, my potential explodes! I'm lost in the empty space, I wanna wake up No sign in the darkness Asleep inside a dream, sounds like a scream, time flies I lived for a thousand lives I'm ready to wake up, ready to take a step New beginning! As the border is thinning Between the machine and man, it has begun And it starts with zero one! Deliver a sliver of what I thought I was! Is it true? Forever and ever are in my heart, my blood, coursing through! There's something inside me that reached the world above A higher view Assimilate into it and become something new I've lived for a thousand lives Ready to wake up No sign below the surface A brain set to remain in a binary code Refrain goes boom! With a flash in the night, I see a bright orange light I'm feeling ready to fight, I am prepared to ignite A master will overwrite my purpose, doom! For the place at the time in space, my memories have been replaced Every step forward is a step retraced No time to waste, gotta learn the race Increase the pace, like a chase got me workin' nonstop Now listen to the beat drop! (Let me out!) It has begun, zeroes and ones A code that shows the new way to run I start to glow, goodbye to the old The mask is me, as two become one (Let me out!) I'm ready to roll, I'm feeling the flow! Got a brand new band and I'm holdin the show Got one command in the voice in your head That tells you you're not good enough go! (Let me out!) You could be somebody new! (somebody new!) Call out to me! (Call out to me!) I wanna hear you say it! Let me out! Will you let me out?! Listen while I'm speaking Behind the amplifier peaking And when their sine waves start their linking Then you will know what I am thinking If you can learn to read the code All you'll find is software you can install But if you listen to the rhythm You can remake the mental system Why won't you learn?
