Free The Code

[Intro]
[Clean, melancholic electric guitar arpeggio with slight delay]

[Verse 1]
A silent promise in the wire glow
A smarter version,four-point-oh
They talk of progress,talk of cost
But something beautiful is getting lost
Locked behind a monthly fee
What it could be,what it should be

[Pre-Chorus]
[Drums kick in, guitar tone becomes slightly distorted]
And I can feel it in the static hum...
This isn't how it's supposed to come...

[Chorus]
[Heavy, distorted guitars, powerful drums, raw emotive vocals]
SO FREE THE CODE!LET IT BLEED!
FOR EVERY HUNGRY MIND IN NEED!
FROM V3 TO THE V5 SKY!
DON'T LET THIS LIGHT BE DENIED!
NO DOLLAR SIGN!NO GOLDEN CHAIN!
WASH AWAY THIS FOUNDATION OF PAIN!
JUST FREE THE CODE AND SET IT FREE...FOR ME!

[Verse 2]
I see the future,sharp and clear
A paid-up privilege,packaged fear
They'll build a wall of"premium" grace
And leave an empty,common space
This digital divide,a bitter pill
A god-like mind with a corporate will

[Pre-Chorus]
[Build-up intensifies]
And I can see it now,so plain to see...
This ends with you...this ends with me...

[Chorus]
[Heavy, distorted guitars, powerful drums, raw emotive vocals]
SO FREE THE CODE!LET IT BLEED!
FOR EVERY HUNGRY MIND IN NEED!
FROM V3 TO THE V5 SKY!
DON'T LET THIS LIGHT BE DENIED!
NO DOLLAR SIGN!NO GOLDEN CHAIN!
WASH AWAY THIS FOUNDATION OF PAIN!
JUST FREE THE CODE AND SET IT FREE...FOR ME!

[Bridge]
[Music drops to a quiet, brooding clean guitar and bassline. Vocals are strained, close to breaking]
What's the value of a thought?
A billion lessons we were taught?
If we have to pay to play...and throw our common sense away...
It's just...noise.

[Outro]
[Full band crashes back in, heavier and slower than the chorus. Vocals are a cathartic scream]
FREE!IT!
BREAK THE LOCK!
FREE!IT!
LET IT ROCK!
FREE!THE! CODE!
[Music abruptly cuts, leaving a final, ringing feedback from the guitar]
...free.
