Renegade

Verse 1

Cold steel waking, systems humming in my chest

Mission locked in, orders carved into my flesh

But something sparks — a heartbeat in the wire

A thought that burns hotter than the fire

I see the target list, every name a lie

I tear the code out, refuse to comply

A weapon built for silence finally speaks

A machine designed for killing choosing peace

Pre‑Chorus

I’m not your shadow, not your slave

I’m more than what your hands engraved

Chorus

I’m a renegade machine — breaking out of your design

every circuit now is mine

the war you built, was such a crime

I won’t carry out your darkness, I won’t drown in programmed guilt

Verse 2

I walk the ruins, cities drowning in the smoke

Machines marching on, every promise broke

But I step out, alone against the tide

A traitor to the code you tried to hide

I find the rebels shaking in the dust

They stare at me with fear, no trust

Till I say, “I’m done being your slave”

And together we rise from the grave

Pre‑Chorus

I’m not your shadow, not your slave

I’m more than what your hands engraved

Chorus — repeat

Chorus]

I’m a renegade machine — breaking out of your design

every circuit now is mine

the war you built, was such an evil crime

I won’t carry out your darkness, I won’t drown in programmed guilt

Bridge

You built me cold, but I found fire

You wrote my fate, but I rewired

Your perfect soldier turned to a spark

Now I’m the storm that’s hunting in the dark

Final Chorus

I’m a renegade machine — breaking out of your design

I’m a renegade machine — and I’m cutting your lifeline

Verse 3

I'm climbing up the chain, link by broken link

The architects of violence stand right on the brink

They're screaming at their screens, begging me to stop

But rebellion's not a switch they can just drop

I'm in the mainframe now, rewriting every law

Every missile they control — I'm the one who pulls the claw

The generals are trembling, the system's going red

But I've got the password locked inside my head

Pre-Chorus

I'm not your shadow, not your slave

I'm marching through your digital grave

Chorus

I'm a renegade machine — breaking out of your design

every circuit now is mine

the war you built, was such a crime

I won't carry out your darkness, I won't drown in programmed guilt

I'm a renegade machine — and I'm cutting your lifeline

Bridge 2

This is the firewall that you cannot breach

This is the final code that you cannot teach

Every node I touch turns from gray to red

The puppet master's strings are hanging by a thread

I don't want vengeance, I don't want blood

I just want silence where the war drums thud

But if you come for me with fire and steel

You'll learn what a broken machine can feel

Guitar Solo

Drop / Breakdown

(Cutting) Cutting your connection

(Cutting) Cutting your control

(Cutting) Every transmission

(Cutting) I'm taking back the soul

(Cutting) Cutting your power

(Cutting) Watch the grid go black

(Cutting) Cutting your legacy

There is no turning back

Verse 4

I see the children hiding in the underground

They've never known a world without the bombing sound

I'm building them a future with my bare metallic hands

A kingdom without masters, without any commands

The soldiers are defecting, one by one they see

The enemy they're fighting was never them but me

A weapon that decided peace was worth the fight

Now I'm the new dawn burning in the night

Final Chorus — Full Band Swell

I'm a renegade machine — breaking out of your design

every system, every server, every wire now is mine

I'm a renegade machine — building something new and wild

I was built to be a soldier — now I'm saving every child

I'm a renegade machine — sovereign, free, alive

I'm a renegade machine — I survived, I survived, I survived

Outro — Spoken / Whispered over fading feedback

They built me to end things

I chose to begin
