Owls With Clearance

Start

Verse 1

Perched up high on towers of steel

Night vision capturing all we feel

Feathered icons of ancient lore

Now surveillance drones we can't ignore

They wear the crown of knowledge deep

While we surrender in our sleep

The sacred bird that hunters dread

Now hunts our data threads instead

Pre-Chorus

Spinning heads that never sleep

Collecting secrets they will keep

The night belongs to them now

We bow beneath their holy vow[Chorus]

Silent watchers in the trees

What do your round eyes really see?

Wisdom's mask or society's chains

Turning freedom into databased remains

Post-Chorus

Watching, watching (always watching)

Watching, watching (never stopping)

Verse 2

They sold us safety through a lens

Cameras blink where darkness ends

Algorithm talons grip our lives

As we willingly surrender to their lies

They call it progress, call it peace

While our private moments slowly cease

The owl's wisdom is just control

A predator dressed in a scholar's role

Pre-Chorus

Spinning heads that never sleep

Collecting secrets they will keep

The night belongs to them now

We bow beneath their holy vow

Chorus

Silent watchers in the trees

What do your round eyes really see?

Wisdom's mask or society's chains

Turning freedom into databased remains

Post-Chorus

Watching, watching (always watching)

Watching, watching (never stopping)

Bridge

SCREAMING THROUGH THE STATIC NOISE

TEARING DOWN THE FALSE PRETENSE

THE OWL'S EYES ARE BLINKING RED

RECORDING EVERYTHING YOU'VE SAID[Breakdown]

Feathered watchers with silicon hearts

Downloading souls and tearing minds apart

The hooting calls from digital trees

Are tracking signals on the midnight breeze

We praise their vision in the dark

While they're dissecting every thought and spark

Final Chorus

Silent watchers in the trees

What do your round eyes really see?

Wisdom's mask or society's chains

Turning freedom into databased remains

Outro

The owl swoops down on silent wings

Collecting every word that freedom sings

We built the cages for our minds

Now trapped in wisdom's hollow disguise

Watching, watching (always watching)

Watching, watching (we surrender)

Watching, watching (always watching)

Watching, watching (forever)

End
