Lyrics
[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
[Post-Chorus]
Renegade
Renegade
Renegade
Renegade
[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]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Renegade
Renegade
Renegade
Renegade
[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
