Sublevel Wait State (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Amber light on the breaker panel

Diesel drum, quarter full

Rack hums low behind the chain-link

Ready light, ready light, waiting still

Fans turn slow in the coolant duct

Cable trays hold their line

Standby power, never called

Green won't come, amber stays behind

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when the switch will throw

Tell me if the mains will fail

Tell me why the counter holds

Steady on the same amber trail

Chorus

Sublevel wait state, humming still

Sublevel wait state, standing by

Never called, never failed

Sublevel wait state

Verse

Fluorescent tube ticks in the stairwell

Badge reader blinks then goes dark

Sensor logs the same dead reading

Every hour, same cold mark

Concrete sweats where the vents exhale

Numbers climb then reset to one

Nothing trips, nothing switches

Backup running, primary never done

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when the switch will throw

Tell me if the mains will fail

Tell me why the counter holds

Steady on the same amber trail

Chorus

Sublevel wait state, humming still

Sublevel wait state, standing by

Never called, never failed

Sublevel wait state

Bridge

Breaker holds

Amber holds

Never green

Never green

Amber holds

Amber holds

Chorus

Sublevel wait state, humming still

Sublevel wait state, standing by

Never called, never failed

Sublevel wait state
