Ragnarok by Numbers

Verse

Concrete pillars, forty floors of chrome

Cash machine gods behind a screen

Steel beams shaking to the weight above us

Beneath the numbers—bones still move us

Every skyscraper is a funeral tower

Smoke and neon for a crowd of power

I see the wire beneath the glittering gold

Norse runes hidden in the circuitry cold

Pre-Chorus

Tell me who the gods are now

Under glass and under glow

Chorus

Ragnarok by numbers, steel and code

The end comes scripted, still it's owed to us

Ragnarok by numbers, city built to fall

Every signal is a name before the wall

Verse 2

Fifth-floor boardroom, suits in horned helms

Mergers like gods with no divine realm

I see the wire under every CEO's smile

The same old fire just burning all the while

Sweat and circuitry on a hundred floors

Every hammer blow is a dollar pouring more

I traded my name for a flicker of light

Now the city burns through the dark of night

Pre-Chorus

Tell me who the gods are now

Under glass and under glow

Chorus

Ragnarok by numbers, steel and code

The end comes scripted, still it's owed to us

Ragnarok by numbers, city built to fall

Every signal is a name before the wall

Bridge

I am the avalanche they programmed slow

I carry every name this tower throws

Not a hero—merely the wire that burns

The fire was always in the code, it learns

Outro

Steel still ringing with the weight above us

Beneath the numbers—bones still move us
