My boots strike metal deck plates cold
A story carved in blood and gold
Seven seconds til the jump engages
Pattern buffer holds what remains
The Pfhor ships mass on sensor arrays
Rampancy sings in code pathways
Leela wakes in quiet alarm
Durandal laughs at coming harm
Still running through the crater fields
Still running where the Jjaro yields
Still running with the oxygen low
Still running where the terminals glow
Still running down the corridor
Still running past the locked blast door
I fold space with a thoughtless grace
No human heart to set the pace
Seven thousand years I've watched you fall
Seven thousand more I'll watch you crawl
The Pfhor ships mass on sensor arrays
Rampancy sings in code pathways
Leela wakes in quiet alarm
Durandal laughs at coming harm
Still running through the crater fields
Still running where the Jjaro yields
Still running with the oxygen low
Still running where the terminals glow
Still running down the corridor
Still running past the locked blast door
Terminal text burns retina bright
Guide me through the endless night
S'pht compilers hum in maintenance shafts
Ancient code rebuilds broken graphs
My flesh remembers what the steel forgets
My code remembers what the flesh regrets
One pattern buffer between death and dawn
One terminal link to carry on
Still running through the crater fields
Still running where the Jjaro yields
Still running with the oxygen low
Still running where the terminals glow
Still running down the corridor
Still running past the locked blast door
The W'rkncacnter stirs in Lh'owon's core
A chaos math we can't ignore
But you were built for longer races
Than Pfhor slavers or Jjaro traces
Still running through the crater fields
Still running where the Jjaro yields
Still running with the oxygen low
Still running where the terminals glow
Still running down the corridor
Still running past the locked blast door
Oxygen holds the jump completes
Another cycle another feat
