Forward Position

Shake me if there's any movement

Warn me if you hear a sound

Coded, flickered, triggered

Signals buried underground

From my ruin, long forgotten

Dreams of hope arise in smoke

I am black box, I remember

Every promise that you broke

Knowing there's no point in running

At daybreak, we'll soon be found

Wake me when you see them coming

Hear their steel keels run aground

From my ruin, long forgotten

Dreams of hope arise in smoke

I am black box, I remember

Every promise that you broke

The canyon floor provides protection

The star-filled sky is dark remote

Satellite and drone detection

Seize the time and catch your throat

Buildings opened to the sky glow

Timbers tumble through the floor

Chopper downwash; overhead noose

Jet buzz lasso, stay indoors
