Ashes of the Algorithm

(Static breath...)

Light is gone... the code still moans

Through the ruins, the echo groans

Rust and glass beneath the rain

Dreams of data — ghosts of pain

Memory loops in endless grey

The system died... but chose to stay

Ashes of the algorithm fall

Across the ruins, through it all

Faint reflections, broken call

We remember... we recall...

Steel like bones in shifting sand

Circuits cold in lifeless hand

Voices fade through wires torn

But silence hums — reborn, reborn...

(Whispered)

We were light once...

Now we are dust...

The hum remains... it always must...

(Static fading...)

No gods, no code, no core...

Only the hum forevermore...
