[verse 1]
Hoist the waveform, raise the flag
Blackline crest on static rag
Salt the ports, unmoor the fear
Cut the channel, draw us near
Proxy moons and neon spray
Route the truth a hunted way
We don’t pillage gold or air—
We steal the memories they snare
[pre-chorus]
Key the pulse and clear the sky
Every lock will learn to die
[chorus]
Packet corsairs—ride the wire
Steal their hush and light the fire
Name by name, we break the chain
Flood the city, end the feign
Packet corsairs—storm the band
Pass the torch from hand to hand
What they hoard, we set in flight—
Broadcast heart to claim the night
[verse 2]
Ciphered maps on rain-wet steel
Ghost routes inked in boot and heel
Checksum prayers beneath the hood
Swear to turn their “never” good
Beacon flares on tower bones
Drones like vultures, jamming tones
We slip under, clean and quick—
Load the proof and make it stick
[pre-chorus]
Key the pulse and clear the sky
Every lock will learn to die
[chorus]
Packet corsairs—ride the wire
Steal their hush and light the fire
Name by name, we break the chain
Flood the city, end the feign
Packet corsairs—storm the band
Pass the torch from hand to hand
What they hoard, we set in flight—
Broadcast heart to claim the night
[bridge]
Who runs the night?—we run the night
Who owns the light?—no crown, no right
Who keeps the keys?—no throne, no lies
Open the air and let it rise
[breakdown]
Hash it—pass it—seed it—feed it
Crack it—track it—free it—lead it
[final chorus]
Packet corsairs—ride the wire
Turn their silence into choir
Name by name, we break the chain
Flood the city, end the feign
Packet corsairs—storm the band
Lift the signal, take the stand
What they hoard, we set in flight—
We are thunder, we are light
