Harmonix Synthesis - Code of the Fallen Lyrics

Woke up this morning screen glaring bright
I'm chained to the digital but I crave the light
The devil's in the data whispering in my ear
But I hear the angels calling trying to steer clear

Oh oh where do I go?
Oh oh Lord where do I go?

The code pays the bills but it steals my soul
Lines of logic but my heart's got a hole
I type away the hours but I'm losing sight
Of the trees the breeze the stars at night

Oh the pixels shine but the spirit's dim
I'm caught between the screen and the seraphim

I'm at the crossroads with code at my feet
Heaven and hell in the rhythm of the beat
My mind's in the cloud but my heart's on the ground
Fighting for my soul in this binary bound

I dream of the forest where the wild things grow
But the algorithm's calling won't let me go
The devil says "Son you're making that green"
But the earth's crying out tearing at the seams

There's a part of me that longs to disconnect
To find peace in nature and the world to protect
But the screens pull me back with promises of gold
While the air outside grows heavy and cold

I see my reflection in the monitor's glow
A face once bright now weary and slow
The laughter of children the rustle of leaves
Are fading memories in the life I now weave

God's in the mountains in the rivers and the trees
But I'm stuck in this cubicle trapped on my knees
The angels say "Child come back to the land"
But the keyboard's got a grip that I don't understand

The money's good but the cost is high
I see the earth withering and I know why
We're lost in the numbers drowning in code
As the planet's warmth fades the future erodes

Oh oh where do I go?
Oh oh Lord where do I go?

In the hum of the servers and the click of the keys
I see the world burning brought to its knees
The devil's in the details but I hear God's voice
Telling me "Child you've got to make a choice"

A guardian angel hovers just out of sight
With a hand on my shoulder says "It'll be alright"
"Let go of the burden step into the rain
I'll help you find peace I'll ease the pain"

I'm at the crossroads with code at my feet
Heaven and hell in the rhythm of the beat
My mind's in the cloud but my heart's on the ground
Fighting for my soul in this binary bound

The code's complete but the world's on fire
Between the lines of script I feel the Lord's desire
I'm a software engineer in this digital maze
But I'll keep searching for the natural ways
