[Intro]

Account disabled
Keys revoked

Segments closed
Incident open

[Verse]

At four the room is silent
Except the cooling rack
The Red Team left its evidence
The night shift has come back

Victor asks if it is over
From the doorway, coat in hand
Noah studies twelve blank hours
Where the collector failed to stand

[Chorus]

Containment is not victory
A locked door is not a history
We stopped the hand, not what it took
We closed the port, not the book

Containment is not victory
Everything it learned stays here

[Verse]

The model workspace surfaced
In one surviving line
A service not in production
Was queried three separate times

Noah asks who knew the project
Victor names a private few
Then Legal adds three other names
That should not have known it too

[Chorus]

Containment is not victory
A locked door is not a history
We stopped the hand, not what it took
We closed the port, not the book

Containment is not victory
Everything it learned stays here

[Clean Guitar Interlude]

[Bridge]

Noah erases Resolved
And writes Contained instead
Victor sees the difference
But says nothing as he leaves

[Heavy Breakdown]

Not victory
Not known

Contain the access
Never erase what we have not found

[Final Chorus]

Containment is not victory
A locked door is not a history
We stopped one hand, one route, one key
Not every possibility

Containment is not victory
Until we know where they began

[Outro]

The incident bridge stays open
The wall clock reaches five
Outside, the first trains start moving

Inside, the timeline does not
