[Intro][Female Lead Spoken Vocal over three falling guitar notes, pipe strikes, and a low pulse]

Drop.
Wait.
Drop.
Water above the racks.

[Verse 1][Female Lead Vocal as MAH-ra]

MAH-ra hears a tick above the blower's steady strain,
Too sharp for a bearing, too steady for rain.
A dark seam crosses two ceiling squares,
One bead catches green light and shivers there.
She will not stand and watch the drop attack;
She calls before it hits the stack.

[Pre-Chorus][Female Lead Vocal]

Stop the tour. Call the floor.
Find the valve behind the door.
One drop falls. The seam gives way.
Kill the power. Clear the bay.

[Chorus][Female and Male Duet]

Water above the racks,
Silver line across the black.
One hard drop, no turning back:
Water above the racks.
Cut the main and clear the stack;
Water above the racks.

[Verse 2][Female Lead Vocal as GREH-ta]

GREH-ta runs with pipe maps folded tight,
But branch Bee-four on paper is not Bee-four in sight.
A remodel seven years ago rerouted half the floor,
No one changed the drawing in the cabinet by the door.
The first shutoff wheel is orange, seized, and bent;
She braces both her boots. The spindle will not relent.

[Pre-Chorus][Alternating Female and Male Vocals]

[Female Lead: MAH-ra]
"Clear the row. The ceiling bends."

[Male Lead: Ben]
"Breaker maps have crossed-out ends."

[Female Lead: GREH-ta]
"Bring the bar. Protect the row."

[Duet]
Something overhead lets go.

[Chorus][Female and Male Duet]

Water above the racks,
Silver line across the black.
One hard drop, no turning back:
Water above the racks.
Cut the main and clear the stack;
Water above the racks.

[Instrumental Break][Drums alternate five and four beats while guitars repeat the falling motif at rising volume]

[Verse 3][Female and Male Alternating Vocals]

[Female Lead]
The first tile splits and drops a dirty sheet.
MAH-ra pulls the cover down across the nearest heat.

[Male Lead]
Ben starts the shutdown list from smallest load to core.

[Female Lead]
GREH-ta drives a steel bar through the wheel beside the door.

[Duet]
Rust cracks loose. The flooding shrinks to rain.
Then another joint knocks hard inside the wall again.

[Bridge][Female Lead Vocal]

No app can turn this spindle.
No screen can catch this weight.
A pipe does not pick business hours;
A drop does not run late.

[Breakdown][Alternating Female and Male Vocals]

One row safe. One row powered.
Battery reserve: twenty-five.
One wrong breaker kills the cluster.
Keep the people out alive.

[Build-up][Female and Male Duet]

GREH-ta keys the radio:
"People first. No more."
Ben strikes the alarm control.
Red light floods the floor.

[Final Chorus][Female and Male Duet with Gang Vocals]

Water above the racks,
Dirty flood across the black.
Deferred repair comes roaring back:
Water above the racks.
Sound the alarm and clear the stack;
Water above the racks.

[Outro][Female Lead Vocal while the evacuation alarm carries the beat]

Ceiling panels split and pour.
GREH-ta turns toward every door:
"Leave your bags. Take the stairs.
Evacuate the innovation floor."
