(Verse 1)
We flew to find a ghost in the fracture of time,
But the sky only answered with fire and light.
A man became a moment, a loop without end,
Exploding forever where the past won’t unwind.
(Pre-Chorus 1)
Old Jack is a star now, burning in replay,
A funeral in orbit that never fades away.
And I can’t look away…
No, I can’t look away…
(Chorus)
It’s love, it’s hate, it’s war, it’s peace,
A heart in the void still begging release.
We’re running on ash and broken vows,
With a dead man’s light above us now.
Old Jack’s Star… won’t let us sleep.
(Verse 2)
Parley in the wasteland, teeth bared like a lie,
They want “The Weapon,” but we don’t know why.
Then my eye starts screaming in digital rage:
TARGET ACQUIRED — the end of the stage.
(Pre-Chorus 2)
A beam of judgment cuts steel like bone,
And suddenly I’m not just flesh alone.
I didn’t choose this,
But it chose me…
(Chorus)
It’s love, it’s hate, it’s war, it’s peace,
A soul in the machine that won’t decrease.
We’re branded as monsters, shadows on the run,
With a weapon in my skull like a second sun.
Old Jack’s Star… won’t let us sleep.
(Bridge)
Daddy… the nightmare never dies,
Lightning in my veins, plasma in my eye.
And my sister says she isn’t real,
But her arms still hold the way I feel.
If you’re just code… then why do you cry?
(Final Chorus)
It’s love, it’s hate, it’s war, it’s peace,
We’re stitched together where the truths won’t cease.
We’re fugitives under a crooked sky,
Trying to live while the universe rewrites.
Old Jack’s Star… will burn in me.
