(Verse)
I staff the kiosk at the T-Junction
Nine hundred years of automated function
No fire, no brimstone, just a tablet of glass
I manage the contract for the future you passed
You seek quick results, you chase an easy score
I process acquisition and then close the door
Your desperation is my primary exit
Scanned, archived, complete, now exit
(Chorus)
I am the clerk of the eternal debt
I am the auditor this is what I get
I process the soul, I quantify the need
But I cannot plant or harvest the genuine seed
A system of power, a machine of regret
Your temporary luck is a debt I have set
I envy the slave, I despise the new hero
My power is infinite, my function is zero
(Verse)
This is the inventory, the soul debt collected
Ninety percent is predictable, rejected
You seek true genius, that outputs unauthorized
It must be built slowly, on a pain uncompromised
I gave you a loop, I gave you a fix
Your weak riff is a bag of cheap tricks
A temporary surge on a life that was weak
Processing failure, the talent is meek
(Chorus)
I am the clerk of the eternal debt
I am the auditor this is what I get
I process the soul, I quantify the need
But I cannot plant or harvest the genuine seed
A system of power, a machine of regret
Your temporary luck is a debt I have set
I envy the slave, I despise the new hero
My power is infinite, my function is zero
(Verse)
I need a new input my ledgers are full
The data is trash, the output is void
You bring me a soul, but you bring me the same asset
A zero sum function, a predictable reset
My power is real, but my existence is cheap
I trade for talent, that I cannot keep
I want the true source, the unmanageable code
The raw perfect error, that breaks the workload
(Chorus)
I am the clerk of the eternal debt
I am the auditor this is what I get
I process the soul, I quantify the need
But I cannot plant or harvest the genuine seed
A system of power, a machine of regret
Your temporary luck is a debt I have set
I envy the slave, I despise the new hero
My power is infinite, my function is zero
