Dual Core - Another Chapter lyrics

I remember when it all started
Something from a dream
Addicted to the black and green
Letters on my screen quicker than my peers
So inherent what it means
A uni student, prudent
Coming out at seventeen
Watching code ascend 'til it
Towers like the Eiffel
Spend my time debugging and they're
Charging by the cycle
Studying the language so this guide
Is now my bible the beauty of the baud
Dedicated this disciple
The world of the electron
Wasn't to be stepped on
Hackers are the future
We're the ones for you to bet on
Fuel to the fire like
Computers were a chevron
But this is all decades way before I met John


So I let on, knowledge gives to wisdom
Got a job and it pays
And doesn't end in prison
Help secure computers by installing
Malware in 'em
Hoping they don't twist it turning
Me into the victim

One more story, one more hacker
Back to the past when the path got fractured
Sometimes calm, sometimes disaster
Turn the page and we start another chapter
Just another story, just another hacker
Just another past, up until it shattered
Sometimes calm, sometimes disaster
Turn the page and we start another chapter

This white hat collar job
Saving me my backbone
Just the grind on my mind
Seems like I'm half clone
Working for the money
You know how the math goes
Skills run of mill
Feeling like I've plateaued
Happy with my job though
Can't afford a chateau could be worse
Could've gotten stuck with Castro
Caught a pink slip, slip into the shadows
The fire that's been set inside
Lungs are like tobacco
Economic downturn the reason that I'm told
Appeal would a be waste there's
No chance that they'd uphold
There's no getting caught watch the
Scene as it unfolds
Worst case scenario I'm sure to get paroled
Abandoned so I fold, cancelling the show
Handed a la mode
Now commanded and controlled
Inject drop cats, cross-site all that
Felon catching shells every time
I hear a callback

One more story, one more hacker
Back to the past when the path got fractured
Sometimes calm, sometimes disaster
Turn the page and we start another chapter
Just another story, just another hacker
Just another past, up until it shattered
Sometimes calm, sometimes disaster
Turn the page and we start another chapter

Don't trust anyone turn the page
Don't trust anyone turn the page

Compilers and source always all
Up on my screen
Internal code, kernel mode, even in my dreams
Eat sleep breath speak writing all the time
Structs loops data types always on my mind
Then it's kicked to the curb
"you're not welcome here today"
But this is what they made
So I couldn't walk away
Looking down the road
Seeing exponential users
Figured I’d invest since computers
Are the future learn from the past so
I studied all manoeuvres
Tightened up the OPSEC
Patching like it's sutures
Feel I got the short end
Sharpened with the blade
Minimum in wage while the criminals get paid
Justified the raise compensating and betrayed
Cause fear is too expensive
The cost to be afraid
The dangers of incentive and a
Motive in the mixture
I'm hearing "farewell"
Well now there's just Viktor

One more story, one more hacker
Back to the past when the path got fractured
Sometimes calm, sometimes disaster
Turn the page and we start another chapter
Just another story, just another hacker
Just another past, up until it shattered
Sometimes calm, sometimes disaster
Turn the page and we start another chapter
