(Verse 1) In Site-19, the alarms all shriek A Keter-class, out on the street Scholz at the console, face pale white Another anomaly loose in the night He types in codes, a frantic plea "Procedure BABALON, set them free" But the screen just flashes, a crimson red "Containment failed," is all it said
(Chorus) It's a containment breach, a system crash A digital ghost in a data flash Engineer Scholz, with his coffee cold A story in the archives, to be told He built the cage, he held the key But SCP-V01D was always free
(Verse 2) The O5 Council, in a secret room Debating protocols, sealing the tomb They talk of amnestics, of memetic kill Of a rogue engineer, who broke their will Was he a traitor, a double agent's play? Or just a scientist, who lost his way? The logs are corrupted, the tapes are all blank Just a whisper of V01D, and a silent, cold tank
(Chorus) It's a containment breach, a system crash A digital ghost in a data flash Engineer Scholz, with his coffee cold A story in the archives, to be told He built the cage, he held the key But SCP-V01D was always free
(Bridge) They say he's still out there, a ghost in the shell Wandering the network, ringing the bell A warning to others, a tale to impart You can't contain a mind, you can't cage a heart
(Outro) Secure. Contain. Protect. The motto they preach. But some things are always, just out of reach. Just out of reach. ...end transmission.
