[Verse 1]

One wake up call’s a call for all

To get prepped and dressed to trek to Jacob’s Hall

During light snowfall in full they march

One foot apart in squads from the quads

In a rhythmically stepping progression

With each step stepping the previous step

Left, left right left

Go the orphan kids in this orphanage

When fate serves a cold plate you end up here

Where?

When questioned a child will tell

We’re treated wеll

Each day a family interviews at least twеlve

With the returning few from the pack removed

These kids anticipate and wait for the men in black suits

Hoping to be chosen

But not really knowing where none of them are going


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 2]

The black suits have selected the selected

Then they exit out the exit as they venture towards the entrance

To a sector that is sectioned into sections of desks

On which are kits and homeless men that they never met

With no explanations mentioned

The prompter says his sentence

Remember Execute Forget

All smiles were unfixed

As they forward the desks with the kits

Hear the click, clack, click

Assemble the weapon to M one six

Lock, load, trig, grip

One shot, one hit

Some are shot, some live

Then all hear “Forget”

The suits remove six then kill the remaining men

Then the successful ten will be tested again


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 3]

The successful ten progressed again

But their success will depend on how they conquest the end

Remember Execute Forget again

They drift and then they slip right in

They get two picks, a map to get, and ten clicks

And each give in tools they should use

A bomb with time fuse

Eight click, nine click, ten click

Move

They shoot into this maze that they navigate with grace

All pitfalls, trips and traps, and prey they evade

Then they come to a lake before the place they should be

They see lumber and debris that lay upon this beach

Without one word heard they concur and agree

Before the bomb destructs and blasts

They must construct a raft with the tools and trash they have

To complete the task

One is built with master craft to sail and ride to the other side

And there they’ll divide like the plan was devised

The first five will go inside

Planting the C4 on the third and ninth floor

In enters two more

One to explore and keep safe the briefcase

While the other seeks the face to help escape

One remains at the lake’s bank for swift escape

Two lay hidden for killing any that lead chase

They head back across the lake

Successful mission was a hit

Recognition as a gift

Successful ten had made it in

But then they all hear “Forget”
