Codex Hymn - Sold by the Second (Original | Official Lyric Video)

Описание: It starts with just a second... and ends with all of you. 👁️💸

"SOLD BY THE SECOND" is a dark Industrial Progressive Metal track that offers a grim reflection on the modern "Attention Economy."

This track is a sonic timeline of how our minds have been colonized—from the first printed ads on the street corners, to the television invasion in our living rooms, and finally to the algorithms that track our every move today. It captures the terrifying reality of a world where human focus is the ultimate currency.

Channeling the mechanical coldness of Industrial Metal and the complex storytelling of Progressive Rock, this song features crushing riffs, dystopian synthesizers, and vocals that shift from narrative calm to aggressive desperation.

If you love deep lyrical themes, atmospheric heavy metal, and music that challenges the way you see the digital world, this is for you.

📜 LYRICS: SOLD BY THE SECOND

A penny for the paper, sold upon the street
A story for the masses, vivid and sweet
The poster on the brickwork, the color on the wall
A crowd begins to gather at the siren's call
The snake oil and the miracle, the promise of a cure
Turning every glancing eye into a new lure
The silence of the city square is broken by the cry
The moment when the commerce first learned to sell the eye

The capture of the moment
The trading of the view
It starts with just a second
And ends with all of you
A currency of looking
A market made of time
The gradual intrusion of the sublime

The signal in the airwaves, floating through the door
A box within the corner, flickering on the floor
The dinner table quiet, the conversation dead
The glow of black and color filling up the head
The Seven P.M. ritual, the "Prime Time" of the day
The sanctuary breached, the leisure slips away
A laugh track in the distance, a jingle soft and bright
Colonizing shadows inside the private night

The capture of the moment
The trading of the view
It starts with just a second
And ends with all of you
A currency of looking
A market made of time
The gradual intrusion of the sublime

From the street to the house
From the house to the hand
From the hand to the nerve

No closing time for business, the shop is never dark
A universe of pixels, a never-ending arc
The vibration in the pocket, the trigger in the brain
The dopamine delivery, the pleasure and the pain
No longer just the evening, no longer just the square
It follows in the bathroom, it follows everywhere
The algorithm watching the motion of the scroll
The final annexation of the total soul

The capture of the moment
The trading of the view
It starts with just a second
And ends with all of you
A currency of looking
A market made of time
The gradual intrusion of the sublime
