[Verse 1]
The Federation’s burning red on my display
Emergency beacon screaming my name
They say the galaxy’s hanging by a thread
Yeah, yeah—cool—hold up a sec

Wrist lights up, visor starts to hum
Before I save anyone, there’s checks to be done
Ancient wall? Fallen pack? Unknown device?
Hang on, command, just a scan—maybe twice

[Pre-Chorus]
Every problem can wait its turn
If there’s one more thing I haven’t learned

[Chorus]
Scan it to the left, scan it to the right
Blue light dancing in the dead of night
Yeah, I’ll be right there, don’t lose hope
Just let me finish this last scan scope

Scan it all night
Scan it all night

[Verse 2]
Psychic pressure bending steel
Lift the room with sheer force of will
I’m the apex, final form
Chosen answer, perfectly born

But power means nothing if I miss a clue
What’s that glow behind the debris I moved?
Mind on fire, destiny set—
Wait—no—hang on—haven’t scanned that yet

[Pre-Chorus]
Every secret wants to hide
Till the scanner says “identified”

[Chorus]
Scan it to the left, scan it to the right
Cataloging doom till the sun comes up light
Yeah, I’ll be right there, swear it’s true
After this anomaly and maybe two

Scan it all night
Scan it all night

[Verse 3]
Got a brand-new bike, rides like a dream
Cuts through sand like a laser beam
You don’t even need to ask the deal
Built-in tech, yeah, you know it’s real

Boosting dunes at a reckless speed
Stopping dead ‘cause something’s beeping at me
Enemy base? Ancient door?
Doesn’t matter—scanner comes first, lore before war

[Chorus]
Scan it to the left, scan it to the right
If it exists, I’ll tag its life
Yeah, I’ll be right there, just don’t move
Unless the scan tells me to

Scan it all night
Scan it all night

[Bridge]
It’s the MacKenzie breakdown—drop it low
Crowd goes wild ‘cause they already know
Arguably the best in the game, no lie
You’re damn right—I scanned him
…Then I scanned him twice

Heart rate up, data flooding in
That’s not obsession, that’s how you win

[Verse 4]
Deep in the bowels of an icy tomb
Frozen echoes in a silent room
Ancient threats sealed under stone
Guess how long I’m standing here alone

Fifty straight minutes, visor glowing blue
Not fighting gods, just reading through
The end of time can wait its cue
There’s flavor text I haven’t viewed

[Chorus]
Scan it to the left, scan it to the right
Saving the universe one scan at a time
Yeah, I’ll be right there, almost done
Just found three more things I’ve never scanned once

Scan it all night
Scan it all night

[Outro]
We waited years just to touch this flame
Pixelated gods, a familiar game
Secrets buried deep in digital stone
Yeah, I’ll uncover them all—eventually known

The universe can scream, it’ll be alright
Just one more sweep in the pale blue light
Saving everything’s my alibi
I’d leave right now…
If I didn’t need to scan it one last time
