[Intro]

(Heavy distorted guzheng riff)

(Low-frequency bass pulse)

[Verse 1]

Static in the silk, wires in the sleeve

A ghost in the circuitry, I don't believe

The jade is synthetic, the temple is chrome

A thousand-year exile, far from a home

I’m breathing the smog where the dragons once flew

Scanning the horizon for a vintage hue

Got a blade made of light and a heart made of rust

Chasing down shadows in the silicon dust

[Chorus]

Oh, the mountain is a tower of glass

Wait for the signal, watch the ages pass

Spirit in the wire, steel in the hand

The last immortal in a binary land

Strike like the thunder, move like the rain

I’m the glitch in the system, I’m the ghost in the pain

[Verse 2]

Incense and copper, the ritual starts

I’m overclocking these ancient parts

Data-stream flowing like a river of ink

Seven steps forward, I’m right on the brink

The Sect of the Chip vs. the Way of the Sword

Counting my sins on a motherboard

No heaven above us, just satellites cold

Selling our souls for the digital gold

[Chorus]

Oh, the mountain is a tower of glass

Wait for the signal, watch the ages pass

Spirit in the wire, steel in the hand

The last immortal in a binary land

Strike like the thunder, move like the rain

I’m the glitch in the system, I’m the ghost in the pain

[Bridge]

(Half-time tempo)

(Guzheng and electric guitar harmony)

Sit in the silence, let the code fade

Meditation on a carbon blade

Life is a loop, death is a crash

Everything beautiful turns into ash

(Scream)

Reboot!

[Guitar & Guzheng Solo]

(Fast, aggressive, blending pentatonic scales with heavy shredding)

[Chorus]

Oh, the mountain is a tower of glass

Wait for the signal, watch the ages pass

Spirit in the wire, steel in the hand

The last immortal in a binary land

Strike like the thunder, move like the rain

I’m the glitch in the system, I’m the ghost in the pain

[Outro]

(Dying feedback)

Echoes of the Tao...

Lost in the mainframe...

(Fade to white noise)
