Silent Protocol

(Heavy, rhythmic percussion kicks in immediately—like a heart racing at 140 BPM. A sharp, digital glitch sound slides into a low, distorted cello note.)

Static in the wire

Smoke in the hall

I learned to breathe

Behind your wall

You taught me the grip

You taught me the strike

The shadow I chase

The ghost that I like

(The beat drops out for a second, leaving only a haunting, high-pitched synth.)

Zero signal

Total blind

Your hands on my throat

Your ghost in my mind

One breath left

One code to break

I’ll give you everything

You want to take

(The bass explodes back in—a wall of dark techno sound.)

Silent Protocol

Break the seal

Show me the wound

That won’t ever heal

Master of the blade

Lover of the lie

I’m the weapon you built

Just to watch it die

Silent Protocol

Pull me in

My favorite teacher

My favorite sin

Neon on the rain

Steel on the bone

You’re the only home

That I’ve ever known

A disciple of the dark

A student of the pain

I’m the lightning you caught

Now I’m pulling the chain

(Half-time breakdown. The cello comes back, deep and mourning, over a slow, grinding industrial beat.)

You forged the steel

You sharpened the edge

Now you’re standing right there

On the side of the ledge

Say the word

And I’ll follow you down

In this digital hell

Where we both want to drown

Silent Protocol

Break the seal

Show me the wound

That won’t ever heal

Master of the blade

Lover of the lie

I’m the weapon you built

Just to watch it die

(The music speeds up, getting more and more chaotic until it abruptly cuts to a single, echoing digital heartbeat.)

Code red.

System failure.

I’m yours.
