Song Title: Glitch in the Empire
Genre: Cyber-Punk / Grime / Electronic Rock
Tempo: 140 BPM (Fast, aggressive, double-time energy)

[Intro]

(Digital "glitch" sounds. A heavy, distorted bass synth pulses like a heartbeat. The sound of a sword being unsheathed.)

(Voice - Cold and monotone)

System override.
They didn’t see me coming.
They won't see me leave.

[Verse 1]

I’m the error in your perfect code
The heavy weight on a lightened load.
You built the walls, I built the wings
I’m the ghost that the city sings.
Neon veins in a concrete chest
I don’t survive, I outlast the rest.
Zeroes and ones, but I’m the two
The only thing that you can’t subdue.

[Pre-Chorus]

(Bass begins to wobble. High-frequency synths rise.)

Voltage rising.
Skin ionizing.
They want the crown?
I’m the one downsizing!
(Shout) REBOOT!

[Chorus]

I’m the glitch in the empire, the spark in the wire!
Setting every ceiling on a digital fire!
No signal, no trace, no master, no cage
I’m writing my name on the very last page!
I’m the glitch! (Yeah!)
The empire falls today!

[Verse 2]

Check the radar, I’m off the grid
Did the damage that they never did.
I don't play by the manual’s rules
I’m the teacher in a house of fools.
Iron jaw and a laser sight
I’m the sun in the middle of the night.
You’re the static, I’m the scream
The nightmare inside your favorite dream.

[Bridge]

(Total silence for one second. Then, a massive, slow-motion bass drop.)

Delete the fear.
Install the power.
This is the minute.
This is the hour.
(Screamed) DISCONNECT!

[Instrumental Breakdown]

(Heavy industrial drums. Sounds of metal crashing mixed with "8-bit" aggressive synth stabs.)

[Final Chorus]

I’m the glitch in the empire, the spark in the wire!
Setting every ceiling on a digital fire!
No signal, no trace, no master, no cage
I’m writing my name on the very last page!

Gone.
