(Part I: The Enemy Unknown)

[Intro]
[The song begins with a clean, eerie, arpeggiated guitar riff playing a slow, haunting melody over atmospheric, futuristic synth pads. The sound is a direct metal homage to the "spinning globe" theme from the X-COM: UFO Defense intro. It's tense, mysterious, and full of dread.]

[Verse 1]
[The Chrome Hunter - his voice is a powerful, clean, and melodic metal tenor, starting with a sense of quiet paranoia]
There's a shadow creepin' on the edge of town
Another farmer's daughter never can be found
The government just tells you that you're sleepin' fine
But they're drawing up a new and terrifying battle line
It's a secret war fought in the pale moonlight
A silent promise that we just might... survive the night

[Verse 2]
[The music builds slightly with the entry of a slow, heavy drum beat.]
[The Chrome Hunter]
They took my body, broke the bone
For a sin I couldn't atone
They gave me armor, not of steel
But something that can bleed and feel
A living unit, cold and strange
A bio-weapon, rearranged
Am I a man or a machine?
A Ghost in the Shell of what I've been?

(Part II: Flight of the Dragon)

[Chorus]
[The song explodes from the tense intro into a massive, soaring, triumphant Power Metal anthem, a metal recreation of Jackie Chan's "High Upon High." The drums are fast and powerful, the guitars are harmonized, and the vocals are heroic.]
[The Chrome Hunter and a powerful Choir]
HIGH UPON HIGH, A DRAGON IN THE SKY!
A BIO-BOOSTED SOLDIER THAT WAS NEVER BORN TO DIE!
THE LAST SKYFIRE, BURNING THROUGH THE NIGHT!
TO DEFEND THE HUMAN SPIRIT WITH A FINAL, BLINDING LIGHT!
FOR EVERY SOUL THEY TAKE, FOR EVERY CITY THAT WILL BURN!
I AM THE POINT OF NO RETURN!

[Verse 3]
[The music is a driving, aggressive Power Metal rhythm.]
[The Chrome Hunter]
The alien Zoanoids, they twist and change
A corporate horror, rearranged
They fall like rain, a grotesque flood
And all they want is human blood
But in this armor, I'm the storm
A brand new, perfect, killing form
I am the weapon and the hand
The final hero in this broken land!

[Bridge]
[The music breaks down into a more dramatic, mid-tempo groove. The vocals become more intense and philosophical.]
[The Chrome Hunter]
I'm no hero from Evangelion, just a soldier on the run
I'm not a god from Akira, just a bullet in a gun
This ain't a game, it's not for sport, it's not some Gantz design
This is the only, lonely, bloody life that's mine!
So let them come!

[Guitar Solo]
[A virtuosic, highly melodic, and epic guitar solo erupts, full of soaring harmonies, fast neo-classical runs, and a powerful, heroic feel.]

[Final Chorus]
[The chorus returns with maximum power and a full orchestral choir.]
[The Chrome Hunter and a powerful Choir]
HIGH UPON HIGH, A DRAGON IN THE SKY!
A BIO-BOOSTED SOLDIER THAT WAS NEVER BORN TO DIE!
THE LAST SKYFIRE, BURNING THROUGH THE NIGHT!
TO DEFEND THE HUMAN SPIRIT WITH A FINAL, BLINDING LIGHT!
FOR EVERY SOUL THEY TAKE, FOR EVERY CITY THAT WILL BURN!
I AM THE POINT OF NO RETURN!

[Outro]
[The triumphant Power Metal fades out, returning to the eerie, clean, arpeggiated guitar theme from the X-COM intro. The feeling is that despite the heroic battle, the shadow war is eternal.]
[A final whisper over the fading guitar.]
(They are always watching...)
[End]
