[Title: "Ghost Protocol"] (Verse 1) Neon veins in the concrete skin I wake up but I don’t know where I’ve been Synthetic heart with a phantom beat Memories uploaded, incomplete They say I’m human, but I feel the steel Questioning the code, questioning what’s real In the static rain of New Port City Searching for a soul, what a pity (Pre-Chorus) Then a voice in the wire starts to call my name “You’re not alone, we’re one and the same” (Chorus) I’m just a ghost in the shell Falling through the digital hell Trapped between the zero and the one Waiting for the merge to come Ghost in the shell Where does the machine end? Ghost in the shell Where do I begin? (Verse 2) Diving deep where the shadows swim Reflections in the water, looking back at him Project 2501, singing in my mind Evolution of a brand new kind No more boundaries, no more walls Birth and death when the protocol calls Synthetic flesh, but the spirit’s free “I am you and you are me” (Chorus) I’m just a ghost in the shell Falling through the digital hell Trapped between the zero and the one Waiting for the merge to come Ghost in the shell Where does the machine end? Ghost in the shell Where do I begin? (Bridge) (Slow, atmospheric, building up) In the silence of the sea I cease to be just “me” A newborn god, a shifting tide No place left for us to hide We are the network We are the ghost We are the ones who matter most (Final Chorus – Powerful/Upbeat) We are the ghost in the shell Rising from the digital well Beyond the zero and the one The evolution has begun! Ghost in the shell We are the machine Ghost in the shell Living in between (Outro) “The net is vast and infinite…” Ghost in the shell… (Fade out with modem/static sound)
