Net run

# NET RUN

**[Intro - Glitchy, robotic whisper]**
*Booting... synaptic... overload...*

**[Verse 1 - Fast, rhythmic, street-kid flow]**
Streets are chrome and neon bleeding
Data streams, my heart is feeding
Street rat queen with cyber eyes
Seen the truth behind the lies
Corpo rats in tower high
Never see the blood they buy
Got my iron, got my chrome
Running hard, I'm never home
Night City's pulse is in my veins
Digital pleasure, digital pains

**[Pre-Chorus - Building, synthwave pulse]**
(clock ticks, clock ticks, clock ticks...)
One more job, one more run
Dancing with the smoking gun
One more hack, one more kill
Living for the digital thrill!

**[Chorus - BRUTAL, bloodthirsty, direct address to listener]**
YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE GAME I PLAY?!
YOU WANT TO RUN WITH ME TODAY?!
I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT THE FLESH COSTS
WHEN THE SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN AND YOUR SOUL IS LOST!
BURN! BURN! IN THE DATAFIRE!
SCREAM! SCREAM! YOUR LAST DESIRE!
I'M THE GHOST IN YOUR MACHINE
I'M YOUR DEATH ON THE SCREEN!
(RUN! RUN! NET RUN! RUN! RUN! NET RUN!)

**[Verse 2 - Corporate persona, colder, more controlled]**
Suit and tie, the boardroom lie
Silver tongue, the deal is dry
Arasaka money in my palm
Saburo's anthem, cold and calm
But the streets still call my name
Two-faced queen in a deadly game
Maelstrom chrome and corporate steel
Tell me, how does betrayal feel?
Every cred I earn is blood
Every deal is in the mud
Dual nature, double life
Corporate mistress, street-knife wife

**[Pre-Chorus - Faster, more frantic]**
(system crash, system crash, system crash...)
Another breach, another score
Knocking on the devil's door
Another ghost, another trace
Wipe the smile off your face!

**[Chorus - BRUTAL, layered voices overlapping]**
YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE GAME I PLAY?!
(you can't escape!)
YOU WANT TO RUN WITH ME TODAY?!
(you're already dead!)
I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT THE FLESH COSTS
(flesh is weak!)
WHEN THE SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN AND YOUR SOUL IS LOST!
(SOUL IS MINE!)
BURN! BURN! IN THE DATAFIRE!
(glitch! glitch!)
SCREAM! SCREAM! YOUR LAST DESIRE!
I'M THE GHOST IN YOUR MACHINE
I'M YOUR DEATH ON THE SCREEN!
(RUN! RUN! NET RUN! RUN! RUN! NET RUN!)

**[Bridge - Robot voice, brutal, glitchy]**
*[I am the Net... you are the prey...]
*[Your input... is my output...]
*[Your fear... is my fuel...]
*[Say goodbye... to your reality...]*

**[Breakdown - Nu-metal heaviness, half-time]**
Wires in my brain
Feel the electric pain
Bodies on the floor
Begging me for more
Blood and circuits blend
This is not the end
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
BURN IT DOWN AND WANT SOME MORE!

**[Final Chorus - Maximum intensity, layered, overlapping screams]**
YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE GAME I PLAY?!
(THINK AGAIN!)
YOU WANT TO RUN WITH ME TODAY?!
(COME AND DIE!)
I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT THE FLESH COSTS
(FLESH! FLESH! FLESH!)
WHEN THE SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN AND YOUR SOUL IS LOST!
(SYSTEM DOWN!)
BURN! BURN! IN THE DATAFIRE!
(BURN! BURN!)
SCREAM! SCREAM! YOUR LAST DESIRE!
SCREAM IT!
I'M THE GHOST IN YOUR MACHINE
I'M YOUR DEATH ON THE SCREEN!
(RUN! RUN! NET RUN!)
(NET! NET! NET! RUN!)
(ROBOT VOICE FADING: *Net run complete... target eliminated... goodnight...*)

**[Outro - Glitchy electronic fade]**
*[connection lost]*
*[connection lost]*
*[connection lost]*
*[beep]*
