**Lyrics by Vagabond**
-------------------

Intro:
Voice modulated, deep echoing
System override. Path initialized.
影のコード、起動中 (Kage no kōdo, kidō-chū)

Verse 1:
Silhouettes trace lines in smoke
Movin' like code that you never broke
You scream loud I just watch
‘Cause silence strikes harder than clocks

No spotlight, I blend the trace
Blueprint thoughts, I erase your face
Strategic paths with no regret
I set the rules, and you’re the bet

Pre-Chorus:
静寂が武器となる (Seijaku ga buki to naru)
予測できない一手 (Yosoku dekinai itte)
声なき声が支配する (Koe naki koe ga shihai suru)

Chorus:
Shadow protocol in motion
Move like data under ocean
Not a ghost, I’m the system crack
Whispers hit where punches lack

コードの裏に潜む者 (Kōdo no ura ni hisomu mono)
誰にも見えない術 (Dare ni mo mienai jutsu)
反応するな、進めだけ (Hannō suru na, susume dake)
I’m already gone.

Verse 2:
Infiltrate the noise you trust
I turn your steel into rust
I’m the calm you overlook
But every king forgets the rook

Your steps fall like scripted cues
I reroute the path you choose
They chant war I choose mind
One silent blow to undermine

Pre-Chorus:
仮面の下で笑う (Kamen no shita de warau)
敵は気づかないまま (Teki wa kizukanai mama)
動かぬ証拠、それが術 (Ugokanu shōko, sore ga jutsu)

Chorus:
Shadow protocol in motion
Thought is blade, no commotion
Catch me once? You’re already late
I’ve hacked your fate, now watch it break

動きは風のように (Ugoki wa kaze no yō ni)
作戦は音を立てない (Sakusen wa oto o tatenai)
すでに君の一歩先 (Sude ni kimi no ippo saki)

Breakdown:
You're building walls while I’m beneath...
Reading every breath you breathe...
情報は血よりも早い (Jōhō wa chi yori mo hayai)
支配者は影に立つ (Shihaisha wa kage ni tatsu)

Chorus:
Shadow protocol ignites the screen
Rules rewritten in the in-between
No crown, no myth, just steel and code
You scream, I slip through the fold

コードを超えて生きる (Kōdo o koete ikiru)
指先が世界を曲げる (Yubisaki ga sekai o mageru)
最終命令は「消えろ」(Saishū meirei wa 'kiero')

Outro:
I was never here.
You were never safe.
記録は削除された (Kiroku wa sakujo sareta)
