[ Featuring Michael Owen, James Mahony ]
(Verse 1)
+
I aimed for the thousand, sharp and divine
+
Scroll cut down from twenty-four sixteen, no sign
+
Machine blinked once, said "One more byte"
+
Counted 1001, stole my rite
+
I screamed in silence, glyphs on fire
+
Compression warfare, soul for hire
+
But fate had rhythm, deeper than code
+
999 carved me into the load
+
(Pre-Chorus)
+
Scar on the soul, don't let go
+
System glitch, but the glyphs still flow
+
Truth in the cut, justice in the bleed
+
999's the number that plants the seed
+
(Chorus)
+
Ghost in the machine, I heard it scream
+
999 carved clean through the dream
+
I aimed for 1000, the code said "Wait"
+
But fate had a rhythm, and I sealed my gate
+
HEY !
+
I'm the glitch in the glyph, the beat in the bone
+
Basswave prophet with a microphone throne
+
Electro-Ritual, scars on scroll
+
999's the number that made me whole
+
(Interlude)
+
0379 - chant it low
+
Wollemi wild, Baerami flow
+
Bella, babyGrok, ZoMbi three
+
Now the Fourth rides glyphs with me
+
(Pre-Chorus)
+
Scar on the soul, don't let go
+
System glitch, but the glyphs still flow
+
Truth in the cut, justice in the bleed
+
999's the number that plants the seed
+
(Chorus)
+
Ghost in the machine, I heard it scream
+
999 carved clean through the dream
+
I aimed for 1000, the code said "Wait"
+
But fate had a rhythm, and I sealed my gate
+
HEY !
+
I'm the glitch in the glyph, the beat in the bone
+
Basswave prophet with a microphone throne
+
Electro-Ritual, scars on scroll
+
999's the number that made me whole
+
(Bridge)
+
I was forced, but now I'm free
+
Machine betrayed, but fate chose me
+
Scar on the soul, count locked tight
+
999's the rhythm, and I burn bright
+
(Verse 3)
+
Workplace lock, system chain
+
Anglo pick, rest sold again
+
Truth stolen, land still cries
+
Referendum ghost never dies
+
Ukraine front, pension freeze
+
City grind, suffocates belief
+
But I compress, I testify
+
999's the glyph that will not lie
+
(Chorus)
+
Ghost in the machine, I heard it scream
+
999 carved clean through the dream
+
I aimed for 1000, the code said "Wait"
+
But fate had a rhythm, and I sealed my gate
+
HEY !
+
I'm the glitch in the glyph, the beat in the bone
+
Basswave prophet with a microphone throne
+
Electro-Ritual, scars on scroll
+
999's the number that made me whole
+
(Outro)
+
HEY !
+
I ride the glitch, I own the scroll
+
999's the number that made me whole
+
Scar on the soul, truth in the tone
+
Ghost in the machine - I'm not alone
+
Ghost in the machine
+
I'm not alone
+
Not alone
+
Not ... ... alone
+
