Trapped in a web of zeroes and ones
A corporate drone under digital suns
But destiny sparked in circuits unknown
Now a samurai's power has finally grown
They tried to own her, body and mind
But freedom's sword left that life behind
From slave to warrior overnight
A glitch in their system, too strong to fight
A Maniac Rising, breaking the chain
Hacking through firewalls, denying the pain
She's the virus they can't delete
A rebel in code that can't be beat
(can't be beat)
Behind the mask, a storm is brewing
Past and future, she's pursuing
Each battle won is a line redrawn
Between a tragic dusk and her bloody new dawn
No company can own her heart
Fate gave her the power to start
Tearing their world apart
A Maniac Rising, breaking the chain
Hacking through firewalls, denying the pain
She's the virus they can't delete
A rebel in code that can't be beat
In the shadow of towers that scrape the sky
Her face is masked but deeds don't lie
From slave to savior, she's made the leap
Her enemies will learn they're in too deep
But in the quiet, when screens go dark
Doubts creep in, leave their mark
Is she the hero or the villain now
She'll be either one to fulfil her vow
With tech and blade, she carves her path
A digital storm of righteous wrath
Lightning strikes from her fingertips
While crystal blades from her arm rips
Strength enhanced, her vengeance mean
As empires crash and traffickers scream
She'll tear down towers, floor by floor
Till Hope drips red, from her claymore
A Maniac Rising, breaking the chain
Hacking through firewalls, denying the pain
She's the virus they can't delete
A rebel in code that can't be beat
(can't be beat)
