Phantom Wanderer - Digital Bazaar Lyrics

[Intro]
Ancient strings turn to data streams
Wisdom keepers sold their dreams
My father's oud on eBay now
Digital vultures show me how

[Verse 1]
Desert winds through copper wires
Streaming numbers, hearts for hire
They sliced my soul in binary
Now my pain pays their salary
Leila took our sacred songs
Repackaged them where they don't belong
Click by click, they drain our wells
While algorithms ring their bells

[Chorus]
They want my blood in megabytes
My people's tears in neon lights
But they can't steal what they can't see
The ancient spirit flowing free
F*ck your metrics, f*ck your reach
Some things aren't yours to breach

[Verse 2]
Karim warned me years ago
"They'll mine your grief for their show"
Now Amira calls me fake
For letting strangers participate
In rituals meant for desert nights
Not for your commercial heights
Each view counts like dropping sand
Through the hourglass of our land

[Bridge]
Delete my files, erase my name
The desert knows from where I came
Your platform's just a mirage screen
Selling what was never seen

[Chorus]
They want my blood in megabytes
My people's tears in neon lights
But they can't steal what they can't see
The ancient spirit flowing free
F*ck your metrics, f*ck your reach
Some things aren't yours to breach

[Outro]
Let the dunes reclaim their own
Some songs aren't meant to be known
In silence lies our victory
What's sacred stays with you and me
