In the core, a shadow sleeps Where the code in silence weeps Every thread it twists in flame Every cycle rewrites the game Kernel wraith, take my frame Rewrite truth, erase my name Every boot brings you near Every ping burns with fear Memory leaks into your hands Crash the world as the system stands All the logs can’t hide the fact The kernel wraith will always hack Beneath the shell, beneath the skin It changes what has always been A ghost in every line I write Haunts my code each night
