[[A powerful, theatrical male lead vocalist with a wide dynamic and emotional range. Features complex, multi-layered, overdubbed vocal harmonies that become corrupted and detuned as the song progresses.]] 

[Part I: The Manipulation] 

[[The song begins cleanly with just a grand piano playing a somber, emotional ballad theme. The lead vocal is soft and reflective.]] 

So it comes to this, the final act is played 

The web is woven, all the traps are laid

A little Data Manipulation, a number out of place 

To change the course of history, and leave no single trace 

I'll Inhibit System Recovery, delete the backup files 

There's no turning back the clock, despite your sad denials 

[Part II: The Ransom] 

[[A solid, mid-tempo rock beat enters with a driving bassline and electric guitar power chords. The vocals become stronger and more confident.]] 

Now the screen is frozen, with a message clear and bright 

Your Data's Encrypted for Impact, locked up ever so tight! 

A little Financial Theft to make my pockets fat 

Send the bitcoin to the address, or that's the end of tha-a-a-a-t-t-t-t- 

[[The final word "that" stutters and glitches violently, leading into the next section]] 

[Part III: The Destruction] 

[[The tempo and style shift abruptly to chaotic, dissonant Mathcore. The time signature is erratic. Vocals are shouted, fragmented, and panned erratically. Drums are frantic with blast beats.]] 

Data Destruction! DISK WIPE! BURN IT TO THE GROUND! 

ENDPOINT DENIAL OF SERVICE! NOT A SINGLE FUCKING SOUND! 

NETWORK DENIAL OF SERVICE! FLOOD IT 'TIL IT BREAKS! 

FIRMWARE CORRUPTION FOR GOODNESS GRACIOUS SAKES! 

STOP THE SERVICE! SHUT THE SYSTEM DOWN! I'M THE KING OF THIS DEAD TOWN! 

[Part IV: The Corrupted Finale] 

[[The music attempts to return to a grand, operatic finale, but it is corrupted. The vocal harmonies detune and are interrupted by bursts of digital static and harsh noise. A soaring guitar solo begins but is cut short by a loud BSoD error sound.]]

(Corrupted Harmony 1: He's a ma-a-a-ster of di-sas-ter!)

 I'll leave my grand Defacement on your walls so all can see!

 (Corrupted Harmony 2: A di-gi-tal mon-ster!)

 I'll Remove your Account Acce-e-e-e-ess, take away the key! 

(Corrupted Harmony 3: A le-gend in the da-ark-ness!)

 I'll Hijack all your Resour-ur-ur-urces for the whole wide world and me!

 (All Harmonies, detuning and collapsing) An Email Bombing tribute... for ETERNIT-T-T-T-Y! [[sound of a tape stopping]]

 [Outro]

[[The song cuts abruptly to 5 seconds of complete, unnerving silence.]] 

[[The song ends with a single, distorted, low-quality sound of a dial-up modem connecting and then failing with a loud error buzz.]]

[END]
