[Intro]
[Pulsing synth bass, ethereal vocal pads, a traditional guzheng plucking a dissonant melody]

[Verse 1]
The crucible is set with pearl and bone,
A formula for life I do not own.
I seek the gold my own soul cannot make,
And with this feast, a hollow god I wake.

[Pre-Chorus]
This is not cultivation, it's a theft,
The inner furnace, barren and bereft.
I drink the essence, bright and unforgiving,
To keep my half-made spirit from ceasing.

[Chorus]
这是一颗 伪金丹
Forged in the suffering of another's breath.
我偷来的长生 一场空虚的骗局
To devour the world, because I fear my death.

[Verse 2]
以他者之魂 补我残缺之鼎
窃取生机 点燃将熄之灯
真正的金丹 需要内在的修行
而我 只是一个贪婪的幽灵

[Chorus]
这是一颗 伪金丹
Forged in the suffering of another's breath.
我偷来的长生 一场空虚的骗局
To devour the world, because I fear my death.

[Bridge]
"The Great Dao nurtures all things without claiming possession...
...而我却只会吞噬."

[Guitar/Synth Solo]

[Final Chorus]
这是一颗 伪金丹
Forged in the suffering of another's breath.
我偷来的长生 一场空虚的骗局
To devour the world, because I fear my death.


[Outro] 伪金丹... 骗局...
[Music fades to the sound of a slow, heavy heartbeat and a final, deep gong.]
