What’s That Sound

[Intro – clean guitar, eerie build]
There’s something moving in the dark tonight
Shadows shifting just outside the light
A voice says “boy, you better fall in line”
But I can feel the fracture in the spine

[Verse 1 – low, tense delivery]
Static in the air, something’s wrong
Eyes on every move, all along
There’s a man with a weapon in his hand
Saying “you don’t get to understand”

[Pre-Chorus – rising tension]
Draw the lines, divide the soul
Lose control, lose control

[Chorus – explosive]
STOP—what’s that sound?!
Feel the pressure breaking down!
LOOK—turn it around!
Everybody’s going down!
No one wins when the truth is drowned
Hear it now—what’s that sound?!

[Verse 2 – heavier riff, more aggression]
Battle lines carved into the street
Voices rise but they don’t compete
Every side screaming “we’re the right”
While the fire keeps feeding the fight

Young blood speaking from the chest
Getting buried under protest
Truth gets twisted, choked, confined
By the weight of a blinded mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Pick a side, lose your name
Fuel the fire, feed the flame

[Chorus]
STOP—what’s that sound?!
Feel the system breaking down!
LOOK—turn it around!
Everybody’s going down!
No one wins when the truth is drowned
Hear it now—what’s that sound?!

[Breakdown – slow, crushing]
Paranoia… in your veins…
Whispers crawling through your brain…
Step outside… cross the line…
Disappear without a sign…

[Breakdown Callout – screamed]
YOU STEP OUT—YOU GET ERASED
NO TRACE LEFT—NO NAME—NO FACE

[Bridge – haunting clean vocals over ambience]
Fear is how they keep you still
Bend your voice, reshape your will
If you listen, you can hear
Something breaking through the fear

[Final Chorus – layered, massive]
STOP—what’s that sound?!
Feel the whole world shaking now!
LOOK—turn it around!
Watch it all come crashing down!
If we fall and don’t stand our ground
We become that sound…

[Outro – fading, echoing]
Children… hear it now…
What’s that sound…
What’s going down…
