[Intro]
Brick by brick, hear the hammer fall
Somebody profits when the sirens call
[Verse 1]
Blueprint stamped with a blood-red seal
Gold in the gears, no room to feel
They point from a tower, we carry the weight
Send young names through a rusted gate
A mother folds shirts on a kitchen chair
A general counts what he calls fair
The devil wears gloves, keeps clean hands
Builds tall walls from broken lands
[Pre-Chorus]
Who gets the crown when the children kneel?
Who signs the page, who hides the steel?
[Chorus]
Brick by brick by the devil's hand
They raise a throne on a burning land
Brick by brick, but we understand
No more marching for a crooked plan
Tear down the lie, let the silence speak
Power looks strong till the people reach
Brick by brick, watch the towers crack
We take our names and our future back
[Verse 2]
Newsroom polished, the numbers spin
A clean white suit calls the losses wins
Maps get red where the homes once stood
Promises taste like splintered wood
The factory hums while the medals shine
A paycheck buys one more dinner line
But the smoke comes home in a soldier's stare
And no parade can repair what's there
[Pre-Chorus]
Who gets the crown when the children kneel?
Who signs the page, who hides the steel?
[Chorus]
Brick by brick by the devil's hand
They raise a throne on a burning land
Brick by brick, but we understand
No more marching for a crooked plan
Tear down the lie, let the silence speak
Power looks strong till the people reach
Brick by brick, watch the towers crack
We take our names and our future back
[Bridge]
I don't want another anthem for graves
Another flag used to number the brave
If peace is weak, then why do they fear
Every honest voice they can hear?
Hands in the dust, eyes open wide
No king survives when the crowd steps outside
[Final Chorus]
Brick by brick by the devil's hand
We won't build walls for a stolen land
Brick by brick, now the truth can stand
No more marching for a crooked plan
Tear down the lie, let the silence speak
Power looks strong till the people reach
Brick by brick, watch the towers crack
We take our names and our future back
[Outro]
Leave the hammer, leave the throne
Build something living from the stone
