Lethal Dose (Luke Hester)

[Intro]
Luke Hester
Lethal dose
Say the name
And your veins corrode
[Verse 1]
Boot on the throat of the past you praise
Teeth in the throat of the lies you raise
Ash in the lungs of the faith you sell
He carves his mark in the walls of hell
Crowd in a circle of broken bones
Chanting his name like a rolling stone
Every scar on his skin
A toll
Every riff like a bell for souls
[Chorus]
Luke Hester
Lethal dose (hey!)
Poison in the halo
Burn it to smoke
Hands in the air as your idols choke
Luke Hester
Luke Hester
Lethal dose
Luke Hester
Lethal dose (woah)
One shout
And the fragile fracture and fold
Cold eyes
Watching empires corrode
Luke Hester
Luke Hester
Lethal dose
[Verse 2]
Steel in his fist and his jaw locked tight
Spits on the throne of your paper might
Crowd goes quiet when the lights turn red
Every doubt you had turns into lead
Tattooed truth on his knuckles reads
“Cut the rot out
Let it bleed”
Pierced through pride like a rusted nail
If you’re built on fear
You’re built to fail
[Chorus]
Luke Hester
Lethal dose (hey!)
Poison in the halo
Burn it to smoke
Hands in the air as your idols choke
Luke Hester
Luke Hester
Lethal dose
Luke Hester
Lethal dose (woah)
One shout
And the fragile fracture and fold
Cold eyes
Watching empires corrode
Luke Hester
Luke Hester
Lethal dose
[Bridge]
[Half-time breakdown
Crowd shout-along]
Hester
Hester
Carve it in bone
Hester
Hester
Tearing your throne
Face the man
Or face the grave
Kneel or stand
But you won’t be saved
[Chorus]
Luke Hester
Lethal dose (hey!)
Poison in the halo
Burn it to smoke
Hands in the air as your idols choke
Luke Hester
Luke Hester
Lethal dose
Luke Hester
Lethal dose (woah)
One scream
And your kingdom’s turning to mold
Last breath tastes like rust and cold
Luke Hester
Luke Hester
Lethal dose

metal, Hybrid of classic blast-beat death metal and modern groove metal; down-tuned guitars in tremolo and chug riffs, sharp pinch harmonics, and a sinister mid-tempo breakdown. Male vocals alternate guttural growls with higher screams; gang shouts on the title hook. Drums relentless but with a halftime slam in the bridge, bass glued to the kick, guitars panned wide for a crushing, live-stage feel., death metal
