Vultures in the Stadium

[Intro]
Sirens in the rafters
Smoke in my lungs, then I crackwards
Mask on, black flag, bad actors
Whole crowd buzzin' like reactors
[Verse 1]
Teeth grit, steel toe in the pit
Blood on the tongue, yeah I’m done bein’ “kid”
Stare down fear till the fear looks away
I don’t pray, I obey my rage
Cold eyes, warm hands on the chain
Pull that, full blast, unchain the strain
Grit in the gears when I grind my name
Carved in the door of the hall of shame
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that drip from the ceiling
That’s the poison, that’s the feeling
Every scar, every secret
I’m the blade, they’re the sequence
[Chorus]
Vultures in the stadium, circlin’ above me
They wanna see me break, but they still gotta love me (yeah)
I turn my pain into thunder when I stomp on the floor
Make the whole world shake
You want war? Say no more
[Verse 2]
Dead stare, march slow through the smoke
Dark thoughts lace up round my throat
Heart like a drum when it beats off-time
Every misstep just feeds my climb
Iron in my breath when I spit this grime
Barbed wire tongue, every word cross-line
Crowd go still when the bassline drop
Then we all jump high when the chains unlock
[Pre-Chorus]
Feel that crack in the ceiling
Let the ash rain down, unsealing
All the ghosts I’ve been keepin’
Now they chant with me, screaming
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]
They say “calm down”
I say “burn it”
They say “stand back”
I say “earn it”
[low vocal register]
Let the choir sing doom in the back of my head
While the kick hits hard like a pact with the dead
[growled]
If the crown won’t fit, I’ll melt it, mold it
Put it on crooked, still kings, still morbid
[Chorus]

rap, Hybrid rap-metal over dark trap production and cinematic strings; low-tuned chugs lock with a distorted 808, razor hi-hats, and industrial hits. Verses lean into tight, menacing rap cadences, then explode into a screamed, anthemic hook. Choir pads and brass stabs swell in the pre-chorus, with brief breakdown stops that drop to vocal and sub before slamming back in. Male vocals, alternating between growls, screams, and snarled rap., metal
