Verse 1
We didn’t come with fear tonight,
we came with plans and chains.
With sharpened laws and blessed steel
to make the lesson stay.
We hunted slow, we hunted right,
three days, no mercy spared.
We broke the old, we took the young,
we made him watch them die.
Pre-Chorus
Don’t rush the kill.
Let silence work.
Let screams explain the truth.
Chorus
Teach them to watch.
Teach them to stand still.
Teach them that breathing
is a privilege, not a will.
Break them in daylight,
call it peace, call it law.
You don’t need monsters to rule the world—
you just need them to watch.
Verse 2
Posts in the square like sacred bones,
washed but never clean.
Children lifted onto shoulders
so nothing goes unseen.
We named each death like scripture lines,
slow, precise, and clear.
This one for defiance.
This one for fear.
Pre-Chorus
Hold his head up.
Don’t let him turn.
Make grief a public act.
Chorus
Teach them to watch.
Teach them to agree.
Teach them the sound of steel
means safety, means “be free”.
Blood on the stone,
cheers in the throat—
order carved into flesh.
A kingdom doesn’t stand on truth.
It stands on what it lets die next.
Bridge
He didn’t beg.
That made it worse.
So we took more.
We always do.
You can forgive a screaming beast—
but silence?
Silence threatens you.
Verse 3
We left the body long enough
for doubt to learn its place.
Then cut it clean, precise, polite,
right in front of every face.
A child cried once.
No one moved.
That’s when we knew we’d won.
Pre-Chorus
Fear doesn’t need belief.
Only time.
Final Chorus (lower, slower, crushing)
Teach them to watch.
Teach them to forget.
Teach them that the worst thing
is not death—but being next.
Chains don’t rule the world.
Knives don’t make it stay.
It’s the crowd that learns to look away
that keeps us in our place.
Outro
The square is clean.
The snow falls white.
The lesson worked just fine.
No wolves left.
No questions asked.
Only people
still alive.
