[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, listen up
It's time to talk 'bout the kings and queens
Who rule with an iron fist, no love in their scenes
[Verse 1]
They sit on thrones made of greed, eyes blind to the need,
Dividing the people, sowing lies like a seed.
Promises they make, but they're broken so fast,
Living in a golden cage built to hold the masses in the past.
Governments playing chess, but it’s all a façade,
While the streets cry out for justice, nobody’s on guard.
Laws made for the rich, what about the poor?
They wake up, drowning in dreams, always wanting more.
[Pre-Chorus]
When power corrupts, it’s a dangerous dance,
They push us in corners, won’t give us a chance.
Behind every smile hides a cold, cruel heart,
It’s time we unite, we can tear them apart.
[Chorus]
Bad rulers, yeah, they don’t understand,
The voices of the people holding out their hands.
We’re rising up, we’re taking back the night,
Together we’ll stand, we’ll fight for what’s right.
[Verse 2]
History’s written with the tears of the brave,
Every hero who fell, they’re the ones who would save.
Through the smoke and the lies, yeah, their stories unfold,
Demanding the truth in a world so cold.
We’re more than numbers on a page, more than pawns,
With voices that echo, and a spirit that’s strong.
Rulers may try to silence, but their time will expire,
We’re the fire in the darkness, we’ll rise ever higher.
[Pre-Chorus]
When power corrupts, it’s a dangerous dance,
They push us in corners, won’t give us a chance.
Behind every smile hides a cold, cruel heart,
It’s time we unite, we can tear them apart.
[Chorus]
Bad rulers, yeah, they don’t understand,
The voices of the people holding out their hands.
We’re rising up, we’re taking back the night,
Together we’ll stand, we’ll fight for what’s right.
[Bridge]
Let’s break all the chains, carve our own way,
No more puppeteers controlling the play.
With the power of the youth, let our voices ring loud,
With unity and strength, shout it out proud.
[Outro]
Yeah, the winds of change, they’re starting to blow,
The bad rulers may fall, the truth will bestow.
In a world where we rise, hand in hand, we’ll create,
A future of justice, together, not too late.
