[Intro]
[distorted electric guitar riff, heavy drums]
[Verse 1]
[rhythmic rapping]
They built the towers on our bones, a concrete prayer
To a god they made in numbers, floating in the air
I walk the grid where phantoms trade a future for a soul
And every screen that glitters is a part of their control
They sell your water in a bottle, poison in the well
A story of the hero but they'll never let you tell
The part about the serpent, the part about the fall
The part about the chains they wrapped around us all
[Pre-Chorus]
[vocals become more melodic]
I see the symbols in the logos, the angles in the design
A geometry of power, ancient and so fine
They own the ink that writes the law, the gold that buys the vote
A silent erosion, a sinking leaky boat
[Chorus]
[shouted vocals, heavy distorted guitars]
Call it progress, call it freedom, call it necessary pain
But I just see the puppet master dancing in the rain
Of crises, of wars that never end, a broken world for broken people
A message they will send through every
[Post-Chorus]
[full intensity]
Star! Cell! Headline that you read! (I let you read!)
Planting seeds of doubt and fear, a bit of seed!
They want you weak! Divided! Fighting for the scraps they throw
While they feast on what you're losing! Empires grow!
[Verse 2]
[rapid-fire rapping, industrial percussion]
From shadows they watch with eyes that never blink
They think they have us cornered but they're wrong, I think
Because spirit's not for sale, blood is not for rent
And every lie they tell is debt heaven-sent
For them to pay one day, the gunning of the wind
When giant weights, chaos can begin
Yeah, yeah, not with shout, not with gun, not with flag unfurled
But silent understanding, soul of the world
We're not cattle, not the flock of sheep, but wolves atop the wall
We're here to creep into the cracks of their foundation
Hollow halls, tear down tapestries that hang on their walls
My declaration, testament of rage, turning the page
Shaking paradigm, shattering it
Every fraction of the plans aligned, catalytic
Catastrophic, lyrical, castigating static
Of manufactured madness, satanic, acrobatic
In economic tactics, fanatic for the truth
Systematically erratic when I smash it, you feel it
Evaporate the planet, goddamn panic, titanic
Psychotic, dismantling mechanic to the chancellor's banquet
As we stand to this lit match to flammable mantras
They can't stand the volcanic vernacular, technical attack
Categorical factual, maverick, savage with grammar math
Travesty they call the top, the free, leading lambs to slaughter
Wolf Caesar, prophet, apocalypse, bottom of the metal
Down went that tower, Babel in the ever, every syllable
Surgical incision with precision, decision, the palm branch
Gorged digestion, demolition, collision with grander losing conclusion
This constitution, view control, making system folds
Story told in fire, gold, behold, it print paper thin and gleam
Promise of the knee, promise me break when you think
[Bridge]
[melodic singing, sustained guitar chords]
Value isn't real, thought in your head
They make worthless heaps, starving you dead
Own hospitals, cures refuse to share
Own even the sky, floating everywhere
Satellites want you, data you breathe
No corner of Earth won't retreat
Catalog, analyze on you piece by piece
So your numbers will cease, be controlled in perfect tiers
Up to crave what keeps you half alive
Sugar, drama, cheap, disposable and tastes good
Unpardonable, line for the next, next flag and next election
More redaction of things we almost knew
Truth so cold, shiny object, glimmer, poison dose
Taken, gave by bottles of clay, taught to kneel to suffering
Was noble, real weakness, virtue, time, chicane, wisdom
Not fostered up, need for conquered death
[Outro]
[aggressive shouting, heavy double-kick drums]
Refuse the whole catalog of yesterday, surrender to system lie
Chase! Spark the search, fire voice that speaks names
Of those who born lever, higher than the king
Of nothing, even more on the page, try to purge the fear
By unapologetic, built to primal light
Let them have marble halls, spark, broken spear
Count words, miss coins while destiny draws near
Walk among you, I am you, anger in check
Unspoken thought you bear, lot more, just man
King of no-man, summon the free ghost in machine
Brother, I cannot breathe
In the beginning, truth they can't erase
Wear crown of thorns and wait, smile on face
Kingdom no more, every guy I am, some king
In the dense, in the hell!
