Blood in the Ink

---

[Intro] (spoken, gritty)

They told me truth was dangerous…

But I still carved it in the page.

Blood in the ink… my legacy’s stained.

---

They said the pen’s mightier than the sword,

So I wrote my rebellion into every chord.

Government eyes tryna watch every move,

But I dance in the shadows with nothin’ to prove.

Fake smiles hide behind their laws and lies,

Feeding the masses with poison disguised.

I been walkin’ through fire, but I never combust,

Every scar on my skin is a weapon I trust.

---

[Chorus] (anthemic, layered)

Blood in the ink, truth on the page,

My words are a war they can’t ever cage.

They’ll silence my voice, but they can’t kill the flame,

I’ll burn through the chains, they’ll remember my name.

---

They control with fear, we rebel with sound,

Our anthems shake walls, make em’ tear to the ground.

Every beat is a bullet, every bar is a blow,

Let the whole world feel what they don’t wanna show.

They profit off pain while the people bleed,

Sell us a cure, then they plant the seed.

But we ain’t blind no more, now we see the game,

And I’m writin’ my truth with a barrel aimed.

---

[Bridge] (drop down to piano + ticking clock)

Tick… tock…

Time’s almost up.

Hear the pages bleed…

Hear the system erupt.

---

[Final Chorus] (choirs + cinematic drums)

Blood in the ink, truth on the page,

My words are a war they can’t ever cage.

They’ll silence my voice, but they can’t kill the flame,

I’ll burn through the chains, they’ll remember my name.
