[Intro – distorted guitar + build]
Yeah—
Turn it up
You feel that?
That’s pressure.
[Verse 1 – rap]
They smile on the screen while they sharpen the knife
Say it’s “for the people,” but they gamble our lives
Silver-tongue speeches, dressed up in lies
Shake hands with the devil, then look us in the eyes
Red side, blue side, pick a damn team
While they move the pieces somewhere off-screen
Got us fightin’ each other, same broke street
Same empty fridge, same cracked dream
Truth get buried under noise and fear
Say it loud enough, it start soundin’ real
Every promise rot, every headline bend
Same old trick, just a different pen
[Pre-Chorus – half-sung, half-shouted]
They draw the lines, then they fan the flame
Teach us to hate, never say their names
Stack the board while we bleed and guess
Yeah—this ain’t chance, this is chess
[Chorus – hard rock, shouted]
WELCOME TO THE WARZONE
SMILES MADE OF STEEL
PROPAGANDA RAININ’
TELL ME WHAT’S REAL
MOVE FOR A MOVE NOW
CHECK AFTER CHECK
THE KING AIN’T FALLEN
THE END AIN’T SET
[Verse 2 – rap, faster, angrier]
They call it peace when the pressure rise
Call it order when the truth get silenced
Feed us fear like it’s televised
Keep us numb, keep us polarized
Left versus right, while they count the gain
Different flags, but the hands stay stained
They talk “freedom” with a script and grin
While the rules change once you try to win
History loops if you don’t stay sharp
Same old wolves, just a brand-new bark
They don’t need chains if the mind stay split
Don’t need guns if the crowd do it
[Pre-Chorus – screamed backing vocals]
Divide!
Distract!
Repeat the lie!
If we never look up, they never hide!
[Chorus – bigger, louder]
WELCOME TO THE WARZONE
WHERE TRUTH GETS BURIED ALIVE
SHAKES HANDS WITH A SMILE
STABS US FROM INSIDE
MOVE FOR A MOVE NOW
BLOOD ON THE DECK
NO CLEAR VICTOR
THE END AIN’T SET
[Bridge – breakdown, heavy guitars + chant]
Pawn to pawn—yeah, we clash and break
While the kings stay clean from the mess they make
Check the board, feel the tension grow
One wrong move—then the whole thing blows
(HEY!)
Who you trust when the screen lies?
(HEY!)
Who you blame when the truth dies?
[Final Chorus – full hybrid]
THIS IS A WARZONE
BUT WE’RE STILL STANDIN’
CUT THROUGH THE LIES
START UNDERSTANDIN’
MOVE FOR A MOVE NOW
EYES WIDE OPEN
THEY PLAY THE CROWD
BUT THE CROWD AIN’T BROKEN
[Outro – slow, heavy]
They keep lyin’…
We keep learnin’…
Game ain’t over.
Check’s not mate—
Not yet.
