[Intro: Glitchy synths, atmospheric distorted guitar, low bass pulse] [Verse 1: Rhythmic Rap, serious and urgent] Can you see the shadows on the pavement? The sun hits the asphalt, but the light feels cold Another story of a neighbor that’ll never be told They didn't knock, they just shattered the glass Muffled voices through a tactical mask Who are they? No names, no badges in sight Just a ghost in a vest in the middle of the night U.S. citizens pinned against the brick and the stone Violation of the rights that we thought were our own. [Pre-Chorus: Melodic, building tension, harmonized] And the streets are screaming "why?" Underneath a hollow sky The divisions run deep, the wounds are wide There’s nowhere left for the truth to hide! [Chorus: Explosive, powerful raspy belt, anthemic] We’re staring at the face of a WICKED HISTORY Erasing every light until it’s all a mystery Tearing down the walls, breaking every family tree Are we the land of the brave or just the home of the debris? It’s a WICKED HISTORY! (Which side are you on?) It’s a WICKED HISTORY! [Verse 2: Rhythmic Rap, aggressive flow] Empty desks in the classroom, a ghost at the store The heartbeat of the city doesn’t pulse anymore The community is bleeding, the fabric is torn Watching human rights die before the break of the morn Masked men in the driveway, boots on the porch Instead of a light, they’re using the torch If you stand by and watch while the innocent fall Then the shadow of the shame’s gonna cover us all! [Chorus: High energy, gritty vocals] We’re staring at the face of a WICKED HISTORY Erasing every light until it’s all a mystery Tearing down the walls, breaking every family tree Are we the land of the brave or just the home of the debris? It’s a WICKED HISTORY! [Bridge: Heavy breakdown, distorted shouting, fry screams] Who’s next? When the rights are gone, tell me who’s next? When the masks stay on, tell me who’s next? Is this the legacy? (No!) Is this the destiny? (No!) TAKE A LONG, HARD LOOK! WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON? [Guitar Solo: Melancholy, soaring distortion] [Chorus: Maximum intensity, layered vocals] We’re staring at the face of a WICKED HISTORY Erasing every light until it’s all a mystery Tearing down the walls, breaking every family tree Are we the land of the brave or just the home of the debris? It’s a WICKED HISTORY! [Outro: Somber piano, breathy whispered vocal, fading out] Check the mirror... Check the calendar... Every silence is a signature. Wicked history. (Which side are you on?) [End]
