[Intro – cinematic, eerie whisper → scream]
They’re watching every move I make…
(Tension builds → full scream)
CRUCIFIED!
⸻
[Verse 1 – tense, spoken/melodic]
Every word I say gets twisted in the flames,
Another broken truth, another loaded name.
Shadows point their fingers, dragging me to shame,
I’m the villain in a story I didn’t even claim.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – rising, layered vocals]
And I can’t escape this cage they’ve built,
Bury me alive in the weight of guilt.
⸻
[Chorus – explosive, anthemic chant]
We’re crucified for the lies they spread,
Torn apart by the things they said.
No halo here, just a crown of thorns,
We’re the outlaws they’ve sworn to scorn.
We’re crucified in the public eye,
Living dead but we can’t just die.
Raise your voice, let the silence break,
We’re the martyrs they love to hate.
⸻
[Verse 2 – heavier guitars, more aggressive]
Every scar’s a target painted on my skin,
Every secret weaponized to drag me in.
I’ve been screaming but they turn away,
Feeding on my pain like it’s their parade.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – soaring clean into screams]
And I can’t escape this cage they’ve built,
Bury me alive in the weight of guilt!
⸻
[Chorus – repeat, bigger layers]
We’re crucified for the lies they spread,
Torn apart by the things they said.
No halo here, just a crown of thorns,
We’re the outlaws they’ve sworn to scorn.
We’re crucified in the public eye,
Living dead but we can’t just die.
Raise your voice, let the silence break,
We’re the martyrs they love to hate.
⸻
[Bridge – breakdown, screams + half-time chugs]
Nail me down! (NAIL ME DOWN!)
Drag my name into the ground!
Throw your stones, I’ll bleed and fight,
I was born to be crucified!
(Whisper → scream) Born to be crucified!
⸻
[Final Chorus – soaring w/ screamed ad-libs]
We’re crucified for the lies they spread,
Torn apart by the things they said.
No halo here, just a crown of thorns,
We’re the outlaws they’ve sworn to scorn.
We’re crucified in the public eye,
Living dead but we can’t just die.
Raise your voice, let the silence break,
We’re the martyrs they love to hate.
⸻
[Outro – eerie piano + fading screams]
Crucified…
But I’m still alive.
