[Verse 1] 
Step onto the stage, cue the scripted tear,
Building a fortress of phantom fears.
Slip on the armor of the fucked-up soul,
Weaponize the damage to take control.
One word of truth and you pull the pin,
Shifting gravity so you always win.
You murder behind a porcelain face,
Leaving the crowd to clean up the space.
 
[Pre-chorus]
Here come the guards to secure the throne,
Protecting the fragile from a stepping stone.
They see the knife but they praise the wound,
Dancing along to their twisted tune!
 
[Chorus]
Behind the shield! (You hide the crime!)
Behind the shield! (Time after time!)
A hollow halo, drowned in the grime!
They close their eyes! (They take the bait!)
They close their eyes! (To feed the hate!)
To preach of fairness at a golden gate!

[Verse 2]
Look at the cabal stand there in their capes,
Buying up influence for the midnight r#pes.
Trade your conscience to suck for power,
Cheering the play-act in the darkest hour.
Turn your fury on those that see the game,
Strangling the critics just to clear your name.
Hollow words of justice from a cowardly tongue,
While the real execution has already begun!
 
[Pre-chorus]
Here come the guards to secure the throne,
Protecting the fragile from a stepping stone.
They see the knife but they praise the wound,
Dancing faggots to their every fucking tune!

[Chorus]
Behind the shield! (Embrace the crime!)
Behind the shield! (Time after time!)
A hollow halo, broken in the grime!
They close their eyes! (Swallow the bait!)
They close their eyes! (They love the hate!)
To piss on fairness through a golden gate!
 
[Bridge]
Wilful blindness in the courts of praise!
To stomp on the truth and set it ablaze!
You claim the hurt so you can hold the whip,
To guard the lies on our sinking ship!

[Chorus]
Behind the shield! (Choke on the crime!)
Behind the shield! (Bury truth with time!)
A hollow halo, fucked-up each time!
They close their eyes! (The hour is late!)
They close their eyes! (Swallowed by hate!)
To bury fairness under a rusted gate!

[Outro] 
A hollow halo... (Spinning in grime...)
They close their eyes... (Time after time...)
Behind their shields...
While they take the children...
For a good ol' time..!
 
[Outro story]
T-Tell me! What am I even accused of?!
W-What did I do wrong?!
 
Get in there...!
From now on... you better keep your mouth, shut.
 
W-w-wait... please... I-I'm...

[Coda instrumental]
