[Intro – Low tribal toms, distant choir, whispered gang vocals rising from the darkness. Gravel-throated lead enters like a warning. Slow build with crushing guitars.] (Hey...) (Hey...) (Bad Blood...) (Bad Blood...) [Verse 1 – Heavy stomping groove. Deep gravel vocals with restrained rage. Every line punches harder than the last. Background voices echo key words.] You carved your name beneath my skin, Fed every lie like it was medicine. Raised your crown from shattered trust, Now your kingdom's built on rust. Every promise turned to smoke, Every bond another choke. I buried mercy in the dirt— Now all you touch becomes the hurt. (Break...) (Bleed...) [Pre-Chorus – Instruments pull back. Low chanting grows louder with every measure. Tension coils before impact.] You started the fire... Now stand in the flame... No saints... No saviors... Only names... [Chorus – Massive gang chants. Arena-sized vocals. Thick walls of guitars with pounding drums. The crowd should be able to scream every line.] BAD BLOOD! Running through these broken veins! BAD BLOOD! Nothing left to cleanse the stain! BAD BLOOD! Raise your fists! Break these chains! BAD BLOOD! We remember... Every... Name! (HEY!) (HEY!) (BAD BLOOD!) [Verse 2 – Faster rhythm. More aggressive guitars with driving bass. Lead vocals become rougher while backup chants answer every second line.] Your halo cracked before my eyes, Another saint in cheap disguise. Poison dripping from your tongue, Still pretending you've never done wrong. You fed on fear... You fed on pain... Now every breath repeats your name. The wolves you made... Have learned to bite... And they're hunting... Tonight. (Run...) [Pre-Chorus 2 – Bigger choir, rising harmonies with pounding floor toms. Build tension higher than before.] The debt is calling... Hear it sing... Every scar... Every sting... [Chorus – Double the gang vocals. Bigger harmonies and harder guitars. Crowd anthem energy.] BAD BLOOD! Nothing left beneath the skin! BAD BLOOD! Let the reckoning begin! BAD BLOOD! Raise your voice! Raise your sin! BAD BLOOD! We're still standing... You won't... Win! (HEY! HEY! HEY!) [Bridge – Instruments collapse into haunting clean guitar and deep bass pulse. Spoken gravel vocal over eerie choir. Slowly layer distortion back in.] I carried your ghost... Like a cross on my spine... I carried your lies... Like they were mine... Not anymore... (Not anymore...) [Breakdown – Half-time crushing groove. Downtuned guitars chug relentlessly. Lead vocalist roars while the crowd answers every chant. Leave space between lines for headbanging.] WHO MADE THIS— BAD BLOOD! WHO FED THIS— BAD BLOOD! WHO BLEEDS NOW— YOU DO! WHO STANDS NOW— WE DO! BAD! BLOOD! BAD! BLOOD! (Break! Break! Break!) [Final Chorus – Biggest section of the song. Layered gang vocals, choir, double-kick drums, soaring lead screams over deep growls. End with repeated chant fading into thunder.] BAD BLOOD! Burn it from the heart tonight! BAD BLOOD! Turn the darkness into light! BAD BLOOD! Stand your ground! Hold the line! BAD BLOOD! Your fate... Will never... Be mine! BAD BLOOD! BAD BLOOD! BAD BLOOD! (HEY!) (HEY!) (BAD BLOOD...) [Outro – Instruments slowly strip away until only tribal drums and distant chants remain. Final whispered gravel vocal.] Bad blood... Dies... With me...
