[Intro — emergency broadcast, distant church bells] Stay inside. Stay afraid. Trust the numbers. Obey. [Whispered] They said it was protection... [Scream] But it felt like occupation. [Verse 1 — low, restrained vocal] They locked the doors on dying rooms, Left the old to fade alone. No final touch, no family voice, Just last breaths and lonely groans They told the frightened, “This is mercy.” Told the faithful, “Stay away.” Closed the churches, closed the classrooms! Then called the damage necessary! Children learned to fear each other. Neighbors watched through window blinds. Every news cast became a warning. Every face became a sign. [Pre-Chorus — drums rising] Six feet apart. Eyes to the floor. Cover your mouth. Don’t question anymore. [Chorus — explosive] MASKED INTO SILENCE! LOCKED OUT OF LIFE! Fear became the weapon, And obedience the price! NUMBERS ON THE SCREEN! ORDERS FROM ABOVE! They separated families And called isolation love! SHUT DOWN THE SCHOOLS! SHUT DOWN THE CHURCH! Tell the whole damn nation That compliance doesn’t hurt! But behind every order, Behind every flashing light— SOMEBODY PROFITED WHEN THE PEOPLE LOST THEIR RIGHTS! [Verse 2 — rapid, aggressive delivery] Reports changed! Headlines screamed! Every death fed the machine! Questions buried! Voices banned! Medicine became the command! They called the doubtful dangerous, Called resistance selfish pride. Some were denied compassion When they would not choose a side. Shots were sold like absolution, Promises carved into air. Those who asked about the risks Were told they didn’t care. Truth became whatever power Could repeat the loudest lie. And every frightened generation Was convinced the end was nigh. [Breakdown — crushing half-time] LOCK THE CHURES! CLOSE THE SCHOOLS! FORCED THE ISOLATION RULES! HIDE THE FACE! BREAK THE BOND! KEEP THE EMERGENCY GOING ON! No goodbye! No last embrace! Just plastic walls and a covered face! YOU CALLED IT SAFETY! WE CALLED IT CONTROL! You quarantined the body— Then you came after the souls! [Bridge — eerie wooden flute, clean rasp] Maybe sickness filled the air. Maybe fear did even more. Maybe truth was buried somewhere Under every bolted door. I watched loneliness become a fever. Watched anxiety learn to spread. Watched the living lose each other While the dying lost their beds. Then the streets began to burn. Chemical smoke consumed the sky. Everyone was turned against someone— And nobody asked who profited or why. [Final Chorus — full force] MASKED INTO SILENCE! LOCKED OUT OF LIFE! You trained a generation To surrender without any kind of fight! NUMBERS ON THE SCREEN! ORDERS FROM ABOVE! You severed human contact Then pretended it was love! SHUT DOWN THE SCHOOLS! SHUT DOWN THE CHURCH! But you could not kill the questions No matter how the people hurt! You manufactured panic. You weaponized the night. YOU BUILT YOUR POWER OUT OF FEAR— NOW WE’RE DRAGGING IT TO LIGHT! [Outro — whispered crowd becoming a roar] Stay inside... NO. Stay afraid... NO. Do not question... NO. Obey... WE WILL NOT. SIX FEET UNDER ORDERS SIX FEET APART, IT IS TIME FOR REBELLION TO START!!? .
