[Intro – distant bells, breath, whisper] They said it softly first… Like a joke with teeth… Like a flag that learned to bite… [Verse 1 – hushed, trembling] He laughs while breaking sacred law Calls it strength, calls it order Courts bend backward, truth dissolves Paper shields torn by disorder Crowds are fed a single voice Echo chambers dressed as freedom Enemies are carved from neighbors Fear becomes the new religion [Pre-Chorus – rising panic] Listen—listen—can you hear it crack? The spine of something not coming back… [Chorus – explosive, shrieked + choir] REACT. FIGHT BACK. Do not bow to the iron mask REACT. FIGHT BACK. Break the spell before it lasts No crown, no throne, no chosen man Above the law, above the land REACT. FIGHT BACK. We refuse the fascist path [Verse 2 – mocking, erratic] Uniforms with hidden faces Dragging shadows through the night Families fractured into silence Cruelty renamed as “right” Words are twisted, facts inverted Lies paraded, cheered as truth Power feeds on blind devotion Devours age and poisons youth [Bridge – spoken, unhinged, theatrical] “Oh it’s safety—” (sobbing laugh) “—it’s tradition—” (gasping) No—no—no— It is hunger wearing medals It is rot beneath the gold [Break – silence → sudden choir swell] [Chorus – bigger, chaotic] REACT. FIGHT BACK. Do not kneel to staged attack REACT. FIGHT BACK. Tear the veil, expose the act When voices shake and systems bend That is where the fall begins REACT. FIGHT BACK. We refuse the fascist path [Outro – collapsing, whispered to scream] It never shouts at first… It smiles… it nods… it asks… (quiet) Will you let it pass…? (scream) OR WILL YOU FIGHT BACK.
