Recycling Theater -- [Progressive Epic Power Metal]
[Intro: Dual harmonized distorted electric guitars, rapid double-kick drumming, palm-muted gallop rhythm on rhythm guitar] (Instrumental) [Verse 1: Clean, melodic vocals with double bass drums and gallop rhythm] I sort my garbage with careful hands, A dance of paper, plastic, and glass. The streets are filled with signs that preach, But the trash piles higher, and it's all a charade. You tell us to recycle, Save the planet in your name, But every bag in the landfill Echoes your hypocrisy and blame. [Pre-Chorus: Emotional, atmospheric melody leading into the chorus] They speak of greens and forests lush, While factories chug their toxic smoke. We're trapped in a performance act, A ritual empty, a meaningless joke. [Chorus: Loud, anthemic power metal vocals with dual lead guitars] RECYCLING THEATER! Where the truth is just a show! The landfills cry in the mirror, Our rituals don’t slow the flow! Your guilt and blame are just our sin, And your recycling theater! The planet burns, and we’re left in, Recycling theater! [Verse 2: Heavy riffs, harsh vocals, and double bass drumming] Plastic bags, your single-use sin! WE CAN’T DROWN OUT YOUR MURDER TUNE. The oceans choke and forests burn, Your plastic bags and toxic plumes. You sell us dreams of green tomorrow, But the pipes spew black in the sky. Your greenwashing is a broken vow, As our planet screams and we die! [Bridge: Technical guitar arpeggios and atmospheric synths] The corporations hide in plain sight, While we shuffle papers and bottles. We’re left to feel the guilt and shame, For the mess we didn’t create. From sea to shore, the earth we bore, Is lost in a corporate web we hate. [Solo Section: High-speed alternate picking, legato runs, powerful guitar solos] [Chorus: Loud, anthemic power metal vocals with dual lead guitars] RECYCLING THEATER! Where the truth is just a ruse! In landfills deep and oceans wide, Our rituals don’t hide the abuse! Your profit’s poison in your hands, And recycling theater! Our planet drowns, and we’re in the, Recycling theater! The corporate crime is a cover-up, And your recycling theater! [Outro: Sustained power chord, final drum fill, cymbal choke] (Instrumental)
