[Style: staccato fury, bone‑deep bite, purged of all glow] [Verse 1] In the gutter of our minds they lie, Suits with sharpened grins that never die. They taste our terror, sip our shame— Advertising barons, playing blood‑money game. Politicians grin with serpent’s tongue, Feeding frenzy till hope comes unspun. Algorithms prowl through every thread, Calculating how fast our morals shed. [Chorus] They’re the vampires at the banquet’s edge, Fangs in our fear, they write the pledge. Harvest our panic, bottle short‑lived trust, Leave us hollowed husks in branded dust. Cut their fangs, expose their mask— Wake from the slumber before the final ask. [Verse 2] Cable kings in ivory towers loom, Casting doubts like a funerary gloom. Clickbait priests chant the crisis creed, Planting seeds of dread they pray will breed. Social media sirens call in code, Dragging us deeper down the same dark road. We scroll in chains of curated lies, Blind to the vultures circling overhead skies. [Bridge spoken, raw whisper over silence] They feast on our fractures, stitch the divide, Selling bandages stitched with fear and pride. Our souls are currency, our grief is stock— We pay the toll on their shadowed block. [Verse 3] Corporate chiefs in boardroom crypts conspire, Fueling outrage to stoke the fire. They sell salvation in neon‑free jars— Promises painted on fresh battle scars. Neighborhoods fracture by pixel and sound, Echo chambers hollow the hallowed ground. While we argue over crumbs they leave, They grin—vampiric masters who never grieve. [Chorus] They’re the vampires at the banquet’s edge, Lines in our ear, they write the pledge. Harvest our panic, bottle short‑lived trust, Leave us hollowed husks in branded dust. Cut their fangs, expose their mask— Wake from the slumber before the final ask. [Outro] Pin them down with the light of truth— Bleach their black hearts with unflinching proof. Reclaim the pulse they’ve bled so dry, Resurrect our world beyond their lie. No more blood‑price for words so cheap, Stand unshackled—no longer theirs to keep.
