Lyrics By: J.G. Argo ©2026 Intro (Whispered / Ritual) (Breath, low drum pulse, radio static) Fear… Fear is the leash. Fear is the language. Fear is the god they pray to. Hook / Chorus (CHANT — Crowd + Lead) They sell fear — that’s the currency Blood on the screen, turn pain into urgency Pray for control, vote for emergency Scared people buy — that’s the urgency They sell fear — that’s the policy Hell in a sermon, war in the policy Turn your neighbor into an enemy Fear is the god in this economy Verse 1 — Religion (Fear = Control) Built a system on invisible threats Pay your tithe or your soul’s in debt Promise paradise after death Keep you scared so you never step Original sin, original chain Born broken just to sell you the name Hellfire sermons, trauma disguised Call it salvation, monetize shame If fear disappears, faith loses grip So terror stays baked in every script Keep you small, keep you asking for mercy While the altar counts every cent that you give Chorus Verse 2 — Politics (Divide & Rule) Red vs blue, keep the people split If you’re scared, you won’t question shit Enemies near, invasion talk Fear votes faster than reason walks Crisis declared, powers expand Freedom erased with a safety command Emergency rules never really expire Once fear’s in charge, it feeds the fire Keep you arguing left and right While the top stays out of sight Scared people beg for a savior face That’s how fear becomes political weight Chorus Verse 3 — Media (Outrage Economy) If it bleeds, it leads — that’s the code Terror on loop in your overload Clickbait panic, headline fear Profit off trauma year after year Algorithm knows what shakes your core Feeds you danger to keep you wanting more Not news — it’s emotional war Keep you addicted to the panic score Fear keeps eyes on the screen all day Truth gets buried, drama gets paid Scared minds don’t slow down to think They react, repost, and fall in sync Chorus Verse 4 — COVID / Mass Panic (REAL WORLD PROOF) Remember lockdown, empty aisles in the store Toilet paper riots, fear at the door Tape on the floor, six feet apart Neighbors turned threats just for breathing too hard Daily death counts running on repeat Ticker-tape terror while you sit in your seat Screens screamed danger from morning to night Panic went viral faster than insight Small shops closed, giants stayed fed Billionaires up while the workers bled Curfews, shutdowns, emergency rule Fear gave power every time we complied with the tool Not saying virus wasn’t real — hear me clear I’m saying fear was weaponized here Crisis became a control device When panic decides, freedom pays the price Call & Response Chant (TRIBAL BREAK) Who got rich? — They did! Who got shut down? — We did! Who made the rules? — They did! Who paid the cost? — We did! Bridge — Shamanic Ritual Fear is the leash Fear is the key Fear is the god They worship the scream Calm is rebellion Truth is the threat If you’re not scared You can see through the net Final Chorus (FULL POWER) They sell fear — that’s the currency Blood on the screen, turn pain into urgency Pray for control, vote for emergency Scared people buy — that’s the urgency They sell fear — that’s the policy Hell in a sermon, war in the policy Turn your neighbor into an enemy Fear is the god in this economy Outro (Mic Drop) They don’t rule you with chains anymore. They rule you with stories of what to fear. The moment you stop being afraid… Is the moment their system starts to disappear.
