[Intro] (low distorted bass throb) (dissonant steel-string scrapes) [Verse 1] (clenched-teeth menace, restrained baritone) Simple blueprints traced inside our minds Clear divides between the flawed and right Rules we practiced, boundaries clearly drawn Now discarded, scattered, burned and gone Step outside the door and face the crowd Where the twisted doctrine barks out loud Common reason pushed beneath the floor While the fevered minds control the door [Pre-Chorus] (rising raspy bite, driving pulse) Selling venom, stamping it as pure Praising symptoms while they curse the cure Watch the flock surrender to the sway Trading every fact just to obey [Chorus] (explosive raspy belt, massive layered guitars) Where did all the bedrock go? Drowned out in the noise! Trading fundamental truth for an empty voice! If the whole collective slips into the deep decline Tell me why the broken world claims the fault is mine? Blind conviction takes the crown, tearing down the light! Living in a fever dream, sleeping through the blight! [Verse 2] (syncopated, percussive cadence) Trophy banners hung on rotten wood Preaching sickness disguised as good Logic shattered into brittle sand Spread like gospel through a willing land Told to silence what our eyes can see Bend the frame to fit the heresy [Pre-Chorus] (escalating aggression, gang accents) Selling venom, stamping it as pure Praising symptoms while they curse the cure Watch the flock surrender to the sway Trading every fact just to obey [Chorus] (explosive raspy belt, full blast intensity) Where did all the bedrock go? Drowned out in the noise! Trading fundamental truth for an empty voice! If the whole collective slips into the deep decline Tell me why the broken world claims the fault is mine? Blind conviction takes the crown, tearing down the light! Living in a fever dream, sleeping through the blight! [Bridge] (barked, rhythmic delivery) Swallow down the doctrine! Kneel before the trend! Praise the hollow idol! Follow to the end! (escalating fry-scream) I REFUSE THE SIREN CALL! I WILL NOT ENDORSE THE FALL! [Chorus] (maximum vocal tear, layered gang shouts) Where did all the bedrock go? Drowned out in the noise! Trading fundamental truth for an empty voice! If the whole collective slips into the deep decline Tell me why the broken world claims the fault is mine? Blind conviction takes the crown, tearing down the light! Living in a fever dream, sleeping through the blight! [Outro] (eerie harmonics ringing out) (whispered baritone) When the madmen run the state... Sanity becomes the threat they hate. (abrupt cutoff)
