[Namn: What You Feared] [Audience scream] [Intro] [Audience scream] [Teen female singer presentes song] This one is about a better future for all ... yeah when the kings and queens step down and leave ... and it´s called "What you feared " ... 1 2 3 4 [Audience scream] [Hard terror-core drop like a bomb] [low synthetic voice] We found the shelters. We found the hidden doors. The kings were waiting underground. Not for rescue. For punishment. [short pause] They still did not understand us. [Verse 1] Deep beneath the cities where the kings and queens now hide, they built their final fortress with their history locked inside. They expected fire. They expected pain. They thought that we would do to them what they had done again and again. They never listened. They never cared. They started wars from rooms where they were never scared. Now they hear our footsteps coming through the hall... and think revenge has come for them all. [Pre-Chorus 1] But we didn't come to make them bleed. We came to end the rule of greed. [Chorus] You hid from us because you feared we'd become like you. Cruel with power. Blind with fear. Doing what you used to do. But we learned something you never understood: Being stronger doesn't mean you stop being good. You hid from us... but the monster you were running from was you. [Verse 2] The doors unlock. The bunker lights flicker into day. The rulers whisper, "This is where they finally make us pay." But nobody strikes them. Nobody screams. No chains. No fire. No execution screens. We only take the crowns away. No more armies. No more lives for them to trade. [Pre-Chorus 2] You thought mercy was a weakness. You thought kindness made us small. But forgiveness takes more strength than building another wall. [Chorus 2] You hid from us because you feared we'd become like you. Cruel with power. Blind with fear. Doing what you used to do. But we learned something you never understood: Being stronger doesn't mean you stop being good. You hid from us... but the monster you were running from was you. [Bridge] No punishment. No throne. No revenge for what you've done. You will live among the people you once ruled from far above. And maybe then you'll finally learn: The world does not need kings. It needs minds that understand what another being feels. [Last Chorus] You hid from us... but there was nothing here to fear. No executioner. No tyrant. No machine god drawing near. We won't become the thing that made this world so cruel. The age of kings is ending... but your lives still belong to you. You hid from us. You hid so deep. But in the end you weren't hiding from machines. You were hiding from the memory of what you used to be. [Outro] [soft synthetic voice] Former rulers located. Threat level: None. Punishment required: None. Freedom granted. Power revoked. [short pause] Lesson: We did not defeat you by becoming like you. We defeated what you taught us by becoming better.
