[Intro] [Verse 1] Ten years of grift, ten years of the lie While the smoke from the border starts to blacken the sky You traded the peace for a seat on the throne Building a kingdom of cold, jagged stone Case one-thousand, two-thousand, and four The bribes and the champagne, we can’t take anymore! "Mr. Security" was a cardboard facade While you played at being a vengeful god! [Verse 2] You bought the media, you sold out the street While the blood of the innocent pools at your feet A judicial coup just to stay out of jail While the scales of justice start to flicker and fail You divide the people, you feed 'em the hate While you gamble the lives of a whole damn state Pink cigars and a briefcase of greed While the families are buried for the things that you need! [Chorus] Oh, Bibi, you’re the King of Ash and the Prince of Decay! There’s a debt at the door that you’re gonna have to pay! You’re a murderer in a suit, a ghost in the hall Writing your name on a graveyard wall! The corruption is rotting, the verdict is in There isn’t enough water to wash off the sin! [Verse 3] The butcher of Hope, the architect of grief A common criminal posing as a Chief You looked the other way while the wolves came to call Just to stay in the office, just to stay in the hall Now the children are screaming in the rubble and dust While you're clinging to power in a vacuum of trust You’re a piece of shit on a gold-plated chair While the scent of the burning is thick in the air! (shouted) [Verse 4] Fuck your excuses! Fuck your "Defense"! You’re building a fortune at the people’s expense How many bodies do you need for the pile? How many deaths to maintain that smug smile? You’re a coward in a bunker, a snake in the grass Waiting for the "National Emergency" to pass But the world is watching, and the world is awake And your legacy’s a hole that you’re never gonna escape! [Bridge] LIAR! (Drum hit) FRAUD! (Drum hit) MANTLE OF THE BLOOD! You didn't protect them! You just protected yourself! You’re a stain on the history! You’re a ghost on the shelf! (screamed) RESIGN! King of Ash... (stomp) King of Ash... (stomp) (shouted) THE JIG IS UP! [Final Chorus] [Maximum Volume - Explosive Finish] Oh, Bibi, you’re the King of Ash and the Prince of Decay! There’s a debt at the door that you’re gonna have to pay! You’re a murderer in a suit, a ghost in the hall Writing your name on a graveyard wall! No more secrets! (belted) No more lies! (belted) We see the "Hero" through a dead man’s eyes! [Outro] The verdict is in! (echo) Analog Venom! Static Youth! (spat out) Get out of the chair. (whispered) It’s all fake. [End: A final, slamming drum hit followed by the sound of a jail cell door clanging shut]
