[Titel: Criminal Kings] [Intro] Once they said, "We serve the people." Now the doors are locked. The cameras watch. And every promise has a price. [Verse 1] I remember days when trust meant something. When a leader had to answer for the things he'd done. Now they stand behind their speeches, smiling while the damage keeps moving on. They call it order. They call it law. But every year we see a little more of what they really are. [Pre-Chorus 1] Who protects the people when the rulers protect themselves? Who judges the kings when the kings write the rules? [Chorus 1] Criminal kings. Dressed like citizens. Standing above us while pretending they live within. Criminal kings. Polished hands. Empty eyes. If power makes the law, then crime can wear a tie. [Verse 2] Darkness grows when nothing has a cost. One man falls. Another name gets quietly lost. They speak of justice, then excuse their own. And every broken promise builds another throne. The people fear. The leaders smile. And every little scandal disappears after a while. [Pre-Chorus 2] No punishment for those above. No mercy for the ones below. A system bends when power decides which way the truth should go. [Chorus 2] Criminal kings. Dressed like citizens. Standing above us while pretending they live within. Criminal kings. Polished hands. Empty eyes. If power makes the law, then crime can wear a tie. [Bridge] A weapon is a weapon. A lie is still a lie. A death is still a death no matter who decides. If the poor man breaks the law, they lock him in a cage. But when the powerful destroy a life, they call it "another page." [Last Chorus] Criminal kings. Your crowns are getting thin. You cannot hide forever behind the walls you built within. Criminal kings. The people still remember. Every lie. Every name. Every promise burned to ember. [Outro] You said: "We serve the people." But somewhere along the way the servant became the master. And the master forgot who put him there.
