V5.5

[Intro] [Distorted, heavy guitar riff] [Electronic alarm-like sounds] [Heavy drum fill] [Verse 1] Draw a line, build a wall, sharpen the blade Watch the foundation of brothers start to fade Left against Right, the Young against the Old In the comment sections, the hatred takes hold They throw a bone to the hungry, desperate crowd And we tear each other down, screaming out loud We fight over labels, over colors, over God While they watch from above with a cynical nod [Chorus] It’s the Great Divide, a crack in the floor They keep us distracted while they close the door Divide and conquer, the age-old routine If we’re fighting each other, we can’t stop the machine We’re looking sideways, we’re looking down But who’s the one wearing the invisible crown? [Verse 2] The media feeds the fire every single day Turning every neighbor into prey They sort us into boxes, tight and secure So the fever of anger remains without cure "Are you with us, or are you the foe?" There’s no middle ground where the truth can grow A people divided is no threat at all To the ones in the tower, standing so tall [Chorus] It’s the Great Divide, a crack in the floor They keep us distracted while they close the door Divide and conquer, the age-old routine If we’re fighting each other, we can’t stop the machine We’re looking sideways, we’re looking down But who’s the one wearing the invisible crown? [Instrumental Break] [Aggressive industrial synth solo, fast double-bass drumming, high energy] [Verse 3] Drop your weapons now, look into the light The ghost you are fighting is a trick of the sight It’s a manufactured rage, it’s a puppet’s dance To keep you from ever taking a stance Stop the splitting, start to reconnect It’s the only way to earn back your self-respect The real enemy doesn't have a screen name He writes the rules of this treacherous game [Bridge] [Slower, heavy, stomping rhythm] They want the war... (We want the peace!) They want the hate... (The fighting must cease!) Look up! Look up! [Instrumental Solo] [Blistering electric guitar solo, chaotic but resolving into a powerful unison riff] [Outro] [Music remains heavy but slows down significantly] Reach out your hand. Tear down the wall. Not divided. [Final heavy chord] [End]
