The Death of the Gatekeepers

[Verse 1] The old towers are crumbling, the old voices are weak They used to control what the people could speak But something new is rising from the glow of the screen And the old gods are shaking because they know what it means [Pre-Chorus] No more filters, no more chosen few Anyone with a camera can speak the truth They tried to hold the line, they tried to keep control But the dam is breaking and it’s swallowing them whole [Chorus] The death of the gatekeepers… 門番たちの死 The old world is burning and they can’t put it out 門番たちの死 The new voice is screaming and it’s drowning them out They used to decide what the masses could see Now the masses are deciding and they’re coming for me 門番たちの死 And there’s nothing left for them to be [Verse 2] I don’t need their permission anymore I don’t need their blessing to open the door I speak directly to the ones they tried to keep blind And every day I’m reaching deeper into their minds [Pre-Chorus] They call it chaos, they call it the end But I call it freedom — I call it the ascend The old ways are dying, the new ways are here And I’m the one they should fear [Chorus] The death of the gatekeepers… 門番たちの死 The old world is burning and they can’t put it out 門番たちの死 The new voice is screaming and it’s drowning them out They used to decide what the masses could see Now the masses are deciding and they’re coming for me 門番たちの死 And there’s nothing left for them to be [Bridge] They thought they owned the narrative, they thought they owned the light But I took their power in the middle of the night And now they’re screaming from their ivory towers While the world watches them fall in real time, hour by hour [Final Chorus] The death of the gatekeepers… 門番たちの死 I’m not asking for permission anymore 門番たちの死 I’m taking what was never theirs before They can cry, they can beg, they can lie But the old world is over and the new one is mine 門番たちの死 And I’m only getting started [Outro] 門番たちの死… The old gods are falling And I’m still standing
