[INTRO – FUZZ-DRENCHED GUITAR RIFF, LOW AND DIRTY. DRUMS HIT WITH A STAGGERED GROOVE. BASS GRINDS BENEATH.] [VOCALS ENTER WITH A DARK, ALMOST WHISPERED TONE.] [VERSE 1] I see your hands behind your back While you sell me safety in a velvet trap Silver tongues and sirens cry “Give up your soul, and you'll never die” You say the sky is fallin’ in But it’s just your tower rustin’ from within Truth don’t bow to kings and crowns It buries ‘em deep in the blood-soaked ground [GUITAR RIFF SHIFTS INTO SLIGHTLY HIGHER OCTAVE. DRUMS KICK STEADIER. VOCALS GAIN STRENGTH.] [PRE-CHORUS] Your peace is just a prison cell Wrapped in gold and sold like help We were born to rise, not crawl But freedom bleeds when empires fall [CHORUS – FULL BAND KICKS IN. DISTORTION UP. VOCALS RAW AND STRAINED. BACKING VOCALS ADD HARMONY ON FINAL LINE.] [CHORUS] We trade our chains for peace, But the silence cuts too deep You can cage the flesh, not the flame Truth don’t die when they curse your name We pay the price, we stand alone But the cross was carved in stone [POST-CHORUS – INSTRUMENTAL RIFF, DRUMS DOUBLE-TIME. GUITAR SQUEALS BRIEFLY.] [VOCALS WHISPERED AGAIN, DARK AND LOW.] They call it order... But I see control. [VERSE 2] They preach of peace behind locked doors While they sharpen laws like hidden swords "Obey and live," that’s the decree But there’s no soul in that machine I saw the light break through the lies Like a thief who stole back paradise It don’t come cheap, the truth you feel It costs your comfort, cuts like steel [PRE-CHORUS REPEATS – GUITARS LAYERED, VOCALS MORE AGGRESSIVE.] [PRE-CHORUS] Your peace is just a prison cell Wrapped in gold and sold like help We were born to rise, not crawl But freedom bleeds when empires fall [CHORUS REPEATS – ADD BACKING VOCALS AND DRUM FILLS. STRONGER VOCAL PERFORMANCE.] [CHORUS] We trade our chains for peace, But the silence cuts too deep You can cage the flesh, not the flame Truth don’t die when they curse your name We pay the price, we stand alone But the cross was carved in stone [BRIDGE – STRIPPED TO GUITAR AND VOCALS. SLOW, BLEEDING VOCALS WITH DELAY. BASS DRONE UNDERNEATH.] [BRIDGE] You can bury me beneath your flags Feed the wolves in holy rags But I won’t kneel to kings of dust My chains break in a greater trust [BAND RE-ENTERS – POWERFUL RIFFS, DOUBLE KICK DRUMS. VOCALS SOAR.] [BRIDGE CONTINUES] We were never meant to sleep While they sell the world for keep If love is war, I’ll bear the cost For freedom found upon a cross [FINAL CHORUS – EVERYTHING HITS. VOCALS GRAVELLY AND SOARING. GUITARS SCREAM. BACKING VOCALS ECHO FINAL LINE.] [CHORUS] We trade our chains for peace, But the silence cuts too deep You can cage the flesh, not the flame Truth don’t die when they curse your name We pay the price, we stand alone But the cross was carved in stone [OUTRO – HEAVY SLOW GUITAR STRUMS FADE OUT. FINAL LINE SPOKEN SOFTLY.] (VOCALS - SPOKEN): You can keep your peace… I’ll take the war if it means I’m free.
