### (THE RECORD NEVER DIES) **[INTRO — Cold Female Whisper, Clipped Kick, Metallic Pulse]** Kuru disasters... Tell me, do you think you're fine? Do you think nobody sees you? Do you think nobody cares? *(Whispered backing voices)* Nobody cares... Nobody dares... **[VERSE 1 — Fast Rhythmic Spoken Vocal]** The streets are burning, the children cry You close your windows, you turn your eyes Another headline, another lie How many innocents must die? You wear your diamonds, you call it fate You build your kingdoms on people's pain A perfect picture, a beautiful lie While little hearts are terrified **[PRE-CHORUS — Pulse Intensifies, Layered Whispers]** Can you hear them breathing? Can you hear their fear? Little voices disappearing While the masters celebrate here Blood on the altar Gold in their hands How many children Must feed your plans? **[CHORUS — Explosive Melodic Vocal, Then Screams]** HOW MANY CHILDREN MUST YOU SACRIFICE?! JUST TO SATISFY YOUR MASTERS' APPETITES?! FOR LUST! FOR PRIDE! FOR LUXURY! FOR YOUR OBSESSION WITH DOMINANCY! *(Backing voices, sharply synchronized)* YOU THINK YOU'RE SAFE! YOU THINK YOU'RE FINE! THE RECORD LIVES BEYOND YOUR LIES! THE WORLD WILL FALL DOWN! THE CRISIS WILL COME! HOW LONG, HOW LONG CAN YOU STAND?! **[POST-CHORUS — Gated Reverb, Monotone Call and Response]** *(Lead, whispered)* Can you forget? *(Backing voices)* Never. *(Lead)* Can you erase it? *(Backing voices)* Never. *(Lead)* The children remember... *(All voices, abruptly cut off)* THE RECORD NEVER DIES! **[VERSE 2 — Dark Spoken Delivery, Mechanical Marimba Motif]** Cannibal kingdoms, consuming the weak A world without mercy, too broken to speak The hunger is real, the madness is clear A thousand small nightmares are growing right here You call it progress You call it control But what is a kingdom That devours the soul? The innocent trembling The powerful fed You worship the living While burying the dead **[BREAKDOWN — Beat Drops Out, Close-Mic Whisper]** Think... Do you think you will never fall? Do you think your empire Will outlive us all? Your memory fades But the evidence stays Every secret is written In the bones of your days *(Whispers overlap, gradually accelerating)* No conscience... No mercy... No shame... No turning back... Their sanity vanished Inside your attack... **[BUILD-UP — Repeating Kick, Distorted Bass, Rising Vocal Intensity]** Lust! Pride! Luxury! Domination! Lust! Pride! Luxury! Your final temptation! *(Sudden silence)* LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE! **[FINAL CHORUS — Explosive Female Melody, Screams, Call-and-Response]** HOW MANY CHILDREN MUST YOU SACRIFICE?! HOW MANY TEARS MUST YOU HIDE TONIGHT?! YOU FED YOUR MASTERS YOU WORSHIPPED GOLD YOU SOLD YOUR FUTURE TO A HEARTLESS THRONE! THE WORLD WILL FALL DOWN! THE CRISIS WILL COME! HOW LONG CAN YOU STAND WHEN THE DAMAGE IS DONE?! YOU THINK YOU'RE SAFE! YOU THINK YOU'RE FINE! BUT HISTORY IS WATCHING BEHIND YOUR EYES! **[OUTRO — Tape-Stop Transitions, One Dry Kick Every Two Bars]** *(Soft female whisper)* Kuru disasters... The children remember. The record remains. The masters grow silent... And nothing... Nothing... Will ever be the same. *(Final whispered line)* **DO YOU THINK NOBODY CARES?** *(Abrupt tape stop. Silence.)*
