Verse 1: July heat in Virginia, bourbon’s burnin’ slow, Shadows in the garden where the dealin’ flows. Power’s passin’ hands like a secret in the dark, They’re buildin’ up an empire with a cold, black heart. Pre-Chorus: Oh, you don’t say sorry, don’t back down, You twist the truth, you own this town. Ain’t no mercy, ain’t no shame, Just a devil’s deal wrapped up in a name. Chorus: “Attack, attack, attack,” he says, “Admit nothin’, deny ‘til death.” “No matter what, claim victory, And never let ‘em see you sweat.” Oh, they raise their glasses, toast to the lies, In a house where the truth comes to wither and die. Verse 2: Roy leans in, with a predator’s smile, Teachin’ young Roger how to play it vile. “You gotta do anything to win this fight, Even if it drags your soul through the dead of night.” Pre-Chorus: Oh, you don’t say sorry, don’t back down, You twist the truth, you own this town. Ain’t no mercy, ain’t no shame, Just a devil’s deal wrapped up in a name. Chorus: “Attack, attack, attack,” he says, “Admit nothin’, deny ‘til death.” “No matter what, claim victory, And never let ‘em see you sweat.” Oh, they raise their glasses, toast to the lies, In a house where the truth comes to wither and die. Bridge: The past don’t forget, and the dead don’t sleep, They’re watchin’ the ones who sow what they reap. Blood on the pages, sins in the stone, The house of ambition will crumble alone. Outro: There’s a house in Virginia where the fire burns cold, Where the stories are bought and the futures are sold. And if you listen close when the night winds wail, You’ll hear the ghosts laughin’… ‘Cause power don’t fail. 🎶 [Final eerie slide guitar fade-out…]
