[Verse 1] Fourteen faces on a fading wall Only eleven lines to draw Tiny cross like a loaded stone Who gets the house Who gets the throne Maps on screens with a trembling hand Lines of red bleeding into land “Just one vote” like it means so small Till the sum starts shaking the hall [Chorus] Majority gives power to the force Push a nation down a single course Hard times They’re begging for a guide Careful who you let inside When the many lean into one voice That’s the danger buried in the choice You think you’re choosing comfort in the storm You might be feeding something dark and warm (hey) [Verse 2] Left Right Shouting in the square Every promise hanging in the air Easy answers wrapped in flag designs Hungry eyes reading between the lines You say “I’m tired Let the rest decide” Skip the booth Stay home Stay quiet But silence stacks in a rising wave Every absent hand still helps them pave [Chorus] Majority gives power to the force Push a nation down a single course Hard times They’re begging for a guide Careful who you let inside When the many lean into one voice That’s the danger buried in the choice You think you’re choosing comfort in the storm You might be feeding something dark and warm [Bridge] Border’s close Drums at the door History breathing “I’ve seen this before” Soft little “yes” in a fearful room Can turn to a march in heavy boots soon Fourteen names You’re not on the sheet Still your step echoes in the street If you don’t speak They’ll speak for you (oh) And say the quiet things as truth [Chorus] Majority gives power to the force Push a nation down a single course Hard times They’re begging for a guide Careful who you let inside When the many lean into one voice That’s the danger buried in the choice Look out when you raise someone so high They might forget who put them in the sky
