(Intro) [Instrumental: Cold synth hum, distant police radio chatter, a short siren swell. Then a heavy, mechanical beat drops with metallic hits. Distorted news sample:] “…classified as an extremist… a potential threat to public order…” (Verse 1) [Vocal: Rhythmic, near-spoken, controlled anger] The letter came at noon, no knock upon the door, An emblem at the header I’ve not seen before. Section this and section that, accusations vague, My name reduced to case file, wrapped in legal plague. They call me “destabilizing,” “hostile to the peace,” My words are now considered something that must cease. A number on a list, flagged in red and black, I watch my own identity fade into their stack. (Pre-Chorus) [Vocal: A bit more melodic, tension rising] Doors are closing, windows sealed, My life rebranded as a battlefield. To them I’m not a person, just a glitch they must erase, A faulty line of code, an error in their database. (Chorus) [Vocal: Shouted, distorted, over big guitars and synths] I’m the ENEMY OF THE STATE – on your register in red! ENEMY OF THE STATE – you’d rather see me dead! You build your walls, but I can see them shake, You want to break me, but it’s you who’s bound to break! ENEMY OF THE STATE – that’s what you call me now, Because my truth won’t fit the lies you all allow! (Verse 2) [Vocal: Rhythmic, colder] Unknown calls at midnight, numbers blocked and blank, Anonymous “concerned reports” keep filling up the tank. Each neighbor is a sensor, each stranger could be wired, This quiet inquisition is meticulously hired. They tap my lines, they trace my steps, they map my every move, They think they cage my body and my spirit will approve. But all this pressure only makes the cracks in them appear, A system this afraid has something real to fear. (Instrumental Interlude) [Instrumental: Short sequence of siren whoops, radio beeps, then a grinding guitar riff and stuttered synth line, like a hunt in progress.] (Bridge) [Vocal: Spoken, over mostly drums + low synth] You can burn the books, you can flag the posts, you can raid the homes and invent new ghosts. You can lock my body in your iron cage… But my thought, my idea – you can’t erase that page. [Vocal: Shouted] I WILL NOT DISAPPEAR! (Guitar/Synth Break) [Instrumental: Aggressive riff with syncopated industrial synths, very mechanical and tight.] (Chorus) [Vocal: Full power, layered] I’m the ENEMY OF THE STATE – on your register in red! ENEMY OF THE STATE – you’d rather see me dead! You build your walls, but I can see them shake, You want to break me, but it’s you who’s bound to break! ENEMY OF THE STATE – that’s what you call me now, Because my truth won’t fit the lies you all allow! (Outro) [Instrumental: Beat continues, gradually filtered down. A synthetic voice:] “Subject: classified. Surveillance: ongoing. Risk: unresolved.” [Everything cuts to silence on a final, low guitar stab.]
