Martial Lies

[Intro – Dark cello, husky breaths] (Husky breath) Yeah… open your eyes False salvation, shadows of violence… This is just the beginning [Verse 1] Greed for power, drunk on gold Selling lies as hope, while the world stays cold Racism walls us off, divide and control War is promoted, they tighten the hold Martial law looming, cities hold their breath False slogans echo, truth faces death News is twisted, facts get erased We gotta shout, no to war, no to hate (Bridge – husky breath, low tone) Breathe in, but freedom’s gone Someone’s game, we’re puppets all along [Chorus] False salvation, I don’t buy it Hands of power, they try to tie it War and violence, we say NO We’re screaming loud, here and now [Verse 2] People threatened, fear is sold Martial law pending, democracy on hold Media silent, truth’s concealed Our cries hit walls, but we won’t yield Violence rehearsed, gunfire normal Political theater, actors formal We don’t laugh, eyes wide open Shout the truth till corruption’s broken (Bridge – bright xylophone) False hope may shine But we see the shadow behind [Verse 3 – Anger emphasized] Trump’s shadow, drunk on power People sacrificed, chained to a fake tower False salvation, racism, war propaganda We say NO, NO, NO, we won’t follow Violence NO, martial law NO, war NO Raise your voice, husky breath, let it flow Society corrupt, fear spreads fast We’ll fight till truth remains, and lies won’t last [Chorus Repeat] False salvation, I don’t buy it Hands of power, they try to tie it War and violence, we say NO We’re screaming loud, here and now [Outro – cello, husky breaths, ad-libs] Don’t hold your breath, shout it out No to violence, no to war Break the lies, destroy the deceit We’re awake…
