Ramos) 2026 [Intro] [distorted electric guitar riff with syncopated rhythm] [drums enter with heavy crash and driving kick] [Verse 1] [gritty male vocals] Promises broken on the muddy floor You move the goalposts just a little more I'm gasping for air [bass guitar follows guitar riff] [Pre-Chorus] [guitars switch to sustained power chords] Why change the scale? Another rate race, another way to fail [Chorus] [full band intensity increases] You keep changing the game Betrayal at hand You keep changing the game Leave the wreckage behind Changing the game Just another lie to bury me down [Verse 2] [palm-muted guitar rhythm] Your hands are dirty, your words are grease Selling wars and calling them peace I trusted the oath, I swallowed the hook Now you're tearing pages from your own book [Chorus] [driving drums and distorted bass] You keep changing the game Betrayal at hand You keep changing the game Burn the lies on the trail Changing the game Excuses to keep me in place [Bridge] [half-time feel, bass-driven section] Black ink leaking through the contract Watching the ceiling get ready to fall You smile at the lens and lie to my face I get tricked again while you laugh it off [Chorus] [high energy, double-kick drums] You keep changing the game Betrayal at hand You keep changing the game Leave the corpses derailed Changing the game Excuses for getting ahead Everything gets paid in the end [Guitar Solo] [fast alternate picking, wah-wah pedal effect, melodic bends] [Outro] [guitar riff fades out with feedback] [final drum hit]
