“Call It What It Is”

Lyrics By: J.G.Argo ©2026 INTRO (Low Gregorian chant, sparse toms, subtle bass) CHOIR: Cor ad verum… cor ad verum… (Heart to truth… heart to truth…) (Deep bass drop kicks in at 0:15, leading into verse) VERSE 1 I followed every rule they made Walked the lines they said were safe Promised love, delivered fear Whispered shame into my ear (Add subtle guitar textures, light percussion build) PRE-CHORUS If your faith breeds enemies If your god demands your chains If love comes with conditions It’s not divine—it’s a game (Build drum roll → transition to explosive chorus) CHORUS – THE HIT HOOK ALL / GROUP CHANT (layered, anthem-style): If it teaches you to judge If it teaches you to hate If it turns your heart to stone Call it what it is— CALL IT WHAT IT IS! LEAD (over chant, powerful): That’s not love— That’s control That’s not freedom— That’s a cult (Massive drum hit + guitar chord slam on final line) VERSE 2 I’ve seen the scars they call devotion Prayers twisted into intimidation Lines drawn with blood and lies Faith weaponized in holy disguise (Layer in subtle chanting echoes behind vocals for tension) PRE-CHORUS 2 Truth doesn’t need a cage Love doesn’t need a sword No deity demands You erase your own accord CHORUS 2 ALL / CHANT: If it teaches you to judge If it teaches you to hate If obedience matters more Than the lives it breaks Call it what it is— CALL IT WHAT IT IS! (Double drum & guitar power hits for festival/arena energy) BRIDGE – SHAMANIC BREAKDOWN (Throat singing + slow tom pulse, guitars drop out for focus) LEAD (spoken): Before temples, before thrones Before fear became a throne We knew love— It had no gatekeepers It had no threats It had no chains GROUP (echoing): We remember… we remember… we remember… FINAL CHORUS – ANTHEM ENERGY ALL (chant + lead intertwined, full stadium vibe): If it teaches you to judge If it teaches you to hate If it makes you feel righteous While it annihilates LEAD: Your conscience… Your heart… Your humanity… ALL (final punch): WALK AWAY! CALL IT WHAT IT IS! OUTRO (Choir fades softly with tom heartbeat, lingering bass, Gregorian fade) Cor liberum… cor vivum… (A free heart… a living heart…) (Final deep drum hit. Silence.)
