Lyrics

[Intro - spoken/gritty]
Yo!
Turn the lights out...
Wake the dead!


---

[Verse 1 - rap flow]
Sick of the noise, sick of the cries,
Everyone's fake with their paper-thin lies.
Preachin' their truth while they sell their hate,
Marchin' for clout just to compensate.
Bow down? Nah, I ain’t the one,
I light that match, watch it come undone.
Fake outrage, fake campaigns,
Slam it all down, break the chains!


---

[Pre-Chorus - build up]
You scream so loud, but you say nothin',
You build your walls, but I'm still comin'!


---

[Chorus - shouted loud]
WAKE THE DEAD!
Tear it up, rip the thread!
No more lies inside my head!
WAKE THE DEAD!
Smash the script, kill the dread!
Burn the flags of the woke instead!


---

[Verse 2 - rap faster]
Cry more, shout more, ain't gonna stick,
Playin' the victim don't make you slick.
Sold your soul for a click and a trend,
Now the show’s over, this is the end.
Talk that talk, but your castle's glass,
One stone throw and I'll watch it crash.


---

[Pre-Chorus - repeat harder]
You scream so loud, but you say nothin',
You build your walls, but I'm still comin'!


---

[Chorus - even bigger]
WAKE THE DEAD!
Tear it up, rip the thread!
No more lies inside my head!
WAKE THE DEAD!
Smash the script, kill the dread!
Burn the flags of the woke instead!


---

[Bridge - slow, heavy bass]
Fake kings fall, fake crowns break,
No more fear, no more fake.
Tear down walls, break these chains,
Time to wash away the shame!


---

[Final Chorus - explode it!]
WAKE THE DEAD!
Tear it up, rip the thread!
No more lies inside my head!
WAKE THE DEAD!
Smash the script, kill the dread!
Burn the flags of the woke instead!


---

[Outro - whispered]
Wake the dead...
Wake the dead...
