// BLACK LEDGER

[Intro 8bars industrial drones chain rattle distant siren radio scan youth choir whispers no drums] [Whispered youth choir] We were not made to be farmed We were not made for purchase We were not made to be silenced [Sample Section 8bars radio fragments glitch cuts tribunal tone] [Heard through static radio fragments] Documents withheld by design Names redacted Dates missing Pages sealed If the whole truth surfaced The system would convulse [Lead-in 1bar hard silence inhale] [Verse 1 12bars male aggressive metalcore lead rhythmic internal rhyme UK 2-step swing hats tight kick sparse chugs] I want the files unsealed, I want the lights turned on I want the velvet curtain ripped and every monster drawn Not folklore, not rumors, not memes, not haze Receipts on the table, the kind that doesn’t leave questions We’ve been fed distraction like a sacrament of sleep While the wolves write protective policy and the lambs get priced in meat Poison in the pantries, pressures in the rent Numbers rise like incense, and we call it “events” Different flags, same wallet, different smiles, same struggle They sell you fear in colors while they harvest what you feel And if you’re asking who profits from the fracture and the fight Follow the money through the dark, it always loves the night [Pre-Chorus 1 6bars female low then rising prophetic restrained] Don’t ignore or romanticize the rot Don’t turn horror into trend This is not a story, This is where the stories end!! Look at what we avoided, Look at what we let slide Evil doesn’t need your worship, it just needs you complacent [Build-up 8bars industrial snare ladder rising crowd breath no drop yet] Wake up, Stand up , Shout it, be heard! No more bullshit! No more distractions! No more blame games, its time for justice! [Drop 8bars dubstep impact hit bar 1 then half-time metal chugs] [Chorus 1 12bars both leads anthemic belts then scream accents] OPEN THE LEDGER LETS HAVE THE TRUTH!!! We are the witnesses We are the grief NO MORE PROTECTED SUITS NO MORE IMMUNITIES OR CLEMENCY If justice shakes the system Let it SHUDDER [Female scream accent] [Male scream accent] [Then both belt] We won’t be bought and raped!!! We won’t be FARMED and eaten!!! We won’t just get over it!!! [Interlude 6bars women choir dissonant cluster men choir distant chant youth choir single note] [Women choir] Mercy for the harmed [Men choir] Judgment for the evil [Youth choir] Protect the innocent women and children [Verse 2 12bars female lead sharp cadence industrial prog pulse with UK 2-step bounce] They pit us by design, keep the crowd misaligned Turn neighbors into targets so the architects can hide They call it politics, but it’s a theatre of knives Left hand, right hand, both hands on our lives Inflation like a scripture, taxes like a chain Food that numbs the body and mind, headlines that inflame Borders drawn for profit, war machine economy A coin with different faces, same teeth underneath And in the backrooms, quiet, the old rot circulates Not supernatural, not myth, just appetite and gates So don’t wait for Gods flood to wash the filth away The test is in the daylight, What will you do today?! [Pre-Chorus 2 6bars male then female call-and-response] [Male] If the truth breaks the frame!!! Good!!! [Female] If the house starts to shake Good [Male] If the idols fall down!!! Good [Female] Build a world where the hunted can finally feel safe [Lead-in 1bar full silence inhale] [Climax 16bars full choirs + orchestral + EDM lift + metalcore + industrial hits] [Refrain 12bars chantable crowd line 3x] [male choir] No more sealed rooms [WOMEN choir] No more golden doors [YOUTH choir] No more stolen childhoods [ALL choirs] BRING THE LIGHT BRING THE JUSTICE BRING THE ROPE OF CONSEQUENCE!!! The truth The evidence The sentencing!!!! [Break/Breakdown 8bars heaviest truth-room both leads harsh screams then belts] [Male scream] You can’t baptize corruption You can’t pray it clean [Female scream] You can’t call it “normal” When you’ve seen the truth!!! [Male belt] We want the names We want the chains of command [Female belt] We want the proof We want the guilty to stand [male and female] Not vengeance!!! Justice!!! Let the hidden collapse So the living can be free!!! [Outro 8bars choir air then cut to silence abrupt] [Youth choir] We remember [Women choir] We refuse [Men choir] We endure [All choirs] We are not asleep anymore! NOW IS THE TIME!!! [Fade out]
