WE ARE THE WRECKING BALL

[Intro (spoken / distorted)] No prayers. No witnesses. No rebuilding. Only dust. [Verse 1] We walk through the ruins of your truth Names carved in stone, but none of them prove You built your world on borrowed bones Now watch it fall — this is ours to own Your words were knives in open air Now every echo dies in here We don’t remember, we erase We don’t forgive, we leave no trace [Pre-Chorus] You wanted war inside my head Now I kill the lies you said [Chorus (Shouted / Screamed)] WE ARE THE WRECKING BALL WE DON’T LEAVE ANYTHING ALIVE WE ARE THE WRECKING BALL TURN YOUR EMPIRE INTO ASH AND SILENCE NO MERCY LEFT — NO HOLY GROUND WE TEAR YOUR HEAVEN TO THE GROUND WE ARE THE WRECKING BALL NOTHING. LEFT. TO. SAVE. [Verse 2] We choke on memories, spit out your name Burn every bridge, salt every flame Your version of me dies right here No ghosts survive, no past is clear We don’t repair what was a lie We don’t look back — we watch it die Every story you twisted wrong We crush it into noise and song [Pre-Chorus] You built a crown out of my scars Now watch me tear apart the stars [Chorus] WE ARE THE WRECKING BALL WE DON’T LEAVE ANYTHING ALIVE WE ARE THE WRECKING BALL TURN YOUR EMPIRE INTO ASH AND SILENCE NO MERCY LEFT — NO HOLY GROUND WE TEAR YOUR HEAVEN TO THE GROUND WE ARE THE WRECKING BALL NOTHING. LEFT. TO. SAVE. [Breakdown (call & response / gang shouts)] BURN THE LIES BURN THE PAST BURN THE NAME MAKE IT LAST TEAR IT DOWN TEAR IT CLEAN KILL THE GHOST IN BETWEEN [Bridge (half-time, massive, dark)] No graves — only dust No gods — only rust No “we” — only me No chains — I am free You wanted me small You wanted me weak Now watch me become What you couldn’t break [Final Chorus (double length, biggest wall of sound)] WE ARE THE WRECKING BALL WE DON’T LEAVE ANYTHING ALIVE WE ARE THE WRECKING BALL TURN YOUR EMPIRE INTO ASH AND SILENCE NO MERCY LEFT — NO HOLY GROUND WE TEAR YOUR HEAVEN TO THE GROUND WE ARE THE WRECKING BALL NOTHING LEFT — NOTHING LEFT — NOTHING LEFT TO SAVE [Outro (spoken, distorted, over noise)] No rebuilding. No forgiveness. Only silence Where you used to live.
