Wake the Dead

Are you tired of this? The world walking over us. Over and over and over again. People divided. Wars still killing. Children still dying for someone else's agenda. And we just... watch. We scroll. We argue about nothing while everything burns.
Why are we all sleepwalking?
Rise Up.

Democracies...
dressed up as chains
Greed...
wearing capitalism's face
Power...
hungry wolves in tailored lies
While children pay the price of their games
Borders...
drawn in someone else's blood
Flags...
waved by hands that never fought
Leaders...
selling freedom by the pound
While mothers bury what wars seek

I've seen this throne before
Different face, same crown
I've watched this empire burn
And still they never learn
How many times must the innocent fall
Before the sleeping finally hear the call

Wake the dead
They already know
Wake the dead
They paid for this show
Rise up, rise up
The pattern doesn't lie
A thousand years of the same damn war
And we still don't ask why
Wake the dead
Let them testify
Rise up before
Another generation dies

A mother watches...
missiles fill the sky
Her children sheltered underneath the floor
Democracy's a word they weaponize
While tanks roll through her front door
And half a world away they choose a side
Between the truth and what they want to hear
The algorithm feeds them what they need
To keep them angry...
keep them full of fear...
FUCK!!!

I've seen this throne before
Different flag...
same lie...
I've watched the children fall
heard the mothers cry
How many scrolling past the burning world
Before somebody finally sounds the call!

Wake the dead!
They already know
Wake the dead!
They paid for this show
Rise up, rise up!
The pattern doesn't lie
A thousand years of the same damn war
And we still don't ask why
Wake the dead!
Let them testify
Rise up before
Another generation dies!

They divided us on purpose
They rewrote what we know
They fed us fear for breakfast
Watched us put on their show
But I was there at the beginning
I watched the first lie take hold
I've been watching empires crumble
Since before your history was told
You want to know what's coming?
Ask the ones who already fell
Ask the soldier in the rubble
Ask the child in the cell
They'll tell you what I'm telling you
They'll tell you what I've always known
The powerful only stop
When the powerless find their bones
WAKE THEM UP, NYSERA!

Wake the dead!
They already know!
Wake the dead!
They paid for this show!
Rise up, rise up!
The pattern doesn't lie!
A thousand years of the same damn war!
AND WE STILL DON'T ASK WHY!
Wake the dead!
Let them testify!
RISE UP BEFORE
ANOTHER GENERATION DIES!

I've been here before.
I'll be here again.
The only question is
whether you will too.
Rise up.
