Lyrics

Prologue
Shadows crawl across the land
As democracy's pillars stand
Weakened by the coming storm
A new dark age taking form
Verse 1
From golden towers of vanity
A mogul plots his strategy
Celebrity turned to power play
Truth and reason cast away
The halls of history echo now
With warnings we've disavowed
Empires fallen to men like these
Who promise glory on their knees
Bridge
The constitution's sacred pact
Stands threatened by each act
While liberty holds its breath
In the face of democratic death
Intro
Flames of discord rise high
Dark clouds gather in the sky
Democracy's fragile light
Faces its darkest night[Start]
Intro
Flames of discord rise high
Dark clouds gather in the sky
Democracy's fragile light
Faces its darkest night
Verse 1
A businessman turned demagogue
His rhetoric, a poisoned fog
Media circus fuels his fame
As he plays his dangerous game
Dividing nations with his words
Truth twisted like dying birds
The masses hang on every tweet
As institutions face defeat
Pre-Chorus
The warning signs were always there
Yet many choose not to care
A perfect storm now takes control
As liberty pays the toll
Chorus
A tyrant's rise to power
Democracy hangs by a thread
The people blinded by his towers
False promises widely spread
Post-Chorus
Beware! Beware!
The fall awaits, beware![Chorus]
A tyrant's rise to power
Democracy hangs by a thread
The people blinded by his towers
False promises widely spread
Post-Chorus
Beware! Beware!
The fall awaits, beware!
Verse 2
Golden throne of deception
A nation torn apart and used
Fear becomes his weapon
As truth and facts are all confused
Walls built high around freedom
While justice weeps and bleeds
The circus of distraction
While power feeds on greed
Pre-Chorus
History watches silently
As empires rise and fall
The warnings from antiquity
Go unheard by all
Chorus
A tyrant's rise to power
Democracy hangs by a thread
The people blinded by his towers
False promises widely spread
Post-Chorus
Beware! Beware!
The fall awaits, beware![Bridge]
The assault on hallowed chambers
Democracy's temple defiled
The final act of rebellion
As reason is reviled
A legacy carved in chaos
History's judgment awaits
When power corrupts absolutely
And truth disintegrates
Guitar Solo
Final Chorus
A tyrant's rise to power
Democracy hangs by a thread
The people blinded by his towers
False promises widely spread
Outro
The pages of history turn
With warnings we must learn
For freedom's torch to burn
The vigilant must return
The battle for truth never ends
On this our future depends
Remember this dark descent
To prevent the next ascent
End
