[Silence]
[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro – Spoken / Chant]
Hear the billions!
(Counting our lives!)
Stacked in towers!
(Where power thrives!)
[Organ swell, pulsing bass]
[Verse 1]
They sit on golden thrones
(High in the sky)
We sweat and we toil
(While they decide)
Every second measured
(Each breath we give)
Every fortune built
(On the life we live)
[Pre-Chorus 1 – Chantable]
A billion seconds sold!
(Billion, billion, billion!)
Corruption in plain sight!
(We see it all!)
[Bridge – Spoken / Rising]
Or everything breaks…
(When we rise awake!)
[Synth arpeggio builds]
[Chorus – Call & Response]
Leader: Against the crown!
Crowd: We will stand tall!
Leader: Against the lies!
Crowd: That bind us all!
Leader: A billion voices!
Crowd: Rising in the night!
Leader: Against the crown!
Crowd: For what is right!
[Verse 2 – Spoken / Chant]
Every ledger open!
(Expose their greed!)
Every rule they bend!
(To crush our need!)
Money talks louder!
(But we’ve got fire!)
Billions of hearts!
(Burning with desire!)
[Breakdown – Mass Chant]
Now we rise!
(Now we rise!)
This sh… it dies!
(Sh… it dies!)
From the street!
(To the crowd!)
Hear the people shout it loud!
(Shout it loud!)
[Pre-Chorus 2 – Chant]
A billion seconds spent…
(Under their rule!)
We won’t be silenced!
(By their tool!)
[Chorus – Reprise / Mass]
Leader: Against the crown!
Crowd: We will stand tall!
Leader: Against the lies!
Crowd: That bind us all!
Leader: A billion hearts!
Crowd: Joining in the fight!
Leader: Against the crown!
Crowd: For what is right!
All Together:
Rise! Rise! Rise!
(Against the crown!)
Fight! Fight! Fight!
(We take it down!)
[Final Breakdown – Spoken / Chant]
Every promise printed in gold…
(Can’t hide the truth!)
Time is ours now…
(Count every breath!)
We won’t bow down…
(We choose life over death!)
[Outro – Extended Instrumental / Chant Fade]
Tick… tick… tick…
(We take the score!)
Billions counted!
(And still we rise!)
Against the crown!
(We claim the skies!)
The crown…
(… is going down!)
[Deep bass pulse, organ drone, echoing guitar harmonics, fading chants]
