Killer Democracy

How many lives will it take to break,Before the silence shatters, before the dawn can wake?

Verse 1
Shadows in the courtroom, echoes in the street,
Rights turned into weapons, blood beneath our feet.
Voices once debating now silenced by the gun,
The law was written backward, the killing has begun.

Chorus
Killer Democracy, tearing at the seams,
Ballots drowned in gunfire, nightmares killing dreams.
Justice sold to power, freedom on the run,
Killer Democracy — the trigger pulls the sun.

Verse 2
Children in the crossfire, leaders on the floor,
Each shot a Constitution that can’t protect us anymore.
Profit fuels the madness, the lobby feeds the flame,
A nation built on ballots reduced to a deadly game.

Chorus (repeat)
Killer Democracy, tearing at the seams,
Ballots drowned in gunfire, nightmares killing dreams.
Justice sold to power, freedom on the run,
Killer Democracy — the trigger pulls the sun.

Bridge
How many lives will it take to break,
Before the silence shatters, before the dawn can wake?

Final Chorus
Killer Democracy, bleeding in the night,
We’ve traded truth for violence, and bullets for the right.
But voices rise together, refusing to be done —
Killer Democracy won’t silence everyone.
