Will the 2028 Election Even Happen?

From Kent State to right now, the lesson’s the same,They fear the people more than the blame.

[Verse 1]
There’s thunder on the border, smoke in the sky,
Leaders call it freedom, but the truth’s gone dry.
They’re training the soldiers, they’re loading the guns,
Saying it’s for peace — but we know how that’s done.

[Pre-Chorus]
From Kent State to right now, the lesson’s the same,
They fear the people more than the blame.

[Chorus]
Will the 2028 election even happen?
Or will the flag wave over something that’s already gone?
They’ll call it safety, they’ll call it order,
While they’re crossing that final line we swore upon.

[Verse 2]
They talk about enemies, but they’re looking within,
Every law they write cuts deeper in skin.
There’s talk of the bomb, and whispers of might,
But the fear they’re selling ain’t about the fight.

[Pre-Chorus]
They’re lighting the fuse with a trembling hand,
Saying it’s justice while they bury the land.

[Chorus]
Will the 2028 election even happen?
Will we still stand tall when the counting’s done?
They say it’s emergency, just till it’s over,
But nobody gives freedom back once it’s gone.

[Bridge – (spoken, low tone or sung softly)]
History’s a circle, it don’t ever lie,
Empires fall when the people close their eyes.

[Final Chorus]
Will the 2028 election even happen?
Or will we wake to the sound of marching boots at dawn?
They’ll call it love of country, they’ll call it survival,
But democracy dies to a patriot’s song.
