alan mcgee playlist - part 2

I read the news through a painted lens
Lies wrapped up in corporate friends
I dig through dirt, I chase the thread
While the world just scrolls and shakes its head

No fancy schools, no PhD
But I see what they don’t want me to see
Patterns in chaos, whispers in smoke
Truth dressed up like some kind of joke

The wise are breaking, numbing their pain
To unsee what’s real in a world insane

Do I rise? Do I fight?
For a flag that don’t feel right?
Do I bleed for a cause
While they sit behind their laws?
No more war for a wicked regime
No more deaths for a corporate dream
We built this cage —
We can tear the seams

They push us down, feed us despair
Profit from panic, then strip us bare
Weapons sold for a bloody prize
While monsters hide behind suits and ties

Equality? Just a word they twist
Solutions fade in an iron fist
“Share the wealth” they call it war
When we ask for less, they take some more

(Yeah!)
Tear the walls down stone by stone
(BOOM!)
Burn the thrones and take the throne
(Come on!)
Break the banks and shred the chains
Let the people rise from pain

Stop the killing for their gain
Let the fire wash this shame
Let the system fall to dust
Let ‘em fear the ones they crushed
We are many — we can see
They don’t own you
They don’t own me

We built this world — now let it burn
And build again on what we learn
No kings, no gods, no lies to feed
Just open hearts
Where we can fucking breathe

Blood for Nothing

A cynical toast to false friends who celebrate you in public but tear you down in the shadows

Shadowtoast

[Verse]
Dust in my lungs
Burning sand under my skin
Eyes like torches in the wind
He walks the dunes where life begins

[Chorus]
Anubis rising
Shadows crawl
Guardian of the final call
Weighed hearts break
Weighed hearts fall
Anubis rising
He takes it all

[Verse 2]
Jackal mask
Teeth of stone
The dead don’t walk this road alone
Fingers grip the thread of fate
Door of Osiris
Seal your weight

[Prechorus]
Scales of truth
They never lie
Do you fall or will you fly

[Chorus]
Anubis rising
Shadows crawl
Guardian of the final call
Weighed hearts break
Weighed hearts fall
Anubis rising
He takes it all

[Bridge]
Golden sands hum
The ancients sing
Serpent coils
A shattered king
The feather lifts
The blade descends
No beginning
No end

Double Dare
