3.. 2.. 1.. GO!!! On this first match of the tournament, the Running Nose must try to stack up as much damage as possible on Mr. Sandbag!! With a massive audience gathered around this mock version of Mercury, the stakes are as high as ever!! Although.. It seems some of the audience members were expecting someone else.. Regardless, will the Nose manage to set a new world record, or will Mr. Sandbag prove to be too sturdy? You decide.

Showtime (Trap Mix)

In a world that preaches calm while feeding on pain, “This Is Chaos (Fk Your Peace)**” speaks the only honest language left — anger. A metallic sermon for the digital age, where silence is complicity and noise is freedom.

[Verse 1]
Preach your peace with loaded guns,
Feed the poor with plastic suns.
God’s a brand, his stock will rise,
Every sermon monetized.
Children bleeding through their phones,
Pray in pixels, die alone.
Silver crowns, corrupt decay,
We scroll — and rot away.

[Pre-Chorus ]
(Do you hear it — the system breaking?)
(Truth’s a corpse — we’re suffocating!)

[Chorus]
THIS IS CHAOS, F**K YOUR PEACE!
F**K YOUR PEACE!

[Verse 2]
Money preaches, angels crawl,
Every promise — protocol.
Fake messiahs, trending fear,
We pay the price — they disappear.
Politicians stage their pain,
Cry on cue, then count their gain.
“Freedom” flashing, screens ignite,
We feed the beast, we like the bite.

[Pre-Chorus]
(Wake up! Wake up!)
(We’re drowning in fake love!)

[Chorus]
THIS IS CHAOS, F**K YOUR PEACE!
F**K YOUR PEACE!

[Bridge]
BURN THE LIES — TEAR THE WALLS!
NO GOD LEFT TO HEAR OUR CALLS!
PRAY FOR HOPE — I PRAY FOR WAR!
’CAUSE PAIN’S THE ONLY THING WE’RE FIGHTING FOR!

[Chorus ]
THIS IS CHAOS, F**K YOUR PEACE!
F**K YOUR PEACE!
F**K YOUR PEACE!
F**K YOUR PEACE!

[Final Chorus]
THIS IS CHAOS, F**K YOUR PEACE!
F**K YOUR PEACE!
F**K YOUR PEACE!
F**K YOUR PEACE!

Fk Your Peace!

Emperor for an Hour is a tournament, styled after Siivagunner’s King for a Day and King for Another Day. While this tournament does not have as much a focus on the music side of things, we will have just as much, if not more of a focus on the art and writing side of things. That’s right, this is a lore-comes-first type of thing.

Over the next week or so, we’ll be announcing the 16 character roster over on our tumblr, as well as something special! Stay tuned, and join our discord server to keep up with news.
