This is the remake of the original that was meant to be on this album. I made it much heavier and darker. Fitting of the lyrics, of course.

[Intro]
Breathe in the plague, now spit it out!
They fed you lies and called it faith
Hanged your neighbor for your pain
Built a throne from shattered truth
Now it’s time to burn it down

[Verse 1]
Poison in the pulpits, profit in the fear
Chanting “freedom” with a noose held near
Flags draped over loaded guns
Sermons screamed through shattered lungs
Burn the books, erase the past
Crown a tyrant made of ash
Stained in red, draped in white
But underneath, it’s all maggots and blight

[Chorus]
We are the fire, the pulse in the land
No more crawling, together we stand
Rip off the mask, let the cowards choke
Leave the maggots behind, let the country wake up broke
We won't go down in flames, we inhale the smoke!

[Verse 2]
Cracked foundations, built on graves
Truth's a weapon they never gave
Scream “liberty” with bloodied hands
While stealing hope from broken lands
They kneel for kings, not for the lost
They praise the cross, forget the cost
But we remember every name
They tried to silence us, we scream the same

[Breakdown 1]
We were the bastions of progress and peace
Dreamers and builders, tearing down grief
Voices of color, of pride, of truth
Hearts wide open, rising from youth
Silicon sparks and rainbow skies
We reached for the stars, then swallowed the lies
Truth turned twisted, justice sold
We fed the flame, now the fire’s cold
We were the light, now we’re the rot
The world once watched… now they forgot
Liberty screams from a fractured spine
We were the future, and now freedom dies!

[Breakdown 2]
They want us torn...
They want us gone...
But we are legion...
And we are done!
They want us torn...
They want us gone...
But we are legion...
And we are strong!
The rats don’t run this house anymore
We’re the flood, we’re the goddamn war

[Chorus]
We are the fire, the pulse in the land
No more crawling, together we stand
Rip off the mask, let the cowards choke
Leave the maggots behind, let the country wake up broke
We won't go down in flames, we inhale the smoke!

[Outro]
You don’t own the flag.
You don’t own the truth.
We are the reckoning.
And we...
Aren’t...
Done!

Leave The Maggots Behind

Hi there!

I make music sometimes. I'm in a creative rut right now so there won't be any music for a very long time, but I'm looking forward to change that.

That message was 7 years ago... I haven't touched music in 7 years, brother... but now, I have two albums on Spotify, a Trilogy demo, and a third and final album in the works. It's crazy when creativity hits you. 

I love making music, and I'm only here for the music aspect. If I somehow get famous out of it, that would be cool; if not, I'm okay with it.

I don't need your ridiculous marketing stuff. I'm good, really.
