***LYRICS***
You say, you hate the way I am,
The way I move,
The way I sound, 

And YOU!!! Talk shit 
all the time,
On my fucking dime,
Its the perfect crime, 

YOU!!!!
Fucking hate you
Hate you 
Fuck I hate you 

And YOU!! I want to peel away,
That fucking mask,
You wear every day, 

WIPE!!! that stupid grin,
Off your ugly face,
Split your chin, 

YOU!!!!
Fucking hate you
Hate you 
Fuck I hate you 

Blame me for your short comings
Blame me for your inadequacies 
Blame me for all that's wrong in your life 

But its you,  the one dictating,
Your lifes path and your stumblings,
Never realising the truth in front of your eyes 

Lead break 

YOU !!!!
Fucking hate you
Hate you 
Fuck I hate you 

YOU !!!!
Fucking hate you
Hate you 
Fuck I hate you

This Is a Test

This song is a scathing critique of Donald Trump, portraying him as a symbol of authoritarianism, manipulation, and oppression. Through its lyrics, the song paints a picture of a world where fear, hate, and lies are used to control and oppress, and where the past's darkest moments are eerily resurrected in Trump's persona. The song's themes of resistance, warning, and defiance are woven throughout the verses and choruses, with a strong sense of urgency and conviction. The song's message is clear: Trump's brand of politics is a threat to freedom, humanity, and the values of truth and justice. 

The music itself is a fusion of gothic rock, Electro, and Synthpop, with haunting whispers, distorted guitars, and a driving rhythm that propels the song's intense energy and emotion.



LYRICS: 

[Intro]
Vermin in the walls… marching in gold masks…
The past isn’t dead. It’s voting. 

[Verse 1]
There's poison on your tongue again
The crowd devours every word
You wrap the lie in a red, white grin
And swear it's truth they've never heard
A thousand hands rise like firelight
In the shadow of a stolen stage
But echoes from the Reich still scream
Beneath your plastic, paper rage 

[Pre-Chorus]
I see your empire built on bones
Where freedom dies, your power grows 

[Chorus]
You're not a savior—you're a shadow Führer
Feeding the beast with every cheer
Dehumanize, disguise the terror
History is watching here
You're not a prophet—you're the echo
Of a past we swore we'd burn
But now the flame’s behind the curtain
And the wheels begin to turn 

[Verse 2]
You spit the same seductive hate
Label us the “threat within”
Turn neighbor into enemy
And wash your hands before you grin
Like ghosts from Nuremberg's black stage
Your lies are gospel to the crowd
They wear your name like holy chains
And scream it fierce, and scream it loud 

[Bridge]
A theater of flags and fire
A fever-dream of praise
You twist their pain to worship
And call the violence brave
But I see through the curtain
To the man behind the throne
He’s not a god, just hunger
With a microphone and drone 

[Chorus]
You're not a savior—you're a shadow Führer
With cruelty dressed in pride
Resurrecting ancient terror
And daring truth to hide
You're not a prophet—
you're a parody
Of the evil we denied
But no lie lives forever
And the reckoning will rise 

[Verse 3]
I’ve seen this dream before in ash
In broken glass and blood-soaked stone
Where silence meant complicity
And no one stood alone
But I will be the siren song
That cuts through thunder's cry
You’ll try to burn the future down—
I dare you. Watch me rise. 

[Final Chorus]
You're not a savior—you're a shadow Führer
A mask of power, thin and torn
You steal the soul of every mirror
But this time—we are warned
You are not eternal—you’re a symptom
Of a sickness we will end
We won’t go quiet, we remember
And we will not bow again 

[Outro]
“First they came…” they’ll never say again.
You are not history.
You are its warning.

Shadow Führer

🎶 From Cassette Tapes to Creating My Own Sound 🎶

When I was a kid, music was more than background noise, it was my escape, my teacher, and my first real love. I’d sit with two cassette players, playing the Beatles on one and singing into the other, trying my best to match artists like Paul McCartney or Barbara Streisand’s range (sometimes successfully, sometimes not so much) 🤣. Homework could wait, lyrics in my wide rule notebooks couldn’t.

Life took me through winding roads, retail, hospitality, consulting, caregiving, but music never stopped calling. 45 years later, after many personal losses, and loosing one of my sons last year, I turned back to songwriting as therapy. Inspiration is all around me. Every song I create starts with raw lyrics, usually scribbled in one shot as I choreograph in my mind, then evolves into a fully produced track through hours of refining vocal coding,  instrumentation, and feel. I blend personal stories with AI driven music tools, letting technology and emotion work together to capture what I hear and see in my head and heart.

Now, I’m finally sharing it. Not perfect, not polished to death, just real. This is me, finally putting the music out there for you to hear.
Peace & Love ❤️
