[Intro – Spoken / Chanted]

No crowns, no chains, no thrones.
No kings.
Only the people, the hands, the bones.

[Verse 1]

We wake up tired, pay to breathe,
Trade our hours just to bleed.
Every dream they sold as hope
Turned to shackles we can’t leave.

The bills climb higher, the wages crawl,
We build their towers, they build our walls.
While we scrape change to feed our kin,
They sip gold in their glass of sin.

[Chorus]

No kings, no gods in suits,
We the roots beneath their boots.
We rise, we shout, we sing —
No crowns, no chains — no kings.

[Verse 2]

Insurance cuts, rent’s a blade,
Schools decay while wars get paid.
Every leader wears the mask
Of power dressed as “public task.”

Healthcare’s just a game of dice,
While they feast, we sacrifice.
And every flag they make us wave
Is stitched from labor we gave.

[Bridge – Spoken, gritty and rising]

They sold us dreams through credit scores,
Locked the gates, then called it “yours.”
From left to right, same puppeteers,
Different masks, same profiteers.

So light that match, let truth ignite —
We’re done obeying parasites.

[Breakdown – Instrumental / Chant]

(no kings, no kings, no kings...)
We the people, not their things!
(no kings, no kings, no kings...)
Take back what freedom brings!

[Final Chorus – explosive]

No kings, no thrones to mend,
This empire meets its end.
We bleed, we build, we sing —
No crowns, no chains — no kings.

[Outro – spoken, fading with protest sounds]

They took our time, our peace, our years.
Now we take back what was always ours.
No kings.
Only the people.

No Kings

Text:
Verse 1
We split the atom, called it light,
a holy spark in endless night.
But every glow leaves shadows deep,
a promise we could never keep.

Pre-Chorus
Steel and silence underground,
ghosts of power, nowhere bound.
Who’ll remember what we’ve done,
when the waste outlives the sun?

Chorus
We heat the water, cool our minds,
call it progress, leave behind
a poison we can’t run away from —
the waste of the sun.

(solo)

Verse 2
Chernobyl burned in '86,
a silent scream the world can’t fix.
Fukushima drowned in waves,
reactors turned to glowing graves.

Pre-Chorus 2
And still they say it’s “safe and clean”,
ignore the tears behind the scene.
The atoms hum, the children run,
from the waste of the sun.

Bridge
No vault can hold forever’s flame,
no warning sign can bear our name.
The future listens, cold and numb —
to echoes of what we’ve become.

Final Chorus (slow and fading)
We heat the water, cool our minds,
call it progress, leave behind…
a shadow that will never be undone —
the waste of the sun.

Outro
(gesprochen, ruhig, fast flüsternd)
Thousands of years…
and the ground still hums.
Long after our names are dust,
the atoms remember.

(sanft gesungen)
We build our towers,
then fade from sight,
our children guard
the ghost of light.

(Sprechpause, dann KI-Stimme oder Echo)
Ten thousand years…
and counting.
The fire sleeps —
but never dies.
