Respect The Set

Verse 1
Underneath the watchful eyes of giants,
Steel and smoke, they're feeding us with lies.
Silent whispers turning into cries,
In this shadow, freedom never dies.

Pre-Chorus
Rising through the cracks, the truth will flow,
Wearing chains we break, we grow.

Chorus
Shadows of the system, dark and vast,
Echoes of the future, born from the past.
Rebel hearts ignite, break free at last,
In the shadows, in the shadows we stand fast.

Verse 2
Tainted tales spun by the strings of power,
Clocks tick doom as we approach the hour.
Corporate kings, their ivory towers crumble,
Stand with me, it's time to be humble.

Bridge
Break these chains, no more silence,
In our veins, the storm's defiance.
With each chord, with each rhyme,
We're the voice of the desperate, breaking time.

Chorus
Shadows of the system, dark and vast,
Echoes of the future, born from the past.
Rebel hearts ignite, break free at last,
In the shadows, in the shadows we stand fast.

Chorus
Shadows of the system, dark and vast,
Echoes of the future, born from the past.
Rebel hearts ignite, break free at last,
In the shadows, in the shadows we stand fast.

Outro
Through the noise, through the dark,
Find the spark, leave a mark.
Music's our rebellion, songs our ark,
In the shadows, we light the stark.

Shadows of the System

Verse 1
Step outside, where the edges blur,
No digital sheen, just the earth's raw stir.
Colors bleed into skies unbound,
Hear the life in every sound.

Pre-Chorus
Drop the screen, feel the stones,
Breathe the air down to your bones.

Chorus
In unfiltered horizons, we find our place,
Raw beauty, in time's embrace.
Colors real, in the morning's face,
Live this moment, leave no trace.

Verse 2 
See the world, no edits, no lies,
Every breath a new surprise.
Textures rich as nature replies,
Truth in the earth, the seas, the skies.

Bridge
Feel the wind, its ancient tales,
In every scent, a story unveils.
Touch the leaves, the rough, the smooth,
Move to the natural rhythm, the groove.

Outro
So strip away the filters, see the light,
In every dawn, in every night.
Live unscripted, with all your might,
In the true colors, bold and bright.

FIND A WAY TO FIGHT

My Weakness

Winnipeg composer, retired from the farm, still chasing meaning in melody. My work lives where TV cues meet YouTube soundscapes, with a few albums in between. Built in Mixcraft Pro, fuelled by late-night coffee, stubborn curiosity, and a Stoic’s sense of timing. Also writing on politics, history, and philosophy, because sound isn’t my only instrument.
