Sirens in the city, boots on the ground, They talk about justice, but it can't be found. Black robes shaking, paper worn thin, Promises fading where the law should begin. Old ghosts talking, history knows, Same old story, same old road.
When power break rules and call it right, That ain't freedom, that's fear at night.
Democracy on fire, burning slow, Fear in the streets, let the people know. No crown, no throne, no secret police, Power don't rule when the people want peace. Democracy on fire, hear the sound, You don't save a nation by burning it down.
Uniforms walking, shadowed lines, Different faces, same old signs. Kick down doors, call it control, But fear don't protect no human soul. Say it's safety, say it's law, But the truth gets weaker the more they force.
When courts stay quiet, guns talk loud, That's not a nation — that's a scared crowd.
Democracy on fire, burning slow, Fear in the streets, let the people know. No crown, no throne, no secret police, Power don't rule when the people want peace. Democracy on fire, hear the sound, You don't save a nation by burning it down.
They say "trust us", hide the truth, Strong hand lies steal the proof. History warned what fear can do, Same old path, another view.
Democracy on fire, burning slow, Fear in the streets, let the people know. No crown, no throne, no secret police, Power don't rule when the people want peace. Democracy on fire — stand your ground, You don't save a nation by burning it down, Burning it down... Burning it down...
Bassline heavy, truth still breathe, Justice bend, but it don't leave. From the street to the firelight choir, People rise when democracy on fire.
