promise of sovereignty

[Verse 1 – Calm, venomous spoken]

He raised a glass and cracked a smile
Told you truth was just your style
Sold a flag for half the facts
Drew a map with no way back

Said you'd be free, said you'd be great
Said the chains were just dead weight
You cheered the wreck as it drew near
And punched yourself year after year
[Chorus – Screamed, bitter and loud]

This is the promise of sovereignty!
A boot wrapped tight in liberty
This is the cost of waving the cross
While tearing out your teeth for the boss

This is the anthem of self-made pain
The red bus lie still drives the train
You cast your vote, then cursed the mess
And called it pride while bleeding less
[Verse 2 – Spoken then snarled]

One wore charm like a second skin
Spoke in Latin, drowned in sin
One just shouted, held a pint
Lit the fuse and left the site

They said you’d rule your own again
Then handed keys to smaller men
You bought the badge, you took the bait
Now borders buckle under hate
[Bridge – Glitched samples & bitter lines]

“350 million a week…”
“Take back control…”
“They need us more than we need them…”
“…no downside.”
[Break – Screamed, stomping]

You made a nation out of spite!
You called the dark and killed the light!
You cursed the kids, crowned the clowns
And still you grin as it burns down!
[Verse 3 – Clean, almost mournful]

Now silence hangs where truth once stood
No trust, no trade, no common good
Just empty shelves and aching pride
A flag still waving as you slide
[Final Chorus – Screamed + clean echo]

This is the promise of sovereignty!
Your island throne of broken seas
This is the cost of lies in suits
Of kings who danced in tailored boots

This is the grave you built with cheers
The broken clock of sovereign years
And still you rise to take the blow
Still wear the badge — still don't know
[Outro – Spoken, quiet]

"It wasn't stolen.
You gave it away."
"It wasn't stolen.
You gave it away."
"It wasn't stolen.
You gave it away."
"It wasn't stolen.
You gave it away."
