Lyrics
Verse 1 — Boardroom Guillotine
Steel-tongued suits in a concrete hive
Profit bleeds where the workers die
Toxic ink on a quarterly lie
Dalkon shields and Pinto fires ignite
Crowd Chant: “NO MORE LIES! NO MORE LIES!”
They sell the cancer, they brand the pain
A smiling logo on a death campaign
Coal dust lungs, chemical rain
Their silence screams in legal chains
Verse 2 — Embellished
Embellished truth, a polished blade
Cutting through the laws they evade
Gendered wounds in sweatshop shade
Exploited lives in profit parade
Call & Response
Vocalist
“Who profits from the pain?”
Crowd Chant: THE FUCKING CORPORATE CHAIN!
Dump the waste where the poor reside
Greenwashed guilt they fucking hide
Systemic rot they won’t confide
Justice drowned in the rising tide
Chorus — “Violence in a Suit
Violence in a suit, blood behind the brand
Invisible war with a paper hand
Legalized harm, no reprimand
Profit reigns where the dead still stand
*SFX: sirens, coughing, static bursts*
*Solo: chaotic whammy dive bombs, chromatic collapse*
Crowd Chant: “FUCK YOUR BRAND!” x4
Verse 3 — “Collateral Casualties
Cancer clouds from smokestack breath
Policies signed with hidden death
Children born to poisoned earth
A legacy of profit’s worth
They engineer decay and dread
In boardroom bunkers, cold and fed
No bullet fired, but bodies bled
From every clause their lawyers thread
[Bridge — “Breakdown of Empathy] (80 BPM Doom Dirge)
Low-pass filtered conscience fades
In echo chambers of accolades
No jail, no shame, no barricades
Just dividends and accolades
*Flanger FX: swirling descent into madness*
*Breakdown: heartbeat kick drum, stereo collapse*
Crowd Chant: “CORPORATE KILLERS!” x4
Verse 4 — “Systemic Siege
They build the cage with legal steel
A structure forged to never feel
From food to meds, the silent deal
Where profit trumps the public’s zeal
Crowd Chant: “EM-BELL-ISHED!” x4 — fists in the air
No whistle loud enough to pierce
The armor of their fiscal fierce
No court to hold their crimes reversed
Just loopholes where the truth is cursed
[Final Chorus — “Embellished] (Reprise)
Embellished lies, a gilded blade
Cutting futures they’ve betrayed
Violence masked in a stock crusade
Where justice dies and greed’s obeyed
Fuck your brand, your polished name
Your empire built on blood and shame
We see the truth beneath the frame
And scream it loud through sonic flame
*Outro: chaotic solo, stereo fade into industrial noise*
