Streetlights twitch like nervous lies,

Neon halos over alibis,

They sell us fear in plastic bags,

Call it truth, stitch on the tags.

I taste the smoke of broken deals,

Hear the gears behind the wheels,

You preach your saints in bulletproof,

While bleeding hope out of the youth.

You raised your glass to another fall,

Said “it’s for peace,” wrote names on the wall,

I read the fine print in gasoline,

This ain’t fate—it’s a killing machine.

IT’S THE NIGHT OF INFAMY, WRITE IT IN SCARS,

KINGS PLAY GOD FROM BEHIND THEIR BARS,

IT’S THE NIGHT OF INFAMY, LIE IN RED AND GREED,

HEAR THE CROWD HOWL, HEAR HISTORY BLEED—

THIS IS_____ THE NIGHT OF INFAMY.

I learned my prayers from a busted radio,

Static sermons, talk-show rodeo,

They teach us love with a clenched fist,

And call it order, call it bliss.

I shook hands with a hungry truth,

Found it gagged in a three-piece suit,

You draw your lines in blood and ink,

Then wonder why the whole thing stinks.

You light the fuse, then curse the flame,

Change the logo, keep the same game,

I won’t kneel to your TV crown,

I’d rather choke on my own sound.

IT’S THE NIGHT OF INFAMY, THE VERDICT’S “ME,”

GUILTY OF SEEING WHAT SHOULDN’T BE,

IT’S THE NIGHT OF INFAMY, CARVED IN THE STREETS,

WHERE PROMISES DIE AT THE SOUND OF BOOTS,

STILL CAN’T WASH____ THE NIGHT OF INFAMY.

I’m not your hero,

I’m not your saint,

I’m just the crack.

If silence is gold

cancel my name,

erase my face.

No halos. No heroes.

No justice on delay.

You lit the match—

Don’t look away.

IT’S THE NIGHT OF INFAMY, REMEMBER THE NAME

WE’RE THE CHAOS, WE’RE THE FLAME

IT’S THE NIGHT OF INFAMY, “HOW DID IT START?”

SAY WE CHOSE NOISE OVER A QUIET HEART,

STILL RISE ANOTHER_____ NIGHT OF INFAMY.
