The Shareholder's Hymn by Mórradin’s Grudge
[Style of Music: Coldwave Industrial Funk with a rigid, metronomic drum machine beat like a factory floor. A sharp, minimalist, slapping funk bassline provides the only groove. The soundscape is dominated by cold, sterile synthesizers and clean, stabbing post-punk electric guitar chords that cut through the mix. No warmth, no reverb, pure clinical precision.]

Lyrics
Intro
A single, sharp, synthesized chord hangs in the air
The relentless, metronomic drum machine beat starts: KICK-SNARE-KICK-SNARE
The clean, slapping funk bassline enters, cold and precise
Verse 1
Vocals: Male. Cold, clean, arrogant, with a perfect British RP accent. Sung with detached confidence.
You sweat, you bleed, you plant the seed
I own the soil, I own the deed
You face the fire, you breathe the smoke
I write the reports... on the words I spoke
Chorus
The stabbing electric guitar enters, accentuating the rhythm
The victory speech is mine to give
The bonus check is mine to live
I am the name on the gilded plaque
And I never... ever... look back
Verse 2
The bassline becomes slightly more complex, but no less cold
You march to drums, you face the guns
I draw the maps and count the sums
Your name's a number, a price, a cost
On a balance sheet... of a war you lost
Chorus
The guitar is more aggressive now
The victory speech is mine to give
The bonus check is mine to live
I am the name on the gilded plaque
And I never... ever... look back
Outro
All instruments cut out abruptly, leaving only the vocalist's chilling, soft whisper, almost like an ASMR
It's not theft...
pause
...it's management.
The sound of a heavy, ornate pen signing a document, followed by immediate silence.
