The Descent

In the land of the free, where justice should reign,
A leader now misuses the power we gave.
Women of the Court, who have not been bought off, warn,
A nation at risk with so much at stake, torn.

(Pre-Chorus)
Assassinate a rival? Immune.
Organize a coup to hold on tight? Immune.
Take a bribe for a pardon? Immune.
Immune, immune, immune.

(Chorus)
Fear for democracy, I dissent,
A five-alarm fire that’s burning intense.
The President's power now unchecked by the law,
A king above justice, fear for democracy, I dissent.

(Verse 2)
Rich get richer  corruption creeps,
The scales of justice begin to weep.
A shift in the balance, trust fades away,
The leader we chose now leads us astray

(Pre-Chorus)
Assassinate a rival? Immune.
Organize a coup to hold on tight? Immune.
Take a bribe for a pardon? Immune.
Immune, immune, immune.

Instrumental

Bridge
Nightmare, come true,
The relationship’s shifted, bond we once knew.
A five-alarm fire, our rights in retreat,
Democratic self-rule  faces defeat.

(Outro)
Fear for our democracy, I dissent,
A cry for justice, my words are sent.
The balance is shifting, the damage is done,
In shadows of power, our freedoms are gone.
