False-god Ascension · MACHINE GUN RECORDS

[Intro]

False light call it dawn, nah, it's a house of lies

Every crown they polish still bleeds from inside

Ascension papers stamped in gold, still counterfeit

False god on the throne, watch the empire fall to shit

[Verse 1]

This is the.. intersection of intervention of false god ascension

The rules are clear, article FUCK YOU, in the FUCK OFF section

It happens to mention if you fuck around, you find out

So wipe the grime out, do the crime, do the time now, I see no other route

Steel door slam, that's the sound of the sentence

Every badge got a price but I don't sell my presence

Preach the gospel of control, I ain't buying the collection

Burn the pulpit down, expose the whole deception

[Pre-Chorus]

They built a cage and called it heaven

Told me kneel, I said "fuck that, never"

Every false god falls in the end

I'm the storm they can't pretend

[Chorus]

FALSE GOD ASCENSION, watch the whole thing burn

Every lie they built on, watch the tables turn

I don't need your kingdom, I don't need your crown

Stoic in the fire while your empire falls down

FALSE GOD ASCENSION, this is not a phase

I've been through the fire, I don't fear the blaze

Article of fury written in my name

You can keep the throne, I'll keep the flame

[Verse 2]

Twelve hour shift, watch the sun disappear

Counted every soul that they told me not to hear

I know the weight of a badge and the weight of a chain

Same fucked-up system, just a different name for pain

Marcus in my pocket, Stoic in my chest

Discipline the fire, never let it rest

They call it order, I call it a noose

Cut the puppet strings, watch the whole thing loose

[Breakdown]

(chugs) DOWN, (chugs) DOWN, burn the crown

(chugs) NOW, (chugs) NOW, tear it down

False god, FALSE GOD, hit the ground

No mercy for the empire, no mercy for the sound

[Verse 3 - Patois]

Mi seh di system a wolf inna sheep clothes, yuh no see it?

Dem preach seh dem holy but a lie dem a live it

Fire pon di throne, mi nah bow, mi nah kneel

Jah know seh di truth cyaa hide, it always reveal

Rise up di people dem, break di chain and di code

Nuh false god can hold mi down, mi carry mi own load

[Bridge]

Jus meum tuebor, I will defend what's mine

Every scar a sentence, every breath a sign

They can build the temple, but they can't make it true

I'll be standing in the ashes when the sky turns blue

[Final Chorus]
