¶ Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Red lights glow in the dead of space,
Steel and fire set the stage in place,
This guy sneers with a fearless face,
Says surrender now, accept your fate.
Jack stands still, with a knife in calm,
Silence heavy like a loaded bomb,
One last breath before the storm,
One wrong choice to keep them warm.
(Pre-Chorus 1)
He said, “Freedom’s just a fragile lie,
When gods decide who lives or dies,”
A whisper sharp, a warning grand,
Peace ain’t peace when held in hand.
(Chorus)
This is peace by command,
A kingdom built on shifting sand,
No bullets flew, no final stand,
But chains still echo through the land.
Fear is the gun, control is the plan,
A god is born where a man began,
Yeah I saved them all… but I don’t understand,
Was it peace… or just command?
(Verse 2)
“VIRGO’s real,” he lets it bite,
A failsafe hiding in the night,
This guy laughs, says, “You wouldn’t dare,”
Jack just grins like he doesn’t care.
Mistress moves, the signal lands,
Libertix fall with empty hands,
Voices numb like frozen stone,
Awaiting orders, stripped of bone.
(Pre-Chorus 2)
The bridge goes cold, the air turns thin,
No one knows where they stand within,
No victory hymn, no cheering band,
Just silence bought with poisoned hands.
(Chorus)
This is peace by command,
A kingdom built on shifting sand,
No bullets flew, no final stand,
But chains still echo through the land.
Fear is the gun, control is the plan,
A god is born where a man began,
Yeah I saved them all… but I don’t understand,
Was it peace… or just command?
(Bridge)
Stand down, retreat, don’t make a sound,
The cost of mercy drags you down,
They feared the leash more than the flame,
And I’m the one who bears the blame.
I didn’t kill… I rewrote the sky,
I didn’t shoot… but something died.
(Final Chorus)
This is peace by command,
A scar that spreads across the land,
No heroes clean, no righteous stand,
Just choices burned into the sand.
Fear is the crown, control is the brand,
A god is feared where a man began,
Yeah I saved them all… but I’ll be damned,
It wasn’t peace… it was command.
(Outro)
By choice… or by command…
By choice… or by command…
