"The Big Lie, Democracy's Test"
[Intro: Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
There once was a day that shook history
As cold winter skies hung over D.C.
Our sacred halls, once so proud and strong
Witnessed a scene that went terribly wrong
The "Big Lie" spread from his seat of power
Fueling that unchecked rage, hour upon hour
[Chorus: layered vocals]
Democracy's test was by those with no shame
From every corner of the nation, they came
But the voice of the people refused to fall
On that horrible day, when we saw it all
Our foundation shaken; our unity tried
As truth and deception fiercely collide
[Verse 2]
Words have power, words can bite
A president's voice sparked this fight
No storm appears from a clear blue sky
Democracy weeps when our leaders lie
Our loyalty must lie not with one name
It's the Constitution that we proudly claim
[Verse 3]
As violence reigned for hours on end
The one who could have called to mend
Sat watching Fox News, unmoved, unmade
His silence thundering like a cannonade
As pleas for help went unanswered still
A dereliction of duty and of highest will
[Verse 4]
Our officers stood brave and firm that day
As duty called, they summoned a way
Three balanced and co-equal branches rein
The powers that our most sacred laws contain
This balance that has stood the test of time
That our Founding Fathers carefully designed
[Verse 5]
Red and blue must join as one
To heal what hatred has undone
For no one side can stand alone
A house divided cannot atone
Each vote and voice and watchful eye
Democracy lives when each one tries
[Chorus: layered vocals]
Democracy's test was put to the flame
From every corner of the nation, they came
But the voice of the people refused to fall
On that horrible day, when we saw it all
Our foundation shaken; our unity tried
As truth and deception fiercely collide
Yet still we stand, though gravely scarred
The promise of freedom cannot be barred
