OÏKOUMEN - Reign of Idiocy

Описание: ✨ Here is our new single Reign of Idiocy. A symphonic and orchestral metal song about school bullying, seen through the eyes of the victim with a powerful and violent intensity we tried to capture with grandiose orchestras, energetic riffs, and vocals deployed like a tear-stained scream.

✍️ Lyrics ✍️

Innocent but found guilty,
By vicious minds that feel no pity.
Child’s entering a court, not a playground.
Now starts the first round !

Mocking eyes and sharp whispers,
are trying to fade the blossom.
Don’t listen to these vipers...
Spew out the venom !

The world can be so cruel...
Yes, that’s what they like to say.
It’s time to change this rule
And time to make them pay.

How can’t you feel
The harm you do ?
It’s easy to be mean...
It’s the mark of the weak !

The shame’s on you !
Behind this smile,
There is the proof,
Of a deep idiocy !

They are just pack leaders
convinced of their supremacy...
But the only thing they are
is tyrants and culprits.

Facing them in the arena,
The one they want to smother the lights...
But as they cast anathemas,
the child got tired of their bites...

From the bottom of his heart,
He hoped for justice.
Someone to give him a spark,
So he’ll be their antithesis.

It is just a childish game
Yes, that’s what they like to say...
It’s time to change this name
How do you call a game that slays ?

How can’t you feel
The harm you do ?
It’s easy to be mean...
It’s the mark of the weak !

The shame’s on you
Behind this smile
There is the proof...
Of a deep idiocy !
