[Verse 1]
In chambers where the powerful meet
Behind closed doors they make a deal
"We'll use these radicals to compete
Their chaos serves our mass appeal"
But history shows this fatal flaw
The beast you feed will break your jaw
[Chorus]
Elite betrayal, gates swing wide
Norms abandoned, power's pride
Three pillars cracking from inside
Democracy's fatal slide
Elite betrayal, gates swing wide
When guardrails fall, freedom dies
[Verse 2]
The gatekeepers who once stood strong
Now calculate their party's gain
They let extremists sing their song
For votes that ease their political pain
Short-term advantage blinds their sight
To long-term costs of endless fight
[Chorus]
Elite betrayal, gates swing wide
Norms abandoned, power's pride
Three pillars cracking from inside
Democracy's fatal slide
Elite betrayal, gates swing wide
When guardrails fall, freedom dies
[Bridge]
First they think they're in control
Using hatred for their goal
Then the monster breaks its chain
Nothing left but ash and pain
Weimar's lesson, crystal clear
Democratic death draws near
[Verse 3]
Sacred norms that held the line
Peaceful transfer, truth, and trust
Sacrificed for power's shrine
Till institutions turn to dust
What took centuries to build
Can be destroyed when honor's killed
[Chorus]
Elite betrayal, gates swing wide
Norms abandoned, power's pride
Three pillars cracking from inside
Democracy's fatal slide
Elite betrayal, gates swing wide
When guardrails fall, freedom dies
[Outro]
Remember well these warning signs
Before we cross those fatal lines
Elite betrayal, open gates
Abandoned norms seal freedom's fate
