Wake Up, Malaysia

(Intro)
Yeah…
Listen to the wind, Malaysia.
Listen to the warning bell.

(Verse 1)
The ink is dry upon the page, the ballot box is sealed
But in the halls of Melaka, a darker game’s revealed
They’re handing out the gavel to the ones who didn’t fight
Appointed in the shadows, stepping out into the light
No mandate from the people, just a whisper in the hall
They’re stacking up the benches just to build a higher wall
They say they need the experts, but we see right through the veil
When you bypass the election, it’s the people who will fail.

(Chorus)
Oh, wake up, Malaysia, hear the warning bell ring!
They’re clipping the wings of the voice that we sing
When they hand out the seats to the unelected few
They’re taking away the power to hold them in view!
Stand together, stand united, don’t let the vision fade
Defend the sacred ballot, the foundation we laid!
Don’t let them steal the future, don’t let them break the trust
If we don’t check their power now, to ashes we will rust!

(Verse 2)
It’s the tyranny of majority, a classic, bitter play
Where the rules are rewritten to make the rulers stay
They build a firewall of numbers to keep the critics out
To drown the opposition, to silence every doubt
But if we lose the power to question, if we lose the power to check
We’re handing them the keys to put a chain around our neck
A representative’s a servant, not a king upon a throne
If they didn’t win the people’s vote, they shouldn’t claim the bone!

(Chorus)
Oh, wake up, Malaysia, hear the warning bell ring!
They’re clipping the wings of the voice that we sing
When they hand out the seats to the unelected few
They’re taking away the power to hold them in view!
Stand together, stand united, don’t let the vision fade
Defend the sacred ballot, the foundation we laid!
Don’t let them steal the future, don’t let them break the trust
If we don’t check their power now, to ashes we will rust!

(Bridge)
History is watching, the pages turn and bleed
When a leader takes a shortcut to satisfy their greed
Look across the oceans, look across the years
See the fallen democracies, built on compromises and fears.
Remember the old wisdom, let it echo through the land:
Power corrupts… but absolute power takes a heavier hand!
Absolute power corrupts absolutely! Don’t you see?
They’re building up a dictatorship for their immunity!
(Guitar screeches, drums crash back in)
We will not let it happen here!

(Guitar Solo)
Oh, wake up, Malaysia, hear the warning bell ring!
They’re clipping the wings of the voice that we sing
When they hand out the seats to the unelected few
They’re taking away the power to hold them in view!
Stand together, stand united, don’t let the vision fade
Defend the sacred ballot, the foundation we laid!

(Outro)
One voice. One nation. One democratic dream.
Don’t let them take the power from the people’s supreme.
No unelected shadows. No backroom deals in sight.
Malaysia, stand together…
And fight for what is right.
(Music fades to a single, resonant drum beat)
Hold the line.
Hold the line.
Keep the power in the hands of the people.
