00:12Under the lights, they smile, but the blood never dries
00:17I own the red carpet, lights blinding my eyes
00:21Designer dreams, masking the desperate cries
00:25Champagne kisses and deals in the dark
00:29They promised me heaven left permanent marks
00:33Young faces arrive with stars in their gaze
00:37Chasing the glory through a glittery maze
00:41But the parties got quiet when the cameras left
00:45And the powerful men took what they wanted next
00:49They called it networking, the cost of the crown
00:54Private flights soaring where the lost can't be found
00:58Massages at midnight, islands so grand
01:02Where innocents vanish right there in their hands
01:06There's blood on the stars, can't you see it now?
01:11Hollywood's shining while tearing us down
01:14They trade souls for power in mansions and jets
01:18The elite keep the secrets but the truth won't forget
01:22They dance on their altars, we smile through the pain
01:26Now the files are open, feel the weight of the state
01:30Blood on the stars is dripping tonight
01:34The whole world is waking to this terrible light
01:38I watched the directors and moguls unite
01:43Trading young dreams for a forbidden night
01:47Names never spoken but everyone knew
01:51The fixers, the flyers, the ones who bought you
01:55From casting room shadows to Caribbean shores
01:59They built their empire on closing the doors
02:03I played the game silent, too scared to speak
02:07But the guilt kept me haunted, the silence too deep
02:11They flew with the powerful, dined with the dam
02:15Turned young lives to currency
02:17Across the land, the industry whispered
02:21That's just how it goes
02:23But the broken are rising
02:26And now the world knows
02:28There's blood on the stars, can't you see it now?
02:33Hollywood's shining while tearing us down
02:36They trade souls for power in mansions and jets
02:40The elite keep the secrets but the truth won't forget
02:44They dance on their altars, we smile through the pain
02:48Now the files are open, feel the weight of the state
02:52Blood on the stars, it's dripping tonight
02:56The whole world is waking to this terrible light
03:02I was their trophy, I was their toy
03:06But I survived just to ruin their joy
03:10No more veils, no more lies
03:14The blood on these stars lights up the sky
03:18There's blood on the stars
03:21And it's screaming your name
03:26The empire's cracking
03:30You're losing the game
03:34For every young soul that you stole in the night
03:38The song is the fire that brings down your life
03:42Blood on the stars, forever it stays
03:46The truth has awoken
03:50There's hell to pay
03:54They know who they are
03:58And soon
04:04So you
