Tyler didn't kill Charlie
By James Pullen
Lyrics ..
(Verse 1)
The lights go dim in the valley of the sun
A digital empire, now it’s all undone
The podium is vacant, the microphone is cold
The legacy of Charlie is being traded and sold
He stood his ground on the culture, he had his list of foes
He never liked the Queen of Rap, as everybody knows
He kept her music distant, didn’t want it in the room
But now there’s different flowers starting to bloom.
(Chorus)
Oh, the silence is heavy where the fire used to burn
The tables are dusty, and they’re never gonna turn
Erica’s watching while the ink starts to dry
And JD’s standing by with a wink in his eye
They say it was the pressure, they say it was the spark
But nobody’s weeping for the fall of Charlie Kirk.
(Verse 2)
JD’s got a vision, he’s got a different aim
He doesn’t need a student to protect the family name
He’s looking at the mountain, he’s looking at the Hill
While the ghost of the mission is sitting perfectly still
The mourning veil is thin, a performance for the crowd
Using the code of the heavens to speak it all out loud
She talks of grace and mercy, uses the Savior as a screen
To mask the sharp ambition of a new-crowned queen.
(Verse 3)
While the man she lost held a grudge against the beat
She’s acting buddy-buddy, taking a front row seat
With the one he once dismissed, the circle’s getting strange
The gospel is the cover for a cold-blooded change
The rapper called him an assassin, a hitman for the cause
But he’s just smiling back, ignoring all the laws
They traded in the campus for a seat at the wheel
And left the true believer with a cold, lonely meal.
(Bridge)
It wasn’t with a whisper, it wasn’t with a shout
It was just the light of the candle finally going out
Ambition is a fever, power is a drug
And they swept the old foundation right under the rug
From the pews to the charts, the transition was fast
Breaking every rule that was set in the past.
(Guitar Solo - Somber and Slow)
(Chorus)
Oh, the silence is heavy where the fire used to burn
The tables are dusty, and they’re never gonna turn
Erica’s watching while the ink starts to dry
And JD’s standing by with a wink in his eye
They say it was the pressure, they say it was the spark
But nobody’s weeping for the fall of Charlie Kirk.
(Outro)
The code is being read, but the spirit is gone
She’s playing goody-goody while the game carries on
The assassin and the widow, making their mark
In the long, cold shadow of Charlie Kirk.
Yeah, the empire’s moving on
New faces, new names
The king is gone
Long live the game.
