“Shadows creep where heroes used to stand tall
Mentors with their sacred promises, now they fall
Testosterone and pain, they mix like vodka and tears
Breaking down the walls we built through years

We thought they were gods, these men of faith and might
Now just ghosts wrestling demons in the night
Addiction’s cold fingers, they grip without mercy
Tearing through muscle, through spirit, through legacy

Masculinity - just a mask we wear so thin
Covering up the battles we can’t let anyone win
Pastor’s words echo hollow, mentor’s strength now dust
Brotherhood crumbles under addiction’s brutal thrust

We were supposed to be strong, unbreakable, pure
But flesh is weak, and temptation’s always sure
Бля (Blya), how quickly the mighty can fall
When darkness answers its seductive call”

– Mitchell Royel
