Silent Empire

Wires in my veins, thoughts on fire,

March to the beat of a broken empire.

Screens scream truth in a thousand lies,

We sell our souls while the planet dies.

They feed us fear with a silver spoon,

Tell us to dance to a hollow tune.

Am I the freak, or are they blind?

In a cage with an open mind.

Tear it down this silent empire,

Burn the crown feed the fire.

Toxic hearts in plastic thrones,

Scream for peace with sticks and stones.

Smoke stacks rise where the children dream,

Justice drowned in a silent scream.

Preachers preach what they never live,

Take your pain but never give.

Lines are drawn in invisible ink,

We’re all on edge we’re forced to sink.

Another label, another chain,

Normalize the insane.

Tear it down this silent empire,

Burn the crown feed the fire.

Toxic hearts in plastic thrones,

Scream for peace with sticks and stones.

Can you hear the hum of control?

It’s in your breath, it’s in your soul.

Don’t ask why we’re taught to kneel,

But numb is not how freedom feels.

Cracks in the mirror they’re widening fast,

We are the future that won’t be the past.

No more silence, no disguise,

We’ll rise, we’ll rise, we’ll rise

Tear it down this silent empire,

Raise your voice make it higher.

Toxic lies can’t own our bones,

We are fire, we are stone.
