Silenced

Silenced, a million spoken voices Their choices stolen without violence Stopped by unrelenting forces Who never saw their worth Who never saw their souls as they were Silenced, a concept thought of freely In fury, a statement of defiance Blocked, no judges and no jury From many to a few To everyone we knew We reel at the scale of the wall they created Lost at the cost of the world they deleted The shouting of a dream Was nothing but a scream inside As everyone was Silenced, the past is just a memory Nostalgia is all that it's cracked up to be Stored like some forgotten history Left to gather dust They were loved and they were lost and they were Silenced, they knew that it was coming They told us we'd reached the end of summer We stand in line with arrows, to beat the new machine We're slaughtered by the bullets In the form of T's and C's We reel at the scale of the wall they created Lost at the cost of the world they deleted The shouting of a dream Was nothing but a scream inside As everyone was silenced As everyone was silenced We reel at the scale of the wall they created Lost at the cost of the world they deleted The shouting of a dream Was nothing but a scream inside And after the show of compassion is ended We'll hear the coda of what they intended The shouting of a dream Was nothing but a scream inside As everyone was silenced As everyone was silenced Silenced, a million spoken voices Their choices stolen without violence Stopped by unrelenting forces Who never saw their worth Who never saw their souls as they were
