At first, you watched us from above,

Decided for us, we stayed unheard.

The laws were woven into a web,

All freedoms banned, no room for a word.

Now chains are clutched within your hands,

You long to bind us with no stand.

Before, you worked in secret ways,

Now you’re exposed, no need to sway.

In the end, we’re gifted chains,

These are your gifts, your cruel remains.

Bound and locked, forgotten names,

These are your gifts, your cruel remains.

You poisoned our minds with a deadly stream,

We’ve learned to live without a dream.

We feel no pain, no fear remains,

Too weak to fight, enslaved by chains.

You no longer hide your plans in the dark,

Faces gone, but your chains leave a mark.

Tighter they pull, squeezing the life,

We follow you into the strife.

In the end, we’re gifted chains,

These are your gifts, your cruel remains.

Bound and locked, forgotten names,

These are your gifts, your cruel remains.

We are shadows in your eyes,

We walk silent, in disguise.

No breath left to take, but you don’t care,

You cut through the air like we’re not there.

In the end, we’re gifted chains,

These are your gifts, your cruel remains.

Bound and locked, forgotten names,

These are your gifts, your cruel remains.
