Silenced Lyrics

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 reach 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 their 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
