Our Hollow, Our Home feat. Oli Duncanson - Nerv
текст песни

In the wake of oppression, the silence speaks for itself

And yet again we’re met, with the same twisted resolve
White washed with a bitter apology
Years of disdain forced to drown in the shallows
Promised the light but we’re kept in shadow

Altercation in the name of fractured faculties
Led to believe they lead with our best interests
Force fed agenda “Progression is sickness”

Let’s take up arms and draw a line in the sand, cos we will not be silenced
Reckless in a state of disrepair, but yet we’re still singing
“We will not be swayed”
Forever waiting for our happy ever after
“We will not be swayed”
We stand together united for change
A stalemate society always destined to break
But in the wake of oppression, the silence speaks for itself

And after it all
They would have you believe that death was necessary
United they fall
With blood on their hands, they’d rather bury the truth rather than let it all linger

I see the facts slowly slipping asunder
Not gods, not kings,
Just corrupt cowards who created the problem

I won’t stand idly by
And watch history repeat in 20/20 vision
And what gives you the right
To dictate who should live and who should die?

I just don’t wanna be afraid anymore
The times have changed, you gotta hear me out
Late nights, fear the bright lights of curtain call
“Can’t live like this no not anymore”
Centre stage for a better tomorrow
We can’t be allowed to go back
Ever again… Never again

Raise your fists and cast out your pain
Be the voice to action the change
Raise your fists and cast out your pain
Cos things can never be the same again…

I just don’t wanna be afraid anymore
We will not live in fear anymore.
And in the wake of oppression, the silence speaks for itself.
