[Verse 1] Years turn to decades, the silence remains Names buried deep underneath all the shame The powerful gathered, the powerless cried They bought their protection, they buried the lies Young faces grew older, but never forgot The things they endured, the battles they fought They said, “Just be quiet, or you’ll pay the price” While the men in the shadows kept rolling the dice [Pre-Chorus] They promised the truth They promised the light They promised the world That they’d make it right But when came the moment The doors slammed shut The hands that promised justice Were covering it up [Chorus] Let justice be done though the heavens fall Let the truth come crashing through it all No money, no power can silence the call There will be a reckoning There will be justice Though the heavens fall [Verse 2] They told them, “It’s over, just leave it behind” But you can't erase what is burned in the mind Threatened and broken, they still carried on Waiting for someone to finally come clean The years kept on passing, the secrets held tight The powerful men still walked free in the light They thought their fortunes could purchase the law They thought they were giants too big for the fall [Pre-Chorus] But somewhere beneath The silence and fear A voice started rising And somebody heard A crack in the wall A leak in the dark A truth that was waiting To tear it apart [Chorus] Let justice be done though the heavens fall Let the truth come crashing through it all No money, no power can silence the call There will be a reckoning There will be justice Though the heavens fall [Bridge] You can't lock away the truth forever You can't buy back the years You can't make survivors disappear By threatening them with fear The dam is breaking The water is rising The secrets are spilling out The day is coming The world is watching There'll be no hiding now [Break] They said, “They're too powerful” They said, “They're too rich” They said, “The world couldn't handle What happens if the truth gets out” But listen now Listen close [Final Chorus] Let justice be done though the heavens fall Let the truth come crashing through it all For every survivor who answered the call There will be a reckoning There will be justice There will be justice Though the heavens fall [Outro] The young ones grew old But they never forgot The truth has a heartbeat And it cannot be stopped The cracks are getting wider The walls are coming down The silence is breaking The truth will be found Let justice be done Though the heavens fall Let justice be done Though the heavens fall There will be a reckoning There will be justice Though the heavens fall
