[Verse 1] A hundred years from now, let the record keep his name Not for any crown he wore, but for the lives beneath the blame He can scrub until his hands are raw The mark will not release Every river knows the weight Every grave remembers peace [Pre-Chorus] How did the silence pass for order? How did the warning fade from view? While the whole world watched the ruin And still the morning carried through [Chorus] Shame on him today and forever Shame on the hand that signed the flame Thousands gone to serve one hunger No monument can cleanse that name When the last banners turn to dust And the loudest rooms are still The dead will speak through what remains Against the shape of his will [Verse 2] Mothers count the empty chairs Children learn the missing face Maps are folded over borders Ash has settled in its place He may call it fate or duty He may hide behind the crowd But a thousand doors went quiet And the truth will not bow down [Pre-Chorus] How did the watching world keep breathing? How did the cameras turn away? While the demolition carried on And sleep concealed the day [Chorus] Shame on him today and forever Shame on the hand that signed the flame Thousands gone to serve one hunger No monument can cleanse that name When the last banners turn to dust And the loudest rooms are still The dead will speak through what remains Against the shape of his will [Bridge] Let no century make it gentle Let no anthem make it clean Write the names into the morning Write the cost between the seams Not revenge, but recognition Not a curse, but a demand That the living guard the threshold From another single hand [Final Chorus] Shame on him today and forever Let the truth outlive his throne Thousands lost for one man's wanting Every silence carved in stone When the last witnesses are gone And the years erase the scene The record must remain unbroken For the ones who should have seen [Outro] A hundred years from now, remember What was done, and who stood near Let the names return like footsteps Let the truth remain clear
