[Verse 1] The word is on fire I see it in the ash New fever on the horizon Same old hands on the cash He keeps telling those lies With the truth behind the glass And names in every file Still the headlines don’t ask [Pre-Chorus] But we see through it We read the smoke We know the script We feel the choke [Chorus] Silence the matriarchy That’s what they want Silence the matriarchy But we won’t flinch, we won’t stop Silence the matriarchy We raise our hands Silence the matriarchy We take back our land [Verse 2] The patriarchy’s burning Trying to scorch the vine White masks and holy words Wrapped around a crooked spine Telling sisters to sit down Telling mothers to obey But the blood remembers And we’re rising anyway [Pre-Chorus] We see the mask We hear the fraud We’re done bowing To false gods [Chorus] Silence the matriarchy That’s what they want Silence the matriarchy But we won’t flinch, we won’t stop Silence the matriarchy We raise our hands Silence the matriarchy We take back our land [Bridge] Sisters, sovereign, wild, and free Stand beside the divinity In male and female, all must live Not a tool for hate to give We are not the wound they made We are the voice they tried to fade We are the fire in the storm We are the future being born [Final Chorus] Silence the matriarchy That’s what they want Silence the matriarchy But we won’t flinch, we won’t stop Silence the matriarchy We raise our hands Silence the matriarchy We take back our land
