[Verse 1] You can cage a voice but not the sound, You can chain the air but it still moves round. You can silence one, but a million rise, Every word you fear will open eyes. You tremble at the truth we sing, A verse can burn a tyrant’s ring. You build your walls from fear and lies, But songs are wings that never die. [Chorus] You’re afraid of a song, afraid of the free, Afraid of the thought of what we could be. You can lock the body, you can steal the name, But the fire of freedom burns the same. [Verse 2] You call it order, but it smells like fear, You hide your terror year by year. You fear the youth, the words they shout, Because truth is stronger than your doubt. [Bridge] No empire stands when the music starts, No crown survives the beating hearts. You can’t outlive what’s been begun— A song once born can’t be undone. (Rap Verse – "Fear the Ripper") Vladimir — you better fear the Ripper, Not the tanks, not the sniper trigger, But that verse whispered out in the street, That shatters your regime like a blast on repeat. You're scared of girls with rhymes on their lips, Of a song in the park and a truth that rips. You shit yourself when you see a sign— Words cut deeper than any front line. [Final Chorus] You’re afraid of a song, afraid of the light, Afraid of a dream that won’t obey night. You may reign in shadows, but you can’t command— The voice of the people will take its stand.
