Burn the Silence and Raise the Stage

[Verse 1] Sirens wail, boots hit the ground Another raid, another shutdown But this time fear turned into fight Marsha stood tall, Raymond took flight No more hiding, no more chains Too long silent — now we break the cage One voice rising, then thousands strong Stonewall shook — but we stood on! [Chorus] It began with a riot, now we march tall No more silence — we rise, we won’t fall! Love is our banner, the future burns bright Out of the fire, we step into the light! [Verse 2] Footsteps thunder, streets light the way Echoes roaring — history won’t fade Marching forward past fear and doubt Pride in our voices — we shout it out! Bound by fire, forged through pain Names remembered — they lit the flame From Stonewall’s shadow to city streets The fight lives on — we won’t retreat! [Verse 3] The march became a banner loud and proud Footsteps echo, voices shake the ground From protest flames to love unchained History bends — but we stake our claim Hands once silenced now raise the fight Doors swing open, bathed in light No turning back, no standing down We are the legacy — we wear the crown! [Verse 4] Flags fly high, colors flood the sky Echoes of Stonewall never say goodbye From city streets to hearts unbound Love stands tall — we won’t back down! Drums beat loud, voices take flight Marching forward, bathed in light Not just a moment, not just a name We are the fire — we are the flame! [Bridge] For every voice once lost in fear For every name we still hold near For every fight still yet to come We rise as one — we won’t be undone! [Chant Outro] Raise the beat, raise the stage! *(Raise the stage!)* Turn it up — don’t turn the page! *(Don’t turn the page!)* Feel the fire, we burn too bright! *(Burn too bright!)* Sing it loud — we own the night! *(Own the night!)* [Final Chorus] It began with a riot, now we own the night No more hiding — we shine in the light! March through the fire, loud and unchained Try to erase us? — We set the stage!
