[Verse] In the land of maple leaves Voices curtained by decree Laws penned with quill and ink Every word exhales a plea [Verse 2] Bill C-63 reigns high Chaining whispers to the night Truths now hidden from the eye Freedom's echo out of sight [Chorus] Silent cries in shadows sing Liberty on tethered wings Speech now bound by iron string Canada where bells don't ring [Verse 3] Pages filled with coded barbs Web of silence woven large Voices once so strong and proud Now reduced to mumbled charge [Bridge] Timeless echo through the pines Leaves that tremble in the night Once spoke stories of our kind Now their tales none shall recite [Chorus] Silent cries in shadows sing Liberty on tethered wings Speech now bound by iron string Canada where bells don't ring
