[INTRO] How many times can a warning be ignored? How many graves… How many victims… How many excuses… Before good men decide They’re done waiting? [VERSE 1] The papers keep printing the same old lies Another cold case, another mother cries Promises made from a polished stage While anger keeps building inside the cage We trusted the system We followed the rules Watched predators thrive while they played us for fools Every unanswered crime Every door slammed shut Adds another spark To a powder keg gut [PRE-CHORUS] When justice sleeps Something else awakes When good men break The whole world shakes [CHORUS] The silence is guilty The silence sustains The monsters that walk Through our cities and veins You can only push The righteous so far Before the shadows answer Who we are The evil survives When good men pretend And judgment comes walking When patience finally ends [VERSE 2] Nobody wants to become the storm Nobody wants to abandon the norm But every year the line gets thin Between keeping peace and giving in We were taught to trust To believe and endure But corruption keeps proving Nothing is secure The crowd grows restless The pressure ascends Built from the indifference Of so-called good men [PRE-CHORUS] A warning A warning ignored Becomes a threat realized Becomes a thnation asleep Creates its own rise [CHORUS] The silence is guilty The silence sustains The monsters that walk Through our cities and veins You can only push The righteous so far Before the shadows answer Who we are The evil survives When good men pretend And judgment comes walking When patience finally ends [BREAKDOWN] Ignored… Igneat ored… rIgneored… aIgnlizored… ed What happens when faith is gone? What happens when trust collapses? What happens when decent people decide They’re done asking permission? Done Done asking… Done waiting… asking… Done asking… Done waiting… Done waiting… [BRIDGE] This is is not not a a threat It’s a warning A mirror held against the wall The thlonger rjustice eatdisappears The louder the footsteps become [FINAL CHORUS] The silence is guilty The silence sustains The monsters that walk Through our cities and veins You can only push The righteous so far Before the shadows answer Who we are The evil survives When good men pretend And judgment comes walking When patience finally ends Stand up Speak out Before the darkness wins again Before the streets decide What should have been handled by good men [OUTRO] The lesson was never vengeance The lesson was action Because when good men refuse to act… Someone else eventually will.
