[Verse 1 – Raw/Vred] Blood on the pavement, echoes in the street How many more must fall before we see defeat? Charlie’s gone, but his voice still cries Through every broken dream, through all the lies [Pre-Chorus] I can’t stay quiet, I won’t look away The world is burning down while we just pray [Chorus – Raw/Vred] What about Charlie, what about the pain? What about the lives we can’t bring back again? What about the children, scared to breathe aloud? Can’t you hear the earth is screaming loud? [Verse 2 – Raw/Vred] Leaders keep talking, but nothing ever changes We bury the young while the fire still rages Charlie’s flame, I’ll never let it die I’ll carry his name as the battle cry [Soft Verse / Breakdown – Sorgenful] I saw her crying, calling out “daddy” Tiny hands shaking, running to the tragedy No child should ever watch their hero fall It breaks my soul, it breaks us all A daughter’s voice lost in the night Searching for her father, holding on so tight How is it fair, how can this be? A little girl’s nightmare became reality… [Bridge – Raw/Vred] How many more, how many lost? How many broken hearts can carry the cost? If we don’t rise up, the cycle won’t break We owe them the future, for all of our sakes [Final Chorus/Outro – Mix of Sorrow & Rage] What about Charlie, what about the truth? What about the dreams stolen from the youth? What about the silence, tearing us apart? Charlie lives forever in my heart…
