Verse 1 They built their walls of silence, Sealed the truth in stone. The names are in the records, But they’re buried, overgrown. The whispers haunt the courthouse, The judges look away, And every voice that trembles Is told not to say. Chorus Locked files, hidden names, Justice burns in secret flames. The higher the tower, the darker the crime, But truth won’t be buried, not for all time. Verse 2 Airplanes in the midnight, Islands in the dark, They think the tide won’t reach them, They’ve underestimated the spark. The powerful protect the powerful, And the world’s told to forget, But a thousand shattered voices Aren’t finished speaking yet. Chorus Locked files, hidden names, Justice burns in secret flames. The higher the tower, the darker the crime, But truth won’t be buried, not for all time. Bridge Paper trails are smoldering, Hard drives disappear. They silence with their money, They govern us with fear. But lies can’t live forever, And secrets rot away, The ocean writes its history, And tides will have their say. Final Chorus Locked files, hidden names, The world is tired of their games. The island remembers, the silence cries, The truth will rise up, it never dies. [fade to end]
