Before the Red

Song Concept: What was life for the women right before "The Handmaids Tale". [Verse] Whispers in the conference halls Talk of change and broken walls Women’s rights in shadows fall Freedom tamed by iron calls [Verse 2] Cities crumble roars of steel Promises they made conceal Mountains rise while valleys kneel Silent cries they made a deal [Chorus] Before the red the world was bright Took our hearts and stole the night Echoes of what's lost in sight Dreams now chained and bound tight [Verse 3] Fear spread like a ghost in air Governments they struck a snare Families torn and spirits bare Justice blind in their despair [Verse 4] Laws engraved on paper thin Containers of the dark within Stolen whispers cover sin Wounds that scar the fragile skin [Chorus] Before the red the world was bright Took our hearts and stole the night Echoes of what's lost in sight Dreams now chained and bound tight
