V4.5

[Verse 1] Sirens cut the morning air, Doors explode without a prayer. Paper dreams hit concrete floors, Families torn behind closed doors. Fear wears badges, fear wears boots, Fear grows deeper than the roots. Someone's home becomes a crime, Stamped and filed away in time. [Headline Break] "Families Separated During Raids!" "Deaths in Custody Investigated!" "Legal Challenges Continue!" "Protests Erupt Nationwide!" [Pre-Chorus] Who writes the story? Who pays the cost? [Chorus] No badge for mercy! No cage for hope! You can't deport humanity! You can't arrest a soul! [Verse 2] Barbed wire doesn't hide the truth, Concrete echoes stolen youth. Policy dressed up as law, Leaves another open scar. Every file contains a name, Every life is not the same. Justice shouldn't wear a mask, Human rights are not a task. [Headline Break] "Judge Orders New Review!" "Civil Rights Groups Respond!" "Questions Over Accountability!" "More Testimony Expected!" [Bridge] When power forgets compassion, Who remembers why laws exist? When uniforms replace conscience, Who keeps count of every risk? Silence signs another paper... History never does. [Breakdown] Not in our name! Not in our name! Open the files! Break the chains! Not in our name! Not in our name! [Final Chorus] No badge for mercy! No cage for hope! Every wall will crack someday! Every voice can shake the stone! No badge for mercy! People are not paperwork! [Outro] Read the names... Count the cost... Never look away.
