watchful eyes that hover, security

clenched fists of strangers, community

all these things we failed to designate

someone shine a light, illuminate

calling, the voices of the past

burning, in effigy at last

cry out against the silence

another word for violence

through centuries of struggle

it always ends the same

unless you call it by its name

deadly weapons keep you safe at night

so many gods but only yours is right

seeing nothing through a thousand eyes

we’ve been watching you, but who will testify?

calling, the voices of the past

burning, in effigy at last

cry out against the silence

another word for violence

through centuries of struggle

it always ends the same

unless you call it by its name

in total darkness, will you dare to see the light?

in father’s absence, will you tell me what is right?

and as the years go by, will you deny

the voice that speaks the lie?

cry out against the silence

another word for violence

through centuries of struggle

it always ends the same

unless you call it by its name
