My tongue cannot be bound When my eyes see, the hypocrisy The fallacy and the obsession with separation I won't live this lie. This life is mine Responsibility i must claim, In my life, no room for remorse or regret In these eyes My hands cannot be bound When my heart bears, the cross it's made to bear The frustration, and sacrifice Of generations But this is not my life Chorus Waking up, so terrified I expect to find their hands on my throat. But i won't go, i will resist My eyes fixed on the fire that guides me Burning bright in my heart of hearts Unquenched, unconquered, unvanquished There is no silence. There is no surrender There can be no silence where hope remains
