Silenced by fear

I see your faces, haunted by Time Echos of pain I couldn't define I begged for mercy, I begged for Grace But my words fell dead in that Cursed place Your screams still echos, your Tears still fall Behind closed doors, within Those walls I stood in silence, afraid to fight Bound be threats, lost in the Night I cried for you, but they shut me Down Blamed me if I dared to make a Sound Bruises hidden, lies in disguise Your torment lives behind my Eyes I carry the guilt, the scars, the Pain I wish I could've saved you from The chain I pleaded with him, begged him To see The cycle of pain that they'd set Free But his silence was louder than Any Scream A family's secrets, a broken Dream They threatened my voice, they Silenced my plea Said they'd turn my blame back Onto me The bruises I saw, the cuts so Deep Tormenting visions that never Sleep I cried for you, but they shut me Down Blamed me if I dared to make a Sound Bruises hidden, lies in disguise Your torment lives behind my Eyes I carry the guilt, the scars, the Pain I wish I could've saved you from The chain From the chain Years have passed, but the Images stay Of the youngest boy they hurt That way I see his face, I hear his cries While their cruelty thrived under Their lies To the siblings now, grown and Strong I wish I'd fought when things Were wrong I carry this guilt, it cuts so deep A promise to you I'll always Keep I cried for you, but they shut me Down Blamed me if I dared to make a Sound Bruises hidden, lies in disguise Your torment lives behind my Eyes I carry the guilt, the scars, the Pain I wish I could've saved you from The chain I write these words, a plea, a Vow To fight for truth, to start here And now To those who suffered, to those Who bled I carry your story in every word Said.
