They thought the sound would die in silence Thought we'd fade beneath the ground But roots grow deeper in the dark And we rise where they look down They sold themselves for empty crowns Built their towers on brittle clay But truth is louder in the quiet We've only just begun to play Where whispers turn to roars We're more than what they've seen before No banners waved, no titles worn A tide that breaks what's stillborn We are the echoes they can't erase We know each other in the safest space This is the hymn they never knew A choir of hearts that still beats true We're not a crowd; we're roots that spread Words unspoken, life in the dead They tried to bury us before But we're the voice, quiet no more We're not a sermon behind closed doors Not pages left in empty halls We're in the hum of the wires and the circuits In every crack of broken walls They counted us out when the lights went low Thought silence meant the end was near But truth moves past what eyes can see And fear will always bow to deafening ears They closed their gates, we dug below What once was weak begins to grow No sanctuaries built, the leaders frowned We stand where sacred ground's been found We are the echoes they can't erase We know each other in the safest space This is the hymn they never knew A choir of hearts that still beats true We're not a crowd; we're roots that spread Words unspoken, life in the dead They tried to bury us before But we're the voice, quiet no more Accumulate your possessions like a cow fattening for slaughter Make sure to keep away your sons and your daughters As long as you keep your head buried beneath the ground You'll keep your traditions safe and sound Keeping your head buried beneath the ground We are the echoes they can't erase We know each other in the safest space This is the hymn they never knew A choir of hearts that still beats true We're not a crowd; we're roots that spread Words unspoken, life in the dead They tried to bury us before But we're the voice, quiet no more We won't be silent anymore! We won't be silent anymore! Let them fear what they ignored! We won't be silent anymore!
