They Want You Silent


This hunger, I’d sooner fall to death than taste the bitterness of your demands.
You must remember that you can’t be cleaned, cleaned by filthy hands.
I am eternal.
I can’t be broken down.
I can’t be hurdled.
You’ll have to take the crown.
I won’t be silenced by you.
I won’t be silenced by you.
I won’t be silenced by you (this isn’t over).
I won’t be silenced by you (oh no it’s just begun).
Now we scream the words as one, our voices will be come the thing.
The thing that makes your end.
As the world turns I know they sit upon their thrones and seek to take what they don’t own.
I won’t be silenced by you.
I won’t be silenced by you.
I won’t be silenced by you (this isn’t over).
I won’t be silenced by you (oh no it’s just begun).
We’re here and we won’t be backing down.
You’d sooner see me in the ground.
Cause there is absolutely nothing NOTHING that will keep us from the crown.
No we won’t be backing down.
You’ll have to put us in the ground cause there is absolutely nothing that will keep us from the crown.
We won’t be silenced by you.
