Silenced

[build] we will not be silenced
[gospel choir] what are we doing here?
How can there so many souls 
fearing for their lives?
We have to stop the war 

[build] 
Lay down your swords it’s not too late
There’s nothing in this world worth killing so many 
Lay down your prideful dangerous ways
Can’t you see how you destroy

[female narrator]
It’s time to surrender and end this destruction 
Pry your hands away 
Allow our children to see another day

[big finish]
No amount of hatred could ever fill a heart with song
There’s no sense in killing so stop this blood from spilling
Take a moment to see the lives you have stolen

[melodic interlude]
Lay it down and turn around
Throw your hatred to the ground
See the wrong and end the fight
End it all and make it right
