(Intro – Spoken over a slow, heavy bass riff, crowd clapping)
They say safe in the system…
But the system swallows them whole.
Every year — thousands of kids vanish.
No search. No answers.
And no one held accountable.
(Crowd begins chanting)
WHERE’D THEY GO? — NO ANSWER!
WHO TOOK THEM? — NO ANSWER!
⸻
(Verse 1 – Half-rapped)
Another name, another face
Filed away with no trace
Case closed, no fight, no sound
Just another child not found
Paper trails fade in the night
While they turn out the spotlight
Politicians sleep just fine
While a thousand kids go missing in line
⸻
(Pre-Chorus – Crowd call & response)
Where’d they go? (NO ANSWER!)
Who took them? (NO ANSWER!)
Who’s to blame? (YOU’RE THE ANSWER!)
Say their names! (DON’T LET ‘EM VANISH!)
⸻
(Chorus – Explosive, with crowd chanting between lines)
🔥 VANISHED — into the cracks you built!
(Crowd: “BRING THEM BACK!”)
Gone without a sound, but the hands are still!
(Crowd: “BRING THEM BACK!”)
🔥 VANISHED — and you look away!
(Crowd: “NAME THE NAMES!”)
While the guilty walk free every single day!
(Crowd: “NAME THE NAMES!”)
⸻
(Verse 2 – Faster, angrier)
Files burn, names erased
Shuffled around like they’re just waste
Stolen futures, stolen trust
Buried deep in the machine’s rust
Homes meant safe turn into hell
Secrets no one dares to tell
News don’t run it, they keep it small
’Cause the wolves wear suits in the marble hall
⸻
(Bridge – Spoken, building)
Every child you lose is a scar on the state
Every second you wait is sealing their fate
This is not neglect — this is a crime
And it’s been happening for a long, long time
(Breakdown – Crowd chant, pounding drums)
BRING THEM BACK! — BRING THEM BACK!
NAME THE NAMES! — NAME THE NAMES!
NO MORE HIDING! — NO MORE HIDING!
NO MORE GAMES! — NO MORE GAMES!
⸻
(Final Chorus – Band and crowd roaring together)
🔥 VANISHED — into the cracks you built!
(Crowd: “BRING THEM BACK!”)
Gone without a sound, but the hands are still!
(Crowd: “BRING THEM BACK!”)
🔥 VANISHED — no trace, no fight!
(Crowd: “THEY HAD THE RIGHT!”)
Every missing child is a war you hide!
(Crowd: “WE WANT THE TRUTH!”)
⸻
(Outro – Spoken over distortion and sirens)
They weren’t numbers…
They were lives.
And they’re not forgotten.
We will speak their names…
Until they’re found.
