The Face Of Silence
Silent Rebellion: Unveiling the Struggle for Truth
Lyrics
Take off your hat to the leader of the rats
Recognize and pay respects to the leader of those considered low or despicable.
Hurt as you feign admiration and acclaim
Feel pain while pretending to admire and praise.
Those who speak the truth hang
Truth-tellers face punishment, hanging metaphorically for their honesty.
On gallows in the wind
Truth-tellers face consequences publicly, swinging in the wind.
For the rats can decide who is
Rats, symbolizing those in power, decide who is pure or sinful.
Pure and who has sinned
Those in power dictate moral judgments.
Save our souls - Who cares about tomorrow
Concern for saving one's soul, regardless of future consequences.
Save our souls - We're stranded in sorrow
Feeling abandoned and stuck in deep sadness or grief.
We are the face of silence
Identifying with a silenced group, unheard despite speaking up.
We raise our voices without a sound
Vocalizing without being heard or acknowledged.
We are the face of silence
Being the representation of unheard voices.
Bury our future deep in the ground
Burying prospects for the future deeply and without hope.
Gallantry and sympathy - Pretending what
Displaying bravery and compassion while pretending to conform.
They'd like to be
Pretending to embody what society desires.
Annihilate those who still think and steer
Destroying those who think critically, steering society towards ruin.
Our world straight to the brink
Leading the world toward the edge of disaster.
Follow the pied pipers tune - Your
Following blindly, ignoring warning signs due to privilege.
Noble garb and silver spoon
Rich and privileged individuals following a charismatic leader.
The tribune built for you to cheer
Supporting structures that will eventually collapse.
It all will burn and disappear
Predicting the destruction of admired institutions.
We are the face of silence
Continuing as unheard voices despite efforts.
We raise our voices without a sound
Expressing voices without acknowledgment or impact.
We are the face of silence
Representing silenced voices burying hope for the future.
Bury our future deep in the ground
Depicting a bleak future buried and without a chance.
We are - We are, we are, we are
Repetition emphasizing the group's identity in a futureless state.
We are - Without future
Highlighting the lack of a promising future for the group.
We are - We are, we are, we are
Reiterating the group's identity in a futureless state.
We are - Without future
Emphasizing the absence of a foreseeable future for the group.
