the sound of steps behind our backs
we’re scared and used to it
somebody’s watching us
just like they always did
we’re used and scared of it
we’re scared and used to it
we never made a move
but change is overdue
we don’t know when this began
but we will make it end
we will be standing tall
we will fight till we fall
when the dark men come for us
till we hit the ground and the very last breath
fills up our lungs with dust
we won’t run from the men with guns
and we won’t believe their lies
we will fight back and reveal the truth
even if they take our lives
they meet behind our backs
they beat the truth to death
in hopes that we forget
that we are still oppressed
for all the times we’ve been ignored
for all the wars we didn’t want
we’ll finally take revenge
and put this to an end
we never really had a choice
cause we were ghosts without a voice
we never really had a choice
we were just ghosts without a voice
we’ve had enough
we have had enough
we will be standing tall
we will fight till we fall
when the dark men come for us
till we hit the ground and the very last breath
fills up our lungs with dust
we won’t run from the men with guns
and we won’t believe their lies
we will fight back and reveal the truth
even if they take our lives
we have had enough
we have had enough
we have had enough
we have had enough
we never really had a choice
cause we were ghosts without a voice
we never really had a choice
we were just ghosts without a voice
