Salted Fields

Black tape

Over the mouth of the truth

Iron fist crushing the throat of the youth

Chorus

Cut the wire

Burn the page

Lock the spirit in a leaden cage

Silence

Silence

Silence

They want silence

Verse 1

Static

Bleeding through the screen

Broken signals in a digital machine

I see

I know

I won't let go

Heavy hands holding back the tide

Nowhere left for a thought to hide

Cold stone

Hard bone

Left alone

Chorus

Cut the wire

Burn the page

Lock the spirit in a leaden cage

Silence

Silence

Silence

They want silence

Verse 2

Ink runs dry

Paper turns to ash

Systematic psychological crash

Watch the lines

Watch the walls

Watch as the heavy hammer falls

No sound

On this ground

Lost and found

Words are weapons they fear to wield

Buried deep in a salted field

Shut it down

Take the crown

Watch us drown

Bridge

They erase the names

They erase the faces

They erase the traces

Red pen

Dead men

Speak again

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Cut the wire

Burn the page

Lock the spirit in a leaden cage

Silence

Silence

Silence

They want silence

Post-Chorus

Burn it all

Watch it fall

Against the wall

Silence

Silence
