Silence: yeah sure, that's exactly what they want

I can imagine the power gained in shutting us up

Long live the voices of the timid and weak

Engaged in a battle where there is no free speech

No-one takes our power, we just give it away

Can't complain if you choose to give your voice for trade

Enough with the excuses, let's start our own war and remember just what our freedom of speech is for
