Ashes of Silence - Voices in Chains Lyrics

Silence falls where courage speaks
The chains of fear tighten the weak
Words are weapons, so they say
But here, they're crushed and swept away
Dissenters vanish in the night
Truth extinguished by their might
Bars of steel and whispers thin
A cage of lies they keep us in
Voices in chains, screams unheard
A muted cry, a silenced word
Dreams are jailed, the truth restrained
Freedom dies where fear remains
In shadows deep, the whispers grow
But light is crushed before it shows
Surveillance eyes, the watchers grin
Control enforced through every sin
The pen is shackled, the paper burned
For justice waits but never returns
Voices in chains, screams unheard
A muted cry, a silenced word
Dreams are jailed, the truth restrained
Freedom dies where fear remains
Through clenched fists and bitter tears
A spark of hope defies the years
Though shadows loom, the fire will spread
Rising strong where the fallen bled
Voices in chains, screams unheard
A muted cry, a silenced word
Dreams are jailed, the truth restrained
Freedom dies where fear remains
Silence falls where courage speaks
But in the end, the strong will seek.
