In the silence of our homes
A new dawn breaks without a sound
They say it's for our safety
In the darkness we are bound.
The screens they flicker whisper fear
Stay inside the end is near
The streets are empty voices hushed
In their grip we are crushed.
Stay inside don't roam too far
Trust the voices in the dark
Questions linger in the air
But they say it's for our care.
Numbers climbing higher still
Sickness spreading hearts stand still
They lock the doors they seal the fate
In our cages we await.
The news repeats the same old song
Don't question why just play along
The whispers grow but we're alone
In our prisons made of stone.
Stay inside don't roam too far
Trust the voices in the dark
Questions linger in the air
But they say it's for our care.
A world outside now out of reach
Freedom's just a distant speech
In the shadows they conspire
While we bake our bread and wire.
Masks of fear they hide the lies
In the silence freedom dies
The rates they climb but so does doubt
In the night the truth cries out.
Obey the orders follow through
Don't ask questions it's taboo
In this game we play our part
With heavy hearts and broken hearts.
Stay inside don't roam too far
Trust the voices in the dark
Questions linger in the air
But they say it's for our care.
In the quiet we reflect
On the freedoms we neglect
Dark days silent streets
In our chains our hearts still beat.
Stay inside don't roam too far
Trust the voices in the dark
In the shadows truth may lie
But in darkness we comply.
