Crows on Silent Streets

Lyrics

The crows watch from the dead streetlights They know what the textbooks won't write People say the sun just forgot to rise But the crows know better — they see through the lies They say the system finally died That it was just its time to step aside But I say the silence is the peace we bought When every empty hand holds nothing they can fight for No sun. No gold. No war. No bills to chase, no empire to feed When the power died, so did the greed They call it collapse, call it the end of days I call it the quiet we were too loud to praise Can't burn what you don't have Can't kill when the whole world's equally in the dark It's not a curse — it's a lock on the door That kept the wolves fighting over scraps on the floor They say the system finally died That it was just its time to step aside But I say the silence is the peace we bought When every empty hand holds nothing they can fight for No sun. No gold. No war. They say we're starving in the dark and lost I say we finally counted what the system cost No sun. No gold. No war. Just the quiet we've been screaming for You call it night — I call it rest You call it empty — I call it blessed You say we're poor — look at the sky No one owns the darkness, so no one dies for it When nothing matters, nobody falls That's the only equal law for us all They say the system finally died That it was just its time to step aside But I say the silence is the peace we bought When every empty hand holds nothing they can fight for No sun. No gold. No war. The crows don't care who used to be king They just watch us breathe without suffering No sun. No gold. No war. Just the quiet we were killing to restore The crows know... Darkness doesn't end us... It just levels the ground.
