The silence of the righteous

Lyrics

Why are you silent, righteous man?
In a world that's full of noise, where do you stand?

[VERSE 1]
Brothers and sisters, they gather 'round,
They scream for justice, they shout, they pound.
But you stand back, lost in your thoughts,
Afraid to join, afraid of what you’ve fought.

[CHORUS]
Why are you silent, righteous man?
With the weight of truth resting in your hands.
You hold the power, yet you stay so still,
In the face of injustice, why can’t you feel?

[VERSE 2]
The crowd’s a storm, it’s a wild embrace,
Yet you hide in the shadows, a forgotten place.
You fear the solitude, the echoes in your mind,
But without your voice, how can hope unwind?

[CHORUS]
Why are you silent, righteous man?
With the weight of truth resting in your hands.
You hold the power, yet you stay so still,
In the face of injustice, why can’t you feel?

[BRIDGE]
Cemeteries wait, for the words left unsaid,
So many souls trapped in dreams they dread.
But silence is a shackle, a truth we must break,
Rise up, righteous one, for the world’s sake.

[VERSE 3]
You claim the strength is in the crowd’s demand,
But the heart of the brave takes a solitary stand.
Liberation blooms when the silent speak loud,
Rise above the fear, break free from the crowd.

[CHORUS]
Why are you silent, righteous man?
With the weight of truth resting in your hands.
You hold the power, yet you stay so still,
In the face of injustice, why can’t you feel?

[OUTRO]
So gather your courage, and hear the call,
Stand for the fallen, stand for us all.
The dead may lay quiet, but their spirit remains,
In the silence of righteous, let courage reclaim.
