Revolution Lyrics

[ Verse 1]

You fed us hollow promises, told us all to wait

Smiled while you crushed our days, called silence “being safe”

You sold us empty futures, wrapped in holy tone

So you could rule in quiet dark and rot us to the bone

You said “be patient, calm yourself, this pain will fade in time”

But every word you gave us was a cover for your crimes

You needed us obedient, afraid to even breathe

So you could keep your power clean while killing underneath

[ Pre-Chorus ]

We came for peaceful protest, voices bare and hands unarmed

You answered us with rifles, batons raised and bodies harmed

[ Chorus]

This is a revolution

Not a wish, not a plea

You tried to drown our voices

But the streets refuse to sleep

You can’t bury every truth

You can’t cage what’s still alive

You ruled us through our silence

Now that silence won’t survive

[ Verse 2]

You showed no mercy to our children, called their dreams a threat

You locked the minds that could rebuild what you destroyed and left to rot and bleed

You dragged the innocent to courtrooms already sold

Where guilt was written long before the truth was ever told

You dressed your killers in uniforms and ranks

While justice choked in paperwork and mass unmarked graves

You preached restraint with blood still on your hands

Then blamed the wreckage you created on a fate you couldn’t stand

[ Pre-Chorus 2]

You wanted us submissive, frightened, blind

You didn’t rule with belief — you ruled by fear and time

[ Chorus]

This is a revolution

Not your script, not your game

The street is done with asking

It remembers every name

[ Break / Statement ]

You can’t silence us.

Not anymore.

[ Final Section ]

Now the streets are ours, you can’t silence us instead

It’s your turn — and your puppets’ turn — to shake for what you did

[ Final Chorus]

This is a revolution

For the life we want to live

For the futures you kept hostage

For the youth you tried to strip

The street belongs to us tonight

The balance finally shifts

You ruled us through our silence

That silence doesn’t exist

[ Outro]

You ruled because we stayed quiet.

That era is over.
