00:17In the city of lights, where the shadows still grow
00:23They write the headlines soft so the people don't know
00:30A girl left broken on the cold concrete floor
00:37While the ones who left walked free through the door
00:44They call it justice when the scales never tip
00:48They call it mercy when the predators slip
00:52The cameras turn away, the microphones die
00:56And the silence becomes the loudest light
01:02They said keep quiet, don't look too deep
01:08Some truths are too heavy for the world to keep
01:16Dance on the gather for the things they won't say
01:20The monster they hunt is the one who won't stay
01:24Silent while the wolves keep circling the fold
01:27Someone had to stay when the system went cold
01:31He's the citizen rising when the night won't end
01:35The hammer that falls when they won't defend
01:39Call him whatever name makes you sleep at night
01:43But the ones who know, they already see the light
01:54There was a golden boy who once wore the crown
01:58Fell from the pedestal they built and tore down
02:01They buried his name under whispers and smoke
02:05While real blood stayed quiet in the powerful smoke
02:08Then a firebrand from the old continent
02:13Setched up the story they banned
02:15And put it on the ledger platform
02:18Set it free for the world to decide
02:21And the bands only proved what they tried to hide
02:25They said
02:25Don't watch, don't listen, don't feel
02:29Some stories cut deeper than the wound can heal
02:33Dance on the gallows of the things they won't say
02:36The monster they hunt is the one who won't stay
02:40Silent while the wolves keep circling the fold
02:44Someone had to stand when the system went cold
02:48He's the citizen rising when the night won't end
02:52The hammer that falls when they won't defend
02:55Call him whatever name makes you sleep at night
02:59But the ones who know, they already see the light
03:18It started with the case that the papers buried deep
03:22Suspended sentences while the victims couldn't sleep
03:26A family name spoken once then erased from the page
03:30While the cameras kept smiling through the public stage
03:34The actor they cancelled for the sins of the mind
03:38Came back with the story of the powerful decline
03:42The director they mocked for the truths he would show
03:45Put the mirror up high so the whole world would know
03:49And the billionaire who posted what the boards would rate
03:53Didn't create the rage
03:55He just opened the gate
04:05Dance on the gallows of the truth they denied
04:08The citizen, the hammer, the fire, they tried to hide
04:12They called him the monster so he'd never look twice
04:16At the real ones who walked while the victims paid the price
04:20Now the song is the mirror and the night is no end
04:24You can feel it already, you already understand
04:27No names needed here for the ones who still see
04:31The gallows were never for him
04:35They were waiting for me
04:40And for you
04:44Would you do the same
04:50When the silence gets too loud?
