In a land where the shadows of fear dance on endless walls

In a land where the shadows of fear dance on endless walls, Justice has melted away like a dream scattered by the cold night wind, Abductions slip through the dense fog like uninvited phantoms, Citizens torn from their peace for words that burn like flames, Are taken to hidden places where pain becomes a silent, bitter song, Torture merges with silence, trying to extinguish living voices, But the cries of the oppressed soar like birds to the high heavens. Our hearts break under the weight of the darkness that has enveloped us, But we cannot let despair swallow us into its boundless depths, We must rise like a sea of flames, to defend our freedom, To surround ourselves with brave hearts that shine like stars in the sky, To allow no one to overshadow the determination burning in our chests, To not let the system bind us with chains of silence and oblivion, We must rise with courage and compassion, like an eternal song.
