Lyrics
Felt alone
Had no power
Forced to silence
Made to cower
She tried to speak up
Yelled it once but
needed louder
Louder, louder
Yelled it once and twice
But still need louder
Louder, so they feel
ashamed
Cowards should cower
Her voice met the wind
There it stayed
Would change nothing
To keep it locked, safe
in her brain
But she spoke, now
danger remains
If you can't silence her
Try to cage her
No one listens
She's just a teenager
What day, what hour
will they finally hear?
Always too late
When they pretend
to care
Investigations started
only to save face
While the guilty
hide in place
Twisting ties, guarding lies
Protect themselves
While women die
Told stay quiet, you're okay
Better to not say
his name
Don't show weakness
prove you're strong
Four years isn't that long
They love to preach
Tell you you're safe
You must respect the
chain of command
I wish someone
would command
these crooks, these
cowards to show face
Demand the truth unfold
There's no peace in war
What day, what hour
will they finally hear?
Always too late
When they pretend to care
Investigations started
only to save face
While the guilty
hide in place
Twisting ties, guarding lies
Protect themselves
while women die
Oh, will they
finally hear?
What day, what hour
will they finally hear?
Always too late
When they pretend to care
Investigations started
only to save face
While the guilty
hide in place
Twisting ties, guarding lies
Protect themselves
while women die
They cause grief
Yet run free
The broken aren't seen
They're left alone to
give up
Tossed to the side
No justice in sight
Forced to trudge on
knowing all along
how this is wrong
Oh, so wrong
Cowards, draped in power
Tally up the names
watch how they add up
There will come a day when
the truth will catch up
You think you're
untouchable
And so it goes
People like you should
not get to
grow old
But nothing lasts forever
Not even empires
Over time...
They lose their fire
Over time...
They're overpowered
They drown in the pyre
Louder, louder
For Asia, for every
silenced name
You think you're
untouchable
And so it goes
People like you should
not get to grow old
But nothing lasts forever
Not even empires
Over time...
They lose their fire
Over time...
They're overpowered
They drown in the pyre
Louder, louder
For Asia, for every
silenced name
You will not quiet her
Louder so you feel ashamed
Consumes your brain
This is no game
The truth will show
those to blame
And so they will
be afraid
The ones who cower
What day, what hour
will they finally hear?
Always too late
When they pretend to care
Investigations started
only to save face
While the guilty hide in place
Twisting ties, guarding lies
Protect themselves
while women die
Louder, louder
For Asia, for every
silenced name
You will not quiet her
Louder so you feel ashamed
Consumes your brain
This is no game
The truth will show
those to blame
And so they will
be afraid
The ones who cower
