lyrics

A young black body lies on the ground, a crimson halo 'round his head.
His mother's screams echo in the night distilled through all the tears they've shed.
An alabaster face thrust upon your screen saying no there's nothing wrong.
A heartless voice in a soulless choir, singing loud their hateful song.

Let's stand against fear, and make our voices heard.
Love conquers hate.

A bright young girl in a backward home struggles to get through the day.
Condemned outright by her parents hate, because she doesn't live their way. They send her off to a torture camp, who said her love was just a choice. She suffered their abuse and ignorance until she had to quiet the noise.

Let's stand against fear, and make our voices heard.
Love conquers hate.

So let's take them all down one by one. Just to undo the damage they've done. And we'll do it again. No we won't let them do this to us, and we'll burn it all down if we must, because in this moment we know that silence is dangerous.
