Silent Storm

We're in an ocean
Without a shore
You better learn how to swim
Scared of emotions
Taught to ignore
We're numb of everything
We live in a world of denial
Deviated from the truth

Untruthfulness seems viral
It won't spare me or you
We all want our freedom
But what remains a myth is
How do we survive
In a world like this
In a world like this

There's a silent storm
We are invaded
There's a silent storm
We're dressed but naked
There's a silent storm
We gotta face it
There's a silent storm
I hope we will make it

We shall, we shall overcome
These last days of Babylon
Free our deceitful hearts
From all wickedness
And all evil thoughts
Shall be put to rest
If we don't let God back
In our hearts and our lives
If we don't put God first
And everything else aside
Then the sky won't break up
And the clouds won't disappear
And we surely never find
A safe way out of here

A hundred dead bodies piled up on a boat
The youngest victim was four years old
Imagine you've been told that you can not stay here
And your only way out was to conquer your fear
And though you can not swim you still get out on that boat
Cause your only way to win is attached to that rope
You put your life in a vest and pray you'll be blessed
And that God will provide once you're on the other side
The other side! The other side!
I wish I could've warned you
The other side ain't nothing like anything they told you
The other side ain't all that bright
People there ain't all that nice

Maybe they will even send you back to your old life
Which means back on that boat cause they don't need new roads
But plenty of coltan to build smart phones
They don't want you here but they'll go over there
Where everybody's watching cause nobody cares
They treat you like a slave in your own motherland
Make billions of dollars and won't shake your hand
Cause you ain't privileged
You're primitive, underneath, lower than the lowest
A monkey, a thieve
This is what they make believe to break you
Just so you can not see that you are pristine, so divine
True kings and Queens
One day you will return
One day you will be free

There's a silent storm
We are invaded
There's a silent storm
We're dressed
But naked
There's a silent storm
We gotta face it
There's a silent storm
I hope we will make it
