Legacy in Shadows

Eyes that follow, trace the lines Of blood and birthright, through the times They schemed with charts and graphs so clear Deciding who should disappear And in the silence (cold and deep) They chose who'd wake, and who'd forever sleep I didn't hear the quiet storm [Verse 2] They whispered, whispered 'bout a world that's free They murmured, oh so soft 'gainst tyranny I didn't feel the hush of might Movin' in shadows, out of sight Yet, they say... The silent thunder of the mind Ideas striking, fast and blind A war that's fought without a gun Where words are bullets, and freedoms won [Chorus] In this quiet battle, we all play our part With silent weapons in the quiet war of hearts In secret meetings (darkened rooms) Plots of control, like a flower that blooms Plans were drawn, with a cold precision For a future cut, by incisive decisions They spoke in codes (whispers of fate) Mapped out lives with no escape But I felt the chains (society's grasp) Cloaked in progress, in every gasp Veils of justice, oh so misleading Masking the truth, where rights are bleeding [Verse 3] I heard the stories (hushed and grim) Of lives discarded, on nothing but a whim
