Movement Lyrics
Another eulogy
Testament to our inaction
Stoking the fire, building around us
Ever the advocate
Perpetuating our stagnation;
It's always the same
You've got nothing to say

It's time to mobilise; heed this:
You'll never redefine our cause
I will shut you out
Conflating every opposition
With all that you despise
No more empty words
No more false equivalence
Bear witness to the changing tide
If you've got nothing to say
Step aside, I'm done listening
It's time to mobilise; heed this:
You'll never redefine our cause
I will shut you out
You're daunted by the magnitude
Of this undertaking
(It's) so much easier to be
Strangling in apathy
Romanticising
All that would cease to be
But we know the price of silence
We all know the price of silence
