[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D G D Genocide in headlines, silence in the halls D G D Leaders tweet condolences, then build another wall Em A Bm G Kids under the rubble, prayers beneath the drones Em A Bm G History repeating, live-streamed from their phones D G D Hospitals in blackout, children counting flares D G D Foreign aid with strings attached, like anyone still cares Em A Bm G Peace talks in a showroom, bombs beneath the floor Em A Bm G Ignoring all the war crimes, signing off on even more.
[Chorus]
D Em There it is again, that haunting silence, Bm G That haunting silence D Em There it is again, that haunting silence, Bm G That haunting silence
[Verse 2]
D G D UN resolutions buried in the sand D G D Freedom painted red across a stolen land Em A Bm G Newsfeed scrolling past it like it’s just another day Em A Bm G A ceasefire promised, and then just washed away D G D Toys beside the shrapnel, grief in every street D G D No room for their mourning in your algorithm’s beat Em A Bm G A child’s final drawing—sunshine in the sky Em A Bm G Hope where none should flourish, asking why
[Chorus]
D Em There it is again, that haunting silence, Bm G That haunting silence D Em There it is again, that haunting silence, Bm G That haunting silence
[Verse 3]
D G D Diplomats rehearsing lines in front of their mirror D G D They’re calling for restraint while shipping bombs a little nearer Em A Bm G Their promises vanish like smoke in the sky Em A Bm G No tears, no reckonings, just spin and deny D G D Photo ops and platitudes, a handshake for the press D G D Condemning all the violence, while they fund the rest Em A Bm G Campaigns built on carnage, speeches thin as air Em A Bm G Suits behind a table saying “we’re deeply aware”
[Chorus]
D Em
Silence fills the sky like falling ash,
Bm G
Echoes of a world we let collapse
D Em
We hear it loud—the cries, the sirens—
Bm G
Buried under haunting silence
[Bridge]
D Hey, what can ya say? Em We were overdue C But it’ll be over soon G You wait D Hey, what can ya say? Em We were overdue C But it’ll be over soon G just wait (bah-duh-DUH, bah-duh-DUH, bah-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh) D Hey, what can ya say? Em We were overdue C But it’ll be over soon G You wait (bah-duh-DUH, bah-duh-DUH, bah-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh) D Hey, what can ya say? Em We were overdue C But it’ll be over soon G You wait (bah-duh-DUH, bah-duh-DUH, bah-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh)
