At the corner of my soul Silence strikes, it takes its toll From my window, shadows swarm A whirlwind spinning out of form Whispers echo through the air Sharper than a blade laid bare Harassment storms, it rages wild Machismo's wrath, fierce and defiled Another voice is stilled in pain Fighting just to breathe again Another bitter tale unfolds A headline dark, its weight untold Where's the shelter I can claim? Who will stand and share my blame? For a skirt, I'm cast away Accused, condemned without a say Each new day, the battle's here Each new day, the same old fear They drown my screams, erase my fight Then mourn the horror of the night But I won't silence what's inside Or let despair take me to hide If one falls down, a thousand rise And all shout "Resist!" to pierce the skies! Another voice is stilled in pain Fighting just to breathe again Another bitter tale unfolds A headline dark, its weight untold Where's the shelter I can claim? Who will stand and share my blame?
