By Satin
Duration: 4:17
In the dark we learned to breathe
With broken wings and quiet screams
Names erased, dreams locked inside
A nation with fire in our eyes
Mothers cry in whispered tones
Our youth died, shots fired and stoned
Every scar shaped the sign
These stolen nights would end in time
In the dark we learned to breathe
With broken wings and quiet screams
Names erased, dreams locked inside
A nation with fire in our eyes
Mothers cry in whispered tones
Our youth died, shots fired and stoned
Every scar shaped the sign
These stolen nights would end in time
They taught us hope was born to fail
Our truth faded and fear prevailed
But every heart that learned to stand
Was writing freedom hand by hand
This is the end of fear and chains
The end of decades of pain
The end of silence, end of lies
The dawn we saw but couldn’t name
This is the end of bowed heads low
The end of shadows claiming souls
Hear the people rise and say:
This is the end and we remain
She stood vulnerable on the line
Hair unbound, reclaiming time
They broke her body, tried to erase
Her beauty removed from her face
Even her death could not confine
The spark that woke a million minds
From her name, the movement rose
A nation awakened by what she chose
This is the end of fear and chains
The end of decades of pain
The end of silence, end of lies
The dawn we saw but couldn’t name
This is the end of bowed heads low
The end of black covers stealing our souls
Hear the people rise and say:
This is the end and we remain
This is the end, it is goodbye The stolen future lifts its eyes
We welcome home our king in exile
Not to rule but heal our lives
This is the end and now we choose To live out loud, to stand in truth
No crown above our dignity
Just history healed and unity
