Echoes
The Charm The Fury Lyrics

Step down, show respect, for the folly of the men
We should acknowledge and respect the mistakes made by those who came before us.

Some things are better left unsaid
Sometimes it is better to stay quiet than to speak up and worsen the situation.

Unrest, barricades, lock your children away
Under the threat of violence and chaos, it becomes necessary to keep our children safe and protected.

No don't you dare to take a stand
Don't be too quick to take a side or make a move, because the situation may be more complicated than it appears.

Hypocrisy cannot be kept in check
We cannot ignore or tolerate hypocritical behavior, because it will only create more problems in the long run.

With frail words and acts
We cannot rely on weak or ineffective words and actions to combat hypocrisy and injustice.

No don't you bet on it boys
Don't be too optimistic or confident that things will work out as planned.

Until we learn to keep our backs straight and
We must learn to stand up for what is right and just, and not let ourselves be bullied or silenced.

Laugh at ourselves
We need to have a sense of humor and humility about our own flaws and mistakes.

Shots in the streets
The sound of gunfire in public places is a frightening and tragic reality.

Show some respect
We must show respect for those who have been harmed or killed by acts of violence and injustice.

I hear the echoes in my head
The memories of past traumas and injustices continue to haunt us and influence our actions.

This is not a war
We should not see the struggle for justice and equality as a violent or destructive battle.

This is who we are
We cannot escape our identity and history, and we must confront and grapple with the challenges and injustices that come with it.

I remember what I stand for, it echoes in my head
Our convictions and beliefs continue to inspire and motivate us, even in the face of difficult and painful circumstances.

I am waking up
We are becoming more aware of the injustices and inequalities that exist in our world, and are starting to take action to address them.

Defy and resist, oppose and rethink
We must challenge and question the status quo, and be willing to reconsider our assumptions and beliefs.

Or in the end we all learn
If we don't address the problems and injustices that we face, we will ultimately suffer the consequences and learn the hard way.

What goes in a place where silence is king
In a world where people are afraid to speak up and raise their voices, bad things are allowed to happen unchecked.

And guns speak louder than words
Violence and aggression often have more immediate and powerful effects than peaceful words and actions.

Riot
An expression of anger, frustration, and protest against injustice and oppression.

The echoes in my head
The memories and emotions of past traumas and injustices continue to resonate within us and influence our actions.
