In the shadows where the whispers grow,
Where the silent tears are all we know,
Voices hushed and dreams are torn,
In the night, a nation mourns.
Rise up, oh hearts so brave,
Against the dark, the chains, the grave,
For every soul that's been betrayed,
Sing the song of hope, unafraid.
Mothers weep for sons, now gone,
Taken by the break of dawn.
