Silent Screams 3 (The Cost of Dominion) Lyrics

We walk this earth like it's ours to conquer

Fences and walls we draw the borders

They don't speak our language so we assume they don't feel

But their eyes tell stories their pain is too real

Factories hum with the sound of their suffering

We turn away call it business call it nothing

Pets we claim to love yet discard when they're broken

Their trust in us a bond we've left unspoken

Do you hear it? The silence is screaming

A world built on taking their lives have no meaning

We wear their skin we eat their flesh

But their cries are buried their voices suppressed

The wild ones roam where the trees used to stand

Now it's concrete and steel a world they don't understand

We hunt for trophies we hunt for pride

Their blood on our hands but we're blind to the tide

The oceans choke on the waste we discard

Their homes are prisons their lives are scarred

We call it dominion we call it control

But it's just destruction it's just a black hole

Do you hear it? The silence is screaming

A world built on taking their lives have no meaning

We wear their skin we eat their flesh

But their cries are buried their voices suppressed

We've built an empire on their backs

Their suffering is the foundation of what we lack

Compassion connection a sense of the whole

We've lost ourselves in the pursuit of control

They feel they love they fear they grieve

But we've turned their existence into something to thieve

The cages are small but the guilt is vast

We've normalized cruelty we've normalized the past

They're not just resources they're not just a cost

They're lives they're beings and we've lost what we've lost

The earth is crying the balance is gone

We've taken too much we've done too much wrong

Will we wake up before it's too late?

Or will we keep justifying the weight of their fate?

Do you hear it? The silence is screaming

A world built on taking their lives have no meaning

We wear their skin we eat their flesh

But their cries are buried their voices suppressed

One day the ground will remember our names

Not as conquerors but as the ones who brought the flames

The animals the earth the sky the sea

They'll echo our choices for eternity

Will we change or will we fade?

The question lingers the debt unpaid
