They Came For Us

by Thorne Empire

Thorne Empire is a band that formed in Chicago in 2016.




Have you ever had the time
When you saw wrong
And hid away
When you should have made a stand
But you didn't care
You didn't
You didn't care

It's not our fight
That's what we tell ourselves at night
We keep standing still
Praying for the change
For a better day
But things just stay the same
Things just stay the same

So much hate
So much pain
We made it so
Staying silent
When we should have made a lot of noise

We can not pretend
We saw it all

For the free they came
We didn't say a word
It was not our war

Hid away the bums
We didn't say a word
It was not our war

Beat the gays
Fed us lies and fears

We didn't raise our voice
We didn't make a fuss
Before the night was out
They came for us
They came for us
