VELKIRA – DON'T LET THE SILENCE DECIDE | Female Vocal Metal - Lyrics

There's a distance in your breathing
There's a question in your eyes
Every touch is getting colder
Every truth is wrapped in lies

We've been living in the wreckage
Of the promises we made
Trying desperately to shelter
What the years began to break

We have worn these wounds like armor
We have carried them too long
But the heart can't keep pretending
When it knows that something's wrong

Don't let the silence decide
Don't let the last ember die
If there's a spark beneath these ruins
We can bring it back to life

Don't leave me lost in the thunder
While our worlds are torn apart
If you need a road to follow
I won't hold you where you are

But before you cross that line
Look into my eyes tonight
If there's still a chance between us
Don't let the silence decide

I know loneliness can shelter
Every soul that's learned to bleed
Sometimes distance feels much safer
Than admitting what we need

And I won't chain you to a memory
I won't beg a ghost to stay
But I need to know what's living
Under everything you cannot say

Love was never forged from iron
Even steel will bend and scar
But the broken can be stronger
When they remember who they are

Don't let the silence decide
Don't let the last ember die
If there's a spark beneath these ruins
We can bring it back to life

Don't leave me lost in the thunder
While our worlds are torn apart
If you need a road to follow
I won't hold you where you are

But before you cross that line
Look into my eyes tonight
If there's still a chance between us
Don't let the silence decide

Who will stand when the walls come down?
Who will find you when you're lost?
We could bury every feeling
But the silence has a cost

Who will call you from the darkness?
Who will pull you from the edge?
We were never meant to vanish
In the words we never said

When the fear has lost its language
When the anger sheds its skin
Maybe underneath the wreckage
We can learn to live again

I can face the deepest darkness
I can walk through fire and rain
But I cannot fight beside you
If you keep me locked away

I WOULD RATHER HEAR THE TRUTH
LIKE A BLADE AGAINST MY CHEST
THAN WATCH A THOUSAND SILENT NIGHTS
BURY WHAT WE NEVER CONFESSED

TEAR THE WALLS DOWN
LET THE WOUNDS SHOW
GIVE ME ONE REASON
NOT TO LET GO

DON'T LET THE SILENCE DECIDE
DON'T LET THE LAST EMBER DIE
THERE'S STILL A FIRE BENEATH THESE RUINS
WAITING TO RETURN TO LIFE

DON'T LEAVE ME LOST IN THE THUNDER
DON'T LET THE SHADOWS TAKE YOUR HEART
WE CAN GATHER ALL THE PIECES
EVEN AFTER THEY FALL APART

Before we say our last goodbye
Before we leave this love behind
If there's still a chance between us
Don't let the silence decide

Who will stand when the walls come down?
Who will find you in the night?
We are more than all the damage
We are more than this goodbye

Who will call you from the darkness?
Who will pull you from the edge?
We don't have to lose each other
For the words we never said

If you leave, leave with the sunrise
Not as a shadow in my mind
If you stay, then stand beside me

Don't let the silence decide
