Here comes a wave meant to wash me away
A tide that is taking me under
Swallowed in sand, left with nothing to say
My voice drowned out in the thunder
Here comes a wave meant to wash me away
A tide that is taking me under
Swallowed in sand, left with nothing to say
My voice drowned out in the thunder
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But I won't cry
And I won't start to crumble
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down
[Chorus 1]
I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
[Post-Chorus 1]
Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
Cause I know that I won't go speechless
[Verse 2]
Written in stone
Every rule, every word
Centuries old and unbending
Stay in your place
Better seen and not heard
But now that story is ending
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cause I
I cannot start to crumble
So come on and try
Try to shut me and cut me down
[Chorus 2]
I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
[Post-Chorus 2]
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No, I won't live unspoken
Cause I know that I won't go speechless
[Bridge]
Try to lock me in this cage
I won't just lay me down and die
I will take these broken wings
And watch me burn across the sky
Hear the echo saying...
[Chorus 3]
I won't be silenced
Though you wanna see me tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
[Post-Chorus 3]
Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
Cause I know that I won't go speechless
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
Hier kom 'n golf bedoel om weg te was my
A gety wat besig is om my onder
Ingesluk in sand, links met niks om te sê
My stem verdrink in die donderweer
[Pre-Koor 1]
Maar ek sal nie huil
En Ek sal nie begin om te verkrummel
Wanneer hulle probeer
Vir my is gesluit of sny my af
[Chorus 1]
Ek sal nie stilgemaak
Jy kan nie hou my stil
Sal nie bewe wanneer jy dit probeer
Al wat ek weet is ek sal nie sprakeloos gaan
