Count the Camps

They soften the language so you won’t see, How cruelty hides inside legality.

[Intro]
Count the camps.
Count the cages.
Count the lives hidden behind paperwork.

[Verse 1]
Seventy thousand breathing institutional air,
Two hundred twenty-five fences everywhere.
No crime. No court. Just a file, a bed,
They call it “civil”—but people are dead.

[Pre-Chorus]
They soften the language so you won’t see,
How cruelty hides inside legality.

[Chorus]
Count the camps.
Say the name.
If this isn’t an emergency, what is the flame?
Count the camps.
Don’t look away.
This is happening here, not “someday.”

[Verse 2]
They say it’s order. They say it’s law.
They say it’s temporary—we’ve heard that before.
Every system built on fear and control
Grows stronger every time we stay silent and still.

[Bridge – Stripped, low and deliberate]
They don’t start with the worst.
They start with “necessary.”
They don’t call it forever—
They just make it ordinary.

[Final Chorus – Firm, resolute]
Count the camps.
Raise your voice.
There is no neutral, no safe choice.
Count the camps.
Draw the line.
Stand up now—or answer in time.

[Outro – Spoken, steady]
Say it out loud.
Shut it down.
History is watching—
Right now.
