[Verse 1]
He kissed his kids, he went to work
Built this life from legal dirt
No crime, no trial, no last goodbye
Just vanished under foreign sky
Now he sits where sunlight dies
Concrete floor and sleepless eyes
Seventy men with hollow stares
And not a soul who knows he’s there

[Chorus]
One man, one cell, no charges
Torn from home by lies and marches
The law ignored, the truth denied
This is how democracies die
One man, one cell, no warning
Shadows fall without a morning
A silent scream beneath the sky—
This is how democracies die

[Verse 2]
The Constitution’s ink still dries
While tyrants feed the oldest lies
"An invasion," Trump declared
And justice flinched, too shocked to care
No court was called, no case was tried
Just one more victim cast aside
And now he’s locked in endless night
For daring just to live in light

[Bridge]
He had papers, he had peace
But cruelty’s thirst will never cease
If we look away, forget his name
We’ll watch our freedom die the same
The cell is growing, wall by wall
And any one of us could fall
If we don’t rise and take a stand
We’ll all be prisoners of this land

[Chorus – Final]
One man, one cell, no charges
Now his pain the world enlarges
The law ignored, the truth denied
This is how democracies die
One man, one cell, no warning
The dawn betrayed by lawless morning
A quiet grave beneath the sky—
This is how democracies die
