Stormtroopers at the Courthouse

Raise your voice before it's broken, Stand your ground before it's taken

(Verse 1)
Stormtroopers at the courthouse, boots heavy on the floor
Dragging freedom by the ankles, smashing down the people's door
No law, no warrant, just the silence of the bought
This is how a nation crumbles, not with battles but with fear they taught
The gavel’s been replaced with guns, the bench is just a stage
And every whisper of dissent is locked inside a cage

(Chorus)
Raise your voice before it's broken
Stand your ground before it's taken
They’re tearing down the dream our fathers swore to save
Stormtroopers at the courthouse
Do you hear democracy’s grave

(Verse 2)
Flags wave in hollow winds, but justice stands alone
Leaders kneel before the tyrant while he sharpens up his throne
The judges fall, the papers burn, the truth is sold for gold
And all the while the people sleep, their liberties are sold

(Chorus)
Raise your voice before it's broken
Stand your ground before it's taken
They’re tearing down the dream our fathers swore to save
Stormtroopers at the courthouse
Do you hear democracy’s grave

(Bridge)
One by one, the lights go out
One by one, the brave are drowned
One last line still holds the gate
We the People, it's not too late

(Final Chorus)
Raise your fists before they're shackled
Raise your hearts before they're rattled
If we fall in silence, freedom’s just a name
Stormtroopers at the courthouse
But the fire’s still in our veins

(Outro)
Stormtroopers at the courthouse
But the fire’s still in our veins
