Gabriel Mardale - Speechless

Here comes a wave meant to wash me away,
A tide that is taking me under.
Swallowing sand, left with nothing to say,
My voice drowned out in the thunder.

But I won't cry
And I won't start to crumble
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down.

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,
Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me,
Don't you underestimate me,
Cause I know that I won't go speechless.

Written in stone, every rule, every word,
Centuries old and unbending:
"Stay in your place", "Better seen and not heard" -
Well, now that story is ending.

Cause I, I can not start to crumble,
So come on and try,
Try to shut me and cut me down.

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,
Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me,
Don't you underestimate me,
Cause I know that I won't go speechless.

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!
And the echoes saying:

I won't be silenced,
No, you will not see me tremble when you try it,
All I know is I won't go speechless...
Speechless,
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.
