An unknown story, in the heart of their brain
   with peaceful colours and freedom on earth
   no seperation between black and white
   and the aim of life was based on truth
  
   So the story stayed unknown
   cause the truth scares the powerful
   and what the powerful scares
   they take away
  
   They held a secret burden - forbidden words
   they had to leave their country - cause silence hurts
  
   They couldn't tell us what they really thought,
   they had to hush it, could have been the last time
   and only shadows between right or wrong
   cause the state dictated what was on the line
  
   So the word stayed unknown
   cause freedom scares the powerful
   and what the powerful scares
   they take away
  
   See the names on the slate, made it to emigrate
   and they spoke their minds in a different place.
   But this song's for those who didn't get out
   who told their thoughts, who opened their mouth.
  
   But their toughts stayed unknown
   cause courage scares the powerful
   and what the powerful scares
   they take away
