Words that are splitting nations in half
Verbal lines, delicate like hair or all-powerful
Dividing those fearing their Lord from the pagans
Leaving after them ruins and trails of blood
Words that are abusing, insulting
Wonderfully pronounced, caressing pleasantly
Bringing down borders, changing yesterday's habits
Flattening speeches and causing global changes
From rags to riches, from haters to adorers
With words the losers can become the winners
They change truth into lies and vice versa
Nonsensical stories, dead-serious topics
Words that reveal the most protected secrets of the states
Promising and later breaking holy vows
Accusing and forgiving the guilty
Loudly shouting, terminally voice-silencing
It is so quiet here
Makes me want to scream
Why are the words left unspoken?

These times stifling any discord
Behind shut doors the influential people
Put fitting words into the mouths of everyone
Divergent opinions are few and far between
All the same old self-repetitive clichés
The bringers of change are distinctly absent
Only few still have the energy to speak
The tough and the uncomfortable topics are being disregarded
People in their yearn for comfort give
All responsibility to those who allegedly can take care of it
Without questioning they're bowing to the authorities
Critical statements vanish into extinction
Sentences cut midway so that they quickly forget
That elsewhere counterarguments lead to death
The long road to freedom starts from where everyone takes
Into use weapons more effective than anything else: words
It is so quiet here
Makes me want to scream
Why are the words left unspoken?

Every time I grab my pen I've something to say to Finland
My words are my liberty, even the ones I'm writing now
So many listen to others without thinking by themselves
There're many wanderers in Finland with no own opinions
I may not make any impact but I'll do my best
I can make a change without being dressed in Armani
Or without driving a Mercedes or living in a big mansion
Or without being viewed in a positive light among us
Freedom of speech and faith in myself are all I need
My art expresses my opinions of this world
Words can change the world for better or for worse
And too many able to change it for better stray for money
Money makes too many lose faith in the common good
If you can have a whole field then why settle for one grain
I'm ready to say my words and stand behind them
Because with words the world can be changed by anyone
It is so quiet here
Makes me want to scream
Why are the words left unspoken?
