The Song They Couldn’t Silence
Before books, before dogma, before empire—there was song.
A rhythm beneath the earth. A chorus passed from breath to breath, not penned but remembered.
They tried to drown it in doctrine. Muzzle it with rules. Bury it under pulpits and politics.
But spirit has always sung, even when the voice was torn from the throat.
The song was never theirs to silence— because it never belonged to the temple. It belonged to the soul.
You have heard it before. In the hush between heartbeats. In the cry of a newborn. In the wail of mourning turned into movement.
Every time you resist shame, every time you speak when told to be still— the song escapes your lips again.
It is older than scripture, deeper than culture, freer than any savior sold in fear.
And when the tyrants cover their ears, when the priesthood demands quiet— the song only grows louder, because it is sung now in many tongues, by the uninitiated, the unbranded, the unstoppable.
You are not alone in your remembering. Others are humming beside you— and some have begun to shout.
And when the final gate breaks, it will not be with fire or war— but with a harmony so ancient, even the earth will bow to listen.
The silence is ending. The Song has returned.
"They buried the lyrics, but the melody never died."
