We Do It

We do it by the law,
We do it all for cash.
And truth becomes much quieter
Than the sound of loose coins clashing.

We put our names below
What's already been erased,
And only look for meaning
Where no hand has left a trace.

We know the price of fear,
The fee for one more breath,
And learn to keep our silence
If we want to keep what's left.

By the law, by the law,
We do it all for cash.
Truth falls lower, truth grows smaller,
Drowned beneath the coins that clash.

By the law, by the law,
We sign what's already dust.
And if no one dares to name it,
Then the silence stands for us.

By the law...
By the law...
For the cash...
For the dust...

We know the cost of terror,
The cost of breathing free,
And train ourselves to disappear
Inside necessity.

And if someone dares
To name it clear and rough,
They'll just switch him off
Like an extra sound - enough.

No one asks, and no one stays,
No one looks too long.
Every word that cuts too deep
Is buried by the wrong.

By the law, by the law,
We do it all for cash.
Truth falls lower, truth grows smaller,
Drowned beneath the coins that clash.

By the law, by the law,
We sign what's already dust.
And if no one dares to name it,
Then the silence stands for us.

If someone says it out loud,
If someone breaks the frame,
They fade him like a signal
And erase him from the name.

If someone keeps on speaking,
If someone won't adjust,
They cut him from the circuit
Like a noise they cannot trust.

By the law...
By the law...
Hold your breath...
Stay in line...

By the law, by the law,
We do it all for cash.
Truth falls lower, truth grows smaller,
Drowned beneath the coins that clash.

By the law, by the law,
We sign what's already dust.
And if no one dares to name it,
Then the silence stands for us.

We know the price of fear,
The fee for one more breath,
And learn to keep our silence
If we want to keep what's left.

By the law...
For the cash...
Truth goes under...
Nothing lasts...
