Twenty Years of Silence

Verse 1

In Hong Kong's courts on Monday morning

Jimmy Lai heard his fate

Twenty years behind prison walls

For words that sealed his fate

Sebastien stands beside his father

Devastated but not surprised

The media mogul's fight for freedom

Now carries such a heavy price

Chorus

Twenty years of silence

For a voice that dared to speak

Pro-democracy's champion

Now the future looks so bleak

Twenty years of silence

In a cell so cold and gray

While his son fears for his health

As hope fades away

Verse 2

Jonathan Price from his legal team

Stands witness to this day

When justice wore a different face

And took their rights away

The mogul who once ran the papers

That spoke truth to power's throne

Now faces two decades of darkness

In a prison far from home
