WINTER CARTWRIGHT

Lyrics

Intro (soft R&B tone)
Yeah…
Sometimes the sin ain’t what you did…
It’s what you watched happen.
Verse 1
They were watchers in the heavens, eyes open in the sky
Sent to guard the earth below but temptation walked by
They saw the wrong rising, saw the darkness grow
But silence became the seed that corruption would sow
They taught the sword and the secrets of war
Opened doors that were never opened before
Now the blood hit the ground, and the cries hit the throne
And the Judge of the heavens said “You should have known.”
Pre-Chorus (R&B melody)
You can’t stand on the sidelines
While the world burns down in the night
If you see wrong and stay quiet
Then you’re helping darkness fight
Chorus (R&B Hook)
Don’t be a silent watcher
Eyes open but heart asleep
If you see the fire rising
Then the warning’s yours to speak
If you stand there doing nothing
When the truth is under attack
You might not have lit the match
But you helped hold the darkness back
Verse 2
Now look around at the world we’re in
Everybody watching but nobody stepping in
Truth getting buried while lies go viral
The culture spinning in a wicked spiral
They say “it ain’t my fight, it ain’t my place”
While evil walks free with a smiling face
But heaven sees more than the things we do
It sees the things we watched and we never moved
Pre-Chorus
You can’t play neutral ground
When the line’s been drawn in the sand
If you know what’s right and stay silent
Then you’re helping darkness stand
Chorus
Don’t be a silent watcher
Eyes open but heart asleep
If you see the fire rising
Then the warning’s yours to speak
If you stand there doing nothing
When the truth is under attack
You might not have lit the match
But you helped hold the darkness back
Bridge (Hip-Hop / Spoken Flow)
The watchers fell not just from lust
But from the weight of broken trust
Power given, truth ignored
Guardians sleeping at the door
So if the light is in your chest
Then silence isn’t righteousness
Stand for truth, don’t look away
Because judgment comes for watchers too one day
Final Chorus (bigger melody)
Don’t be a silent watcher
Truth was never meant to hide
If the darkness starts advancing
Then the righteous gotta rise
You might not have done the evil
But if you watched and turned your back
History will still remember
You were there when truth was attacked
