Never Talk

A haunting tribute to Cambodias unspoken traumas where silence carries the weight of loss memory and quiet resilience

They never talk their voices fade
Through silent fields where lives were laid
A parents tears a childs last breath
A nation fractured bound by death

The earth remembers it keeps their cries
A story hidden in the skies

Never talk the silence screams
Of broken lives and stolen dreams
Weve all lost something through the years
Echoes of sorrow in quiet tears

Homes stand empty names erased
Through endless nights their pain replaced
ស្រមោលអតីតកាលនៅតែរស់ The shadows of the past remain
ចងចាំការបាត់បង់នៅលើដីស្រពោន Remembering loss on this broken plain

Their hands once strong their faces brave
But silence fills what they couldnt save

Never talk the silence screams
Of broken lives and stolen dreams
Weve all lost something through the years
Echoes of sorrow in quiet tears

Behind those walls in Phnom Penhs heart
Where screams of fear tore souls apart
Their ghosts still linger their shadows stay
The pain of memories wont fade away

The chains the cells the stories untold
A haunting truth the world must hold
Everyone lost a part of life
A home a name a child a wife

English Through tears and loss they found their way
A quiet strength that wont decay

Never talk but I still hear
The silent cries the endless fear
Weve all lost something far and wide
Yet through the pain their hope survives

In every field in every stone
Their whispers tell were not alone
Though silence hides the paths they tread
The echoes guide the lives weve led
