Romania

Romanian singer-songwriter Ovidiu Anton started singing at a very early age and studied guitar and piano. He grew up loving rock bands of the 70s and the 80s and will be representing Romania this year with the rock-inspired number ‘Moment of Silence’.

33-year-old Ovidiu won Romanian TV talent show Stars’ School in 2005, and after four attempts he was finally awarded the chance to perform for his country at Eurovision in 2016.

We stand on the edge, they want us to break
They want us to fall, 'cause power's at stake
They parade, laughing at us as we fade

With blood on their hands, enjoying the feast,
The cross on the wall, the eyes of the beast
They parade, laughing at us as we fade

And I just can't take anymore
This hate is burning my soul

In the darkest nights feel the power in you
Take a moment of silence and fight for the truth

I've seen them all come and go,
They're to blame
Empty words, wicked game
'Cause for all of their lies we pay with our lives

In the darkest nights feel the power in you
Take a moment of silence and fight for the truth
Watching the days go by, nothing changed, nothing new
Take a moment of silence and fight for the truth

Fight, gonna win the fight
Believe, gonna win the fight
Got to win the fight
Ooo ooo

In the darkest nights feel the power in you
Take a moment of silence and fight for the truth
Watching the days go by, nothing changed, nothing new
Take a moment of silence and fight for the truth
Fight for the truth.
