Deep in your head

there’s a voice calling you

wake up!, death is knocking...

eyes wide open

don’t be afraid

Break, all these chains

the damned box is sedating you

a tool to enslave society

open your eyes, face the truth

This is breaking news: A man self-immolated at the gates of the Parliament. It happened this morning, around half past nine. The victim was forty-two and he's survived by his thirteen years old daughter. He had recently been evicted from his home.

The police believe this incident was not a terrorist attack, but rather an act of protest. The paramedics were unable to save his life. Before setting himself on fire, the man left an envelope on the pavement, suspected to enclose his suicide letter..

As the investigation goes on, it seems this attack could be linked to the recent disturbances; they might be more than just isolated incidents. However, this man made no attempt to harm any others. Witnesses report that his last words were "no dignity, no life".

Now I have nothing,

just a shadow of my old self …

hundreds of calls, one last shout:

no dignity, no life...

When all hope is dead,

and there's no faith,

Martyrs’ sacrifice

fuel for the uprising

Bloodstained key for a chance,

no sorrow nor pain,

one-way road to the end,

fall back and head down

or rise and stand tall again

Fighting for air,

global consciousness

don’t let the bloodshed be in vain

Routine is our opium

Apathy leads to pain

When all flesh is burnt

and a clamor arises

Martyrs’ sacrifice

fuel for the uprising

Vanquished lion, casting a dull roar

when all explodes, eternal echoes soar

Now! Self immolation

bright as a star, marking the goal
