In the darkest cracks of our psyche
lies a place where nothing grows.
Descendent of the intrinsic fires
who's embers cease to glow.
Enveloped in despair of political
disrepair while we feast on the
scraps from the table of the haves
and have mores.
There's nothing there!
They dine in celebration,
raising their glasses to
the coming war.
The iron fist of the sentinel
smashing our hopes as it comes down,
We abandon lofty hopes with our feet
planted further in the ground.
Who will muster
the strength to rise?
Who will muster
the strength to rise?
Arise!
As the infantry line the streets
scattered with the malnourished bodies
of our young, the weeping word
"Revolution" aching on our tongues.
Take up arms brothers and sisters,
now is the time to make the streets ours.
As we've tried for years to find freedom
we call it the struggle, they call it crime.
Now is our time!
Our time to die for freedom,
to be inspired by the ghosts of our past.
For red blood to stain black clothes,
he pounding drums of the bombs blast!
We will gnash our teeth
and bathe in our own blood,
and we will die laughing
while we swim in the flood.
Victory may only exist in our minds
and in nature's oaken pantheon.
When the lights finally go out the
songs of our revolution will play on.
The song of our revolution will play on...
