At last the day of reckoningA
For denial of the truthB
Lay in broken bones to beC
As the weary light soon soothesD
Itself to sleep and take restE
-
Then the blazing eyes spark hopeF
In the birthing ember flamesG
Of torches in your handsH
And red murk in your heart and claimsG
That makes the feet atop the landI
Stomp like sounding beastsJ
Lusting over blood to spillK
And fill their greed to fullL
-
You lay us near the stand of woodM
Chain our limbs rope our backsN
Bend our wills no push nor pullL
Only smite upon the innocentO
Life that do wishP
To free themselves from bondageQ
Unlike the thought you hideR
Not unlike the hoarding avariceS
-
But be that as it mayT
No fears left no prideR
Only anger and vengeanceU
With tears like a riverV
No more shock to quiverV
From and to back downW
Is a choice testamentO
To the wise strategistX
And the crestfallenY
However we retaliateZ
-
Our bravery awaits the dawnA2
For our spirit has grownB2
You took to the streetsC2
And left us pilloriedD2
Breathing in defeatE2
Now listen to our voicesF2
We have done nothing wrongG2
Go ahead throw your stonesH2
Leave us with brokenY
Cracked and shattered bonesH2
-
But when the deeds endI2
Sounds of hearsayT
Shall hit the ears of earthJ2
As the sun risesF2
The moon is not your witnessS
For the truth shall resurfaceS
And our faces shall be seenK2
In dreams in guilt in glowing ashesF2
