Call to Action
tonight we dare, as fiends
we fight the fire with flame,
we douse our dreams no more;
your shocks cannot us tame.
tonight we die as innocents,
our blood your soil wets;
our futures are your fertilizer,
your soil is our regrets.
tonight we light the villages,
we conquer what we please;
your back will be the mats
on which we welcome ourselves in.
tonight we bleed as children,
our children which have paid
the price for our history;
in hallowed ground they’re laid.
tonight we play to our own greed,
we’ve come to lay our claim:
your bones will be our scaffolding,
your pain will be our fame.
tonight we hold our babies close,
and pray for morning light;
is there a god to call upon
to keep me through the night?
