Defiance

Go in defiant
Stand against the tyrants
And be the ones to bring their cause eternal silence
We are ready now, starved and clad in rabid vengeance
May we rise to power
May your dying time be precious

Protected by a labyrinth of cryptic words
Vultures watch from the high branch they're born to perch
Picking off the strength from our hard-worked bones
While we work to die in debt ridden homes

Forced to breathe concrete (concrete) oppression
Feeding our children hope that we ourselves question
While they remain taunted by different views
And drown in the hatred of tolerated abuse

The end draws near
Can you feel the fear?
Can you hear us grow in numbers through your excess laughter?
Can you hear the flies that swarm, chanting as they gather?

Do my actions really matter on this shattered isle?
Am I just a theme to the king's laughter?
While he's dancing with the others upon our crumbling grounds
Do they hear us screaming?
Do we even make a sound?
Or have they turned their backs
Leaving just a dagger

The Raven flips the pages through times in mankind's journal
Where history repeats itself
No reign remains eternal
Power blinded it's possessors
As they ran to their collapse
We warned you of this lesson and all you did was fucking laugh

Do my actions really matter on this shattered isle?
Am I just a theme to the king's laughter?
While he's dancing with the others upon our crumbling grounds
Do they hear us screaming?
Do we even make a sound?
Or have they turned their backs
Leaving just a dagger
Wet with red betrayal
The flies chant as we gather
