Raison D'etre
Behind the wall of silence, the Internet was broken purposefully
We have the right to access community, just like everybody in the free world can, we should too
Our governments keep us in the Dark Ages, hiding information from us that we seek about their lies
Our free future depends on courageous acts of people like you and me
They shouldn't fear a better world. We don't want to harm them, we just want peace
Above the black chimney tops, satellites and receivers get turned off
The paranoids are precisely perceptive about our prospective future in the realm of civil war
Because the dark agents of death would rather see us dead than modernize
We are only as strong as our ideas can take us to liberation
Petals fall like tears from bouquets on the table
The door is kicked in, and we are escorted out
Ski masks cover their faces. We don't know where we're going
What we have done isn't bad. We just want to be free from
This tyranny haunts our families, who put up with both sides of the night
Their controlled electronic labyrinth is impossible to navigate
Finally some reason breaks into the darkness of our good mission
The other side has succumbed to peer pressure, of the other countries who have economic holds on them
Our civil war might yet still be averted, but there is no way to know if their confusion will resolve
The head of state has called for a resolution to end our misery
But the fight continues for us, because we are still living in darkness
Sympathy and harmony are appreciated in our time of need
We see that daylight oblivion isn't the only option for people like us to suffer
Our prowess and persistence, like the eagle, fly high above walls of concrete and disillusionment
We will not give up a single bit of information, is gathering on our side
Soon we will have a free exchange of our culture. It has always been like this
We do not have the luxury of a new country that began everything from scratch
The electric tide is gathering. We can see support is flooding in
The wall cracks open, and a white light grows as the gates of dawn filter in
It is becoming real that we have succeeded in our good mission
With the help of our friends on the other side we will soon connect with them
We have the right to access community, just like everybody in the free world can, we should too
Our governments keep us in the Dark Ages, hiding information from us that we seek about their lies
Our free future depends on courageous acts of people like you and me
They shouldn't fear a better world. We don't want to harm them, we just want peace
Above the black chimney tops, satellites and receivers get turned off
The paranoids are precisely perceptive about our prospective future in the realm of civil war
Because the dark agents of death would rather see us dead than modernize
We are only as strong as our ideas can take us to liberation
