Pillar of Shame
Thousands of hands
Reaching up to a red sky
That will not hold them
As the banners wave slogans faded
From a time not yet seen
Begging forgiveness
And wearing beliefs
Of righteous understanding
Bloody boots tread city streets
Riveted with iron
And tracks of smoke
She speaks but in her verse
They speak but in verse
No sound comes
Thousands of hands
Reaching up to a red sky
That will not hold them
As the banners wave slogans faded
Suppress
Silence
Conceal
Exalt
Suppress
Silence
Conceal
Exalt
Suppress
Silence
Conceal
Exalt
Suppress
Silence
Conceal
Exalt
Raking flesh with cleansing fire
Wounds that will never heal
Students on a funeral pyre
Driven by fanatic zeal
A legacy enshrined in blood
Forever in death
Forever in death
Crushed under the weight of intolerance
On the dawn of a brave new world
They twist the arm of fate
Justice denied
A throne escapes
In purgatory
A goddess of democracy
Weeps
Now
Reaching up to a red sky
That will not hold them
As the banners wave slogans faded
From a time not yet seen
Begging forgiveness
And wearing beliefs
Of righteous understanding
Bloody boots tread city streets
Riveted with iron
And tracks of smoke
She speaks but in her verse
They speak but in verse
No sound comes
Thousands of hands
Reaching up to a red sky
That will not hold them
As the banners wave slogans faded
Suppress
Silence
Conceal
Exalt
Suppress
Silence
Conceal
Exalt
Suppress
Silence
Conceal
Exalt
Suppress
Silence
Conceal
Exalt
Raking flesh with cleansing fire
Wounds that will never heal
Students on a funeral pyre
Driven by fanatic zeal
A legacy enshrined in blood
Forever in death
Forever in death
Crushed under the weight of intolerance
On the dawn of a brave new world
They twist the arm of fate
Justice denied
A throne escapes
In purgatory
A goddess of democracy
Weeps
Now
