Blessed Is the Flame

Orchestrated to stifle the individual
Expression is muffled by division and deceit
Institutions intent on suppressing dissent
Fighting our comrades for the scraps we eat

And the stench of the dead reminds us
That we will fail

Our captors divide us. Isolation defines us
We go where they send us. No place is our home
Collective punishments. Inhumane experiments
This goes on until one of us ignites before we're dead

And we will fail
We will not prevail

As death approaches me
You cannot destroy the unique!
Death before conformity

Whispers in the dark. She did not make it very far
But we all watched as they buried a guard
We recognized one another. A sister, a brother
They took our humanity, but we would soon be free

"Do or die". It's not a call to succeed
It's a desire to survive
It means that who I am is dead if I don't try
You'll have to crush every part of me
Cut the fuse innate in me
But it's too late now, we're ready to ignite

I'm ready to ignite
And it's do or die tonight

And we all know that we will not prevail
(We all know) We all know that we will not prevail
(We all know) We all know that we will not prevail
(We all know) We all know that we will not prevail
One grand explosion before we fail!

"Do or die". It's not a call to succeed
It's a desire to survive
It means that who I am is dead if I don't try
You'll have to crush every part of me
Cut the fuse innate in me
But it's too late now, I'm ready to ignite

I'm ready to ignite
And it's do or die tonight
I'm ready to ignite
And it's do or die tonight
