Two pillars of survival Love and resistance I won't be destroyed In the jaws of a dragon I won't concede defeat to this world I won't retire to a fool's paradise I've got a secret weapon you won't dare use Love rules the spirit of mankind While we wait For the mouth of flames The poison works slow As this dragon will know
2.
Waiting on a messiah Who's come and gone Prophets swarm airwaves Diatribes brew poison fog We all share one fate Life ripens, goes to waste Lives go to waste Theocratic terror states Are veiled reflections Zealots marshaled To secure foreign markets Hasten the apocalypse With zero sum rhetoric Hope curdles into hate This is a violent age The cross vilifies the crescent vilifies the cross Ad nauseam Enslaved by ancient superstition Seduced by symbols and reductive fairy-tales Monotheistic Narcissistic Petty differences Inflamed Hope curdles into hate This, this is a violent age The cross vilifies the crescent vilifies the cross Ad nauseam
3.
When these urgent words become action Once the sophist tastes first blood In the furnace of defiance The birth pangs of a future to be won Splintered factions brought together Fingers balled into a fist Polity mobilized against a common foe One and all resist Martyrs will galvanize Answer their sacrifice Colossus collapses Under the weight of the masses The time of tyrants passes The world is not theirs anymore Passions boil over When theory and debate falls away Unclouded conviction yields untold strength Totalitarians laid to waste Sycophants to the lords of woe Tremble when our trumpets blow Like winds that rake them Like waves that break them A blood drop will crack the stone Martyrs will galvanize Answer their sacrifice The choice is not between fascism and democracy But between capital and humane activity They grind away the past But we are ready Colossus collapses What will rise from the ashes
4.
When the bombs fell down We went underground We gathered what was left Of the life that came before The ashes of the trees Feed the hungry seeds We'll build a home in the rubble And again prepare for war Only those born to the wilderness Get to live to see the promised land The rhythm of the hammers Find the will Bend the steel Wail of the klaxon Echoes in our bastion And our blood beats deeper Than the soil we call home We heard the whistle Of the incoming missiles We struck a note of discord with our song We went below Only those born to the wilderness Get to live to see the promised land The rhythm of the hammers Find the will Bend the steel Deeper than the soil Find the will
