Song | Guerilla Laments |
Artist | Diablo Swing Orchestra |
Album | Pandoras Pinata |
Taken by force but they kept it with pride | |
And now we can't breathe in the world they describe | |
Where silence is golden, resistance is numb | |
We scream our hope straight into the sun | |
Broken is the world they refuse to see | |
We won't bow down to a word remembered as liberty | |
They are preaching on now their time is yet to come | |
How long before we can make them undone? | |
In the name of believing | |
In the name of us all | |
We sing to tell you the stories untold | |
Can you hear our mourning? | |
They've taken our rights | |
Don't let the truth out of your sight | |
Deceiving appearance, they're dressed up as gods | |
Fake that they care, their conscience is lost | |
Denial their craft, and riots our goal | |
They lead those who follow and break those who fall | |
A future blackened by a change of heart | |
They'll try to fool us that they will greet us with open arms | |
A promise as empty as when we were sent astray | |
Our blood on the pen they used to sign our lives away | |
In the name… | |
Honesty replaced by greed, they gave us the reason to fight and bleed | |
They try to torch our faith and hope, spit at our presence and detest our goals | |
They are preaching on how their time is yet to come | |
How long before we make them undone? |
Taken by force but they kept it with pride | |
And now we can' t breathe in the world they describe | |
Where silence is golden, resistance is numb | |
We scream our hope straight into the sun | |
Broken is the world they refuse to see | |
We won' t bow down to a word remembered as liberty | |
They are preaching on now their time is yet to come | |
How long before we can make them undone? | |
In the name of believing | |
In the name of us all | |
We sing to tell you the stories untold | |
Can you hear our mourning? | |
They' ve taken our rights | |
Don' t let the truth out of your sight | |
Deceiving appearance, they' re dressed up as gods | |
Fake that they care, their conscience is lost | |
Denial their craft, and riots our goal | |
They lead those who follow and break those who fall | |
A future blackened by a change of heart | |
They' ll try to fool us that they will greet us with open arms | |
A promise as empty as when we were sent astray | |
Our blood on the pen they used to sign our lives away | |
In the name | |
Honesty replaced by greed, they gave us the reason to fight and bleed | |
They try to torch our faith and hope, spit at our presence and detest our goals | |
They are preaching on how their time is yet to come | |
How long before we make them undone? |
