Sometimes it seems like no one really cares
And all I'm left with is frustration and anxiety
Time's running out and with courage so rare
I wonder if people even want to be free
Ignoring the cruelties piling at our doors
Despite the causalities, cheering on wars
Our truth is now the lies we are taught
Evil fostering and somehow we haven't even fought
For those of you who listen, feed into the fire
Raise the mark, become symbols to aspire
Tear off your chains like wild animals
Fight ferociously for the rights we deserve
Even if in this world there are no angels
Us humans must have the nerve
Let the flames burn on until the end
These wrongs we must amend
Bring this world to ashes and its knees
This death is life, it will make you free
Armed with the truth go and yell
Tell the ignorant about this hell
This will all be impossible, it'll never be true
Unless People stand up, People like you
“Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number-
Shake your chains to earth like
dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you
Ye are many-they are few.”- Percy Bysshe Shelley (Masque of Anarchy)
