Guerrilla Laments - Diablo Swing Orchestra

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?
