Songs of Longing - What Revolution Looks Like

See the world around me

It’s the start of something

We will wear the crown and

Reap bloody, bloody vengeance

See the hurt in you carry

See the my bloodstained ending

We’ll go to the land and

Hug all of its sentience

———

All around me I see children dying

All around me I see banners flying

I see the world on the verge of revolution

And even if we all die for revolution

Forces beyond our power will rise

Just let your soul-killing pain decide

———

They say to shut my eyes

Not listen to allies

I know as well as you

We can’t sit here in silence

They say my life is lies

That you and me won’t rise

To my love I’ll be true

I won’t give them obedience

———

All around me I see children dying

All around me I see banners flying

I see the world on the verge of revolution

And even if we all die for revolution

Forces beyond our power will rise

Just let your soul-killing pain decide

———

I’m right here beside you

And you’re right here beside me

The earth mother we both are on will bring the the world unbinding

And they will despise you

The ones that seek their glory

But when we win our legacy will be bone-hard, enduring

I know that you’re hurting

And I am hurting too

I know that you’re hurting

And I am hurting too

I know that you’re hurting

And I am hurting too

I know that you’re hurting

And I am hurting too

But when I see you

I see destiny true

———

All around me I see children dying

All around me I see banners flying

I see the world on the verge of revolution

And even if we all die for revolution

Forces beyond our power will rise

Just let your soul-killing pain decide

———

They say be a good girl, be a good girl, be a good girl

But I will take their world, I’ll take their world, I’ll take their world

Rise up
