Songs of Longing - Banner of Flames

Glory be to the revolution

Glory be to emancipation

Glory be to the promised day

When all your buildings will decay

Written in the bones of of the Goddess

Is the truth of fire remorseless

Written in the core of my soul

Is that we will not play your role

You thought I would teach the kids to hush

I taught them the future can be lush

I taught them that the Goddess lives

It’s to those like us that She gives

She gives the children Her protection

———

I’d rather be free than be yours

It’s a fire, it’s a war

We will burn your prophets down

We will riot in your town

I’d rather forget all this pain

All your want, all your disdain

I remember all around

There’s the everlasting ground

I’d rather hold my people high

So you can make no child cry

When you made my loved ones bleed

Your demise was guaranteed

You cannot make my heart less pure

———

All praise be to the people you tied

All praise be to the knives that we hide

All praise be to the fire bright

That will burn down all your might

All praise be to the mothers you killed

All praise be to the babies you drilled

Written in the bones of my love

Is the future that we dream of

All praise be to families you ripped

All praise be to the people you stripped

Written in the core of my life

Is that one day you’ll feel great strife

All praise be to the Mother’s world wide

———

I’d rather be free than be yours

It’s a fire, it’s a war

We will burn your prophets down

We will riot in your town

I’d rather forget all this pain

All your want, all your disdain

I remember all around

There’s the everlasting ground

I’d rather hold my people high

So you can make no child cry

When you made my loved ones bleed

Your demise was guaranteed

You cannot make my heart less pure

———

For every single drop of blood you’ve spilled

The Goddess, She will have you burned and killed

For every single tie of love you’ve torn

The people we will all rise up, reborn

We will live on long past your death

We will renew the Mother’s breath

You doomed yourself when you made me

To symbolize eternity

You doomed yourself when you made my friend hurt

Made him hurt like so many on this earth

One day the earth will take back all you stole

One day I will make Her promise unroll

For every single lie that you did build

———

I’d rather be free than be yours

It’s a fire, it’s a war

We will burn your prophets down

We will riot in your town

I’d rather forget all this pain

All your want, all your disdain

I remember all around

There’s the everlasting ground

I’d rather hold my people high

So you can make no child cry

When you made my loved ones bleed

Your demise was guaranteed

You cannot make my heart less pure
