The Bleeding City
No Plagiarism!R73ppjvrUcYy2W8abvH4posted on PＥNAＮＡ

I see the marble towers reaching up towards the sky

I see the dust, I see the dirt, the beggars they can’t hide

I see the devastation hiding in your eyes

I see the marble towers reaching up towards the sky

This is the time

This is the place

We’re rising up

The human race

We are gonna take care of each other

We are gonna take care of our mother

———

And all my life I’ve prepared for this

All the times I’ve felt your life kiss

We will take back all they stole

We’ll get vengeance on them all

Here we come

———

I see the darkened scarring branching out upon your skin

I’ve waited for this moment and I know that we will win

All the ones who disappear, they are all out kin

I see the darkened scarring branching out upon your skin

This is our fight

This is our war

Rebellion

Love at its core

We are gonna take care of the children

We are gonna unlock every prison

———

And all my life I’ve prepared for this

All the times I’ve felt your life kiss

We will take back all they stole

We’ll get vengeance on them all

Here we come

———

They tore you from the ground, left your roots bloody

They stole me from my life, my community

They stole all that you love and beat it bloody

They tore me from myself and from my body

But when I see you wear the colours they bound you in

I know that us helping people can’t be a sin

When I see you wear the colours they bound you in

I know that we will have vengeance and we will win

———

And all my life I’ve prepared for this

All the times I’ve felt your life kiss

We will take back all they stole

We’ll get vengeance on them all

Here we come

———

It’s not wrong, it’s not wrong to hold a bowl over your head

It’s not wrong, it’s not wrong to want the ones who hurt us dead

It’s not wrong, it’s not wrong to want the world to rise instead

It’s not wrong, it’s not wrong to fight this war and we will win

Here we come350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4jNArROpq
