Songs of Hope - Singing

Give me rage

This protest is a riot now

And we’re so damn sick of crying out

While they all ignore our pleas

Give me flame

Let it spark from your raised fist

When’s it gonna end, when will it give?

I’m tired of having to live like this

———

Give me flame, hey Prometheus

Give me strength, just like Atlas

Give me hope, oh Pandora

Give me your fighting soul, Cassandra

———

Give me a voice like Arachne

Give me bravery like Daphne

Give me resilience, Briseis

Give me recklessness, Icarus

———

Give me rage

The hurting is still smouldering

And superheating my soul’s veins

And turning into lightning

Give me flame

I’m not scared of anything

And I’m not even scared of dying

A riot’s sparked from our silent screams

———

Give me flame, hey Prometheus

Give me strength, just like Atlas

Give me hope, oh Pandora

Give me your fighting soul, Cassandra

———

Give me a voice like Arachne

Give me bravery like Daphne

Give me resilience, Briseis

Give me recklessness, Icarus

———

Surrounded by the dead

I am surrounded by the dead

———

Hey Eurydice

I can feel you with me

Hopefully I don’t turn back

So please don’t call for me

Hey Eurydice

We’re almost back to the living

I learned my lesson this time around

And I’m not turning

Hey Eurydice

Do you feel the soft grass on your feet?

I close my eyes, you wrap your arms around

You’re here around me

———

We’re pulling them to life

We are pulling them to life

———

Give me flame, hey Prometheus

Give me strength, just like Atlas

Give me hope, oh Pandora

Give me your fighting soul, Cassandra

———

Give me a voice like Arachne

Give me bravery like Daphne

Give me resilience, Briseis

Give me recklessness, Icarus

———

Give me rage

They can’t ignore us anymore

All our strangled voices, clear as one

And we’re gonna make them pay

Give me flame

The pain of being no-one

The time for feeling that pain is done

And it’s time to step into the dawn

———

Give me flame, hey Prometheus

Give me strength, just like Atlas

Give me hope, oh Pandora

Give me your fighting soul, Cassandra

———

Give me a voice like Arachne

Give me bravery like Daphne

Give me resilience, Briseis

Give me recklessness, Icarus

———

From a song, from a song, from a song composed with love

By the humble heartbeats of the thousands of us

From a song, from a song, from a song composed with love

The kingdom falls, the kingdom falls, and we rise up
