Revolutionaries
By Thequietkid
Together we will stand.
(No one left behind)
Until the grass turns into sand.
(Fighting for all mankind)
We will hold this land.
Forever till the end.
Our will can never bend
Pull the band, stretch it tighter,
Bring the matches and the lighter.
They did not know we were the fighters,
In the shadows, we sit and listen,
To the enemy as they plan their mission.
One night I had a vision,
That every man and every woman marched to join our division.
They thought we would lay down and let them win.
(Ha) But they will never learn,
Light the match, spark the fuse, the fire of righteousness is not our concern,
So sit back and watch them burn.
A victory so great, our ancestors will turn in their graves,
Heavy slice to a devastating stab, more blood we start to crave.
Hear them coming down the hall,
Hold the line, form shield wall.
In the middle of the brawl,
Bow strings were drawn,
And away their vermin king crawled.
The band thins, growing weak,
It’s nearing its end.
Legend says when the band snaps,
We will rise again.
They think they’re safe behind their crumbling walls,
This is where their legacy falls,
This is how our destiny calls.
Together we will stand.
(No one left behind)
Until the grass turns into sand.
(Fighting for all mankind)
We will hold this land.
Forever till the end.
Our will can never bend
Thread by thread departs from the loop,
Snatching back as it’s detaching.
The desperate eyes of men it is catching.
Is this our moment? Is this our chance?
Descending from the clouds is a war-like trance,
Enchanting sword, axe and lance.
Remember the past, and all that was cast,
(They humiliated us)
They treated us as their slaves.
(We became outcasts)
No more will we endure, it’s time to raise our blades.
(They created a monster………little did they know…this monster has sharp teeth)
(This monster never sleeps!)
Earth shakes and ice breaks as the band crashes to the ground ,
Waters rage and fires blaze, we are Lucifer’s hellhound.
Release the pigeons with the message because it’s time for them to dig their graves,
In the years to come, when the injustice is undone, no one will remember their names.
Brothers and sisters, we’ll be immortalised as the saviours of the human race,
We’ll live forever in every book, bringing life into every page.
The fables of courage and tales of rage.
Once, we were all prisoners locked in a cage,
Then the prophecy was fulfilled, a quest heroes would attempt age after age.
(“Legend says when the band snaps we will rise again.”)
Ghosts of the fallen, the old and the young,
Echo through the valleys in the form of a traveller’s tongue.
The cries of the wounded branded, like hot iron, into the minds of the skalds,
Who mournfully recite the dying breaths in the halls.
Live for the moment but never forget,
We would not be here if it wasn’t for the sacrifice of the dead.
Together we will stand.
Until the grass turns into sand.
(No one left behind)
We will hold this land.
(Fighting for all mankind)
Forever till the end.
Together we will stand.
….
Together we will stand.
….
Together we will stand.
