Rise Like Lions

I long to take my life, but I can’t, I must survive
I must grow stronger, I must set fire, I must ignite
To destroy that which destroys me
I’d give anything, I’d become incendiary
All my life I’ve internalized
The poison of your whispered lies
If only to elevate yourself
You’d gladly sacrifice everyone else
Paradises lost
Paradises never born
I would pay any cost
To see your paradise burn
Your heaven is my hell
My soul encased in this insufficient shell
My life is naught but labor
With vampiric thirst you savor
This prison
This panopticon
Will be the ash
I walk upon
Rise like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number
Shake the earth like deafening thunder
Our daggers drawn, their necks brought under
Rise like lions

It Ends With Us

Water is life, oil is death
A place named with the language of colonized kin
Poisoned soil, uninhabitable land
A people dispossessed yet again
The peoples whose suffering knows no end
And in the distance I see a silhouette
Of the new feudal lords
The oil barons and energy gods
The Tower of Babel, the panopticon
Our blood, spilled in the clay
Our flesh, poisoned by the world they’ve made
Our mother, with tar flowing through her veins
Each of us a tree in a forest razed
But we will do what we must
And the white man’s “burden”
of unending domination
Will fucking end with us
Water is life,
Oil is death
Under our blade
The black snake
Breathes its last breath

Burning Light

No allegiance with the bourgeoisie
No more servitude to the so-called elite
Weapons forged to make them see
What they've done to you and me
Capitalist civilization
Has led us all to devastation
To them we’re so far beneath
So trickle down, fill our lungs with shit to breathe
Their guns, badges, gavels, and cells
All weapons wielded against us
Beaten if we can’t be compelled
To do their bidding we endure this hell
The food you give us is unfit to eat
The air, unfit to breathe
Our limbs break in your machine
And for this, we should be pleased
Weapons forged to make them see
What they've done to you and me
And this is why violence it must be
A violence to make them understand our need
Fight back or fall before their blade
I cannot, I will not be their fucking slave
The sun dims on a quiet eve
A procession moves through the streets
Atop their throne they will see
Burning light from the wreckage of their machinery
Weapons forged to make them see
Weapons forged to set ourselves free
