Awake

Bestow me your fear

Give me something to fight for

Let the sleeping blood in my veins flare

So I can pick myself up and head towards the war

-
I run
For the sun

I seek
Justice in thee

I fight
For our rights

Cries become faint! / Lies become replaced!
The sinners pretend to be saints! / All of their promises were fake!

Choose the battles to wage! / Use that stored up rage!
Put on your war paint! / Take back your pride today!

Wipe the grief from your face! / Idle no more is the phrase!
Don't let your name be disgraced! / Our gathered faith will never fade!

Act now before it's too late! / The government doesn't have a slate!
Don't fall victim to their cruel fate! / Don't let any more lives become erased!


I bleed
From your greed

I protect
The ones oppressed

I pray
For better days

-
In this day and age

Some things still need to be changed

Please pass the torch so I can light the way

And await for our brothers and sisters spirit's to awake
In the moonlight I howl
In the sunlight I rise

I fight again tomorrow
A war for our rights

I saw a protest sign that ended with "Wake your spirit"
Which meant wake up and support the movement for idle no more. For the cause needs all the help it can get. That sign inspired this piece. I hope you like it.
