But rebellion was always there
A spark
A muted one, yes
But still a spark
And any spark
Can be set alight
With the right amount
Of fire
Of rebellion
And when the shots fired
When the bombs dropped
They dropped something
Far more dangerous
Rebellion
And so it began
The calls
The fights
The rebels
And the fire flickered
But then
It ignited
Far more powerful
Than anything else
And the calls came
Stronger
Like the battle cries
But determined for change
And so they tried to douse the flames
But blood runs thicker than water
So the flames burst
And the wood snapped
The hearth burnt
And they tried to stop it
Jailing people
Killing them
Injuring them
But flames don't go out
Without a fight
And when they stamped on them
The coals were left
Hot, burning coals
That still flamed
There's no stoking the fire
With the poker
You call yours
(it's not peace)
(it's not a solution)
Who's going to tell you
Murder isn't the answer
Who's going to tell you
Bombs, gunfire, am I missing anything?
Isn't the answer
Hypocritical
Two-faced
Deceitful
Liars
Am I missing anything?
The coals will flame
You will be the wood
And I will watch
Watch as a rebellion
Burns
And I will watch
As your façade
Comes to light
And I will watch
As you're brought down
To your knees
As scarred as the olive trees
As razed as the buildings
Begging for mercy
Echoes unheard
The embers will ignite
They will ignite
They will flame
And I will watch
As you're brought down
To your knees
As scarred as the olive trees
As razed as the buildings
Ready for that
Sweet
Sweet
Word
Revenge
