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
