SONG FOR THE ANONYMOUS #4

A land, a prison built by it's own citizens
And all my friends were there
They were love -- without a care
I cried on

Within those four walls were strong arms beckoning
Steam from the vents below
told us of an April snow
Birds were gone

But then we faced those four walls hammering
Up above, a patch of light
told us of the coming fight
It was on

And as our lovers cried
and as our brothers died
we sang our fearless song through the night to the dawn
Oh the long tones

I saw a prison built by it's own denizens
And I met my family there
Once were lost without a care
But now they fight with rage and daring
Nothing but the clothes they're wearing
Now we're cracked our souls lay bare
and are gone

And as birds rip seams in the sky
Upward turned faces scan and cry
Barriers breached we rise, we rise
we rise

Ooh we rise
Ooh we rise
