I walk down this lane The narrow path of this lush dry land Where our resources avail us not nor our destiny. For every night we fight And every morn we mourn From the torment of the hands above, Hammering our vision and barricading our success. O Compatriots! It is time To live our time For our armour of clamour is outworn. Raise the sword of freedom And cut loose this ******* That has enslaved us.

The Revolutionist
I walk down this lane The narrow path of this lush dry land Where our resources avail us not nor our destiny. For every night we fight And every morn we mourn From the torment of the hands above, Hammering our vision and barricading our success. O Compatriots! It is time To live our time For our armour of clamour is outworn. Raise the sword of freedom And cut loose this ******* That has enslaved us.
I'm from a beautiful country, with many resources but we understand not what to make use of it 'cause our government embezzled all our income forgetting the masses. Stanza 2: we are fond of keeping silent over whats tormenting us but we fight with ourselves when night comes, blaming our destiny and cursing our ancestors, and when morning comes, when we meet with our friends we mourn over what we brooded over at night. That's the cycle we live in. But the voice of the Revolutionist is never heard 'cause he's afraid of the aftermath of his revolution.
