Crimson Bows and Arrows (AoT)

Unknown are the names

of the flowers that have been trampled

Birds have fallen to the Earth

and long for the wind

Prayers won't solve anything

Only the will to fight

can change the here and now!

O pigs who laugh at the resolve

to walk over corpses to move forward

Livestock complacency? False prosperity?

Give us the freedom of dying,

starving wolves!

The humiliation of being caged

is what triggers us to fight back

We hunters slaughter prey

beyond the castle walls,

consumed with surging bloodlust,

as our crimson bows and arrows

pierce scarlet holes into the twilight.
