Invade my breath
And occupy my spaces,
It's the world once built,
It's the world to remain.
Every violence is powered
By a strange amusement
That stands a hierarchy:
Soul over mind,
Mind over body,
Body over dirt.
We rise
Powerless but confident
Against the spell of the crowd,
Against the roles and the rules.
We rise to offer options.

Invade my breath
And occupy my spaces,
It's the world once built,
It's the world to remain.
Every violence is powered
By a strange amusement
That stands a hierarchy:
Soul over mind,
Mind over body,
Body over dirt.
We rise
Powerless but confident
Against the spell of the crowd,
Against the roles and the rules.
We rise to offer options.
