If martyr’s rise for the day …
if martyr’s rise for the day
what would they say ?
anxious to celebrate misery
at the nations anniversary
at the nations anniversary
reminiscing, back in the day
when hope & glory led the way
the “Sewura” and its cost
the comrades you lost
ideals, and visions you fought for
freedom, justice & equality for all
the price you paid for the nation
to prosper with dignity & protection
to prosper with dignity & protection
principles, so dear to your heart
betrayed by the comrades you trust
thousands jailed, & many more tortured
progress curtailed & dreams shattered
thousands jailed, & many more tortured
progress curtailed & dreams shattered
from the never ending slavery
hoping to be free
hoping to be free
dodging bullets and mines,
risking death to flee
one by one, things seems to fade
vision and hopes differed
once detested, began to flare
when nation stripped its honor
legacy of the generation
stagnant culture & tradition
poverty, corruption & repression
division, exclusion & isolation
dwindle by the day,
demonized by all
collective leadership,
to a one man dictatorship
The tyrant and his confidants
stand among the crowds
flowers on graves, & crocodile tears
stand among the crowds
flowers on graves, & crocodile tears
a deceptive display of remorse
Glory to our Martyr’s !

They are gone
never to come back
I hope they feel happy
I hope they sense good luck
for not seeing this
for not living in this dark
If they had to choose
If they had to pick
Which one would it be?
Which one would they seek?
Breathing with us?
Or printed with ink?
Would it take them long to choose?
Or would it be quick?
