Rage rises

Don't hold back

Rage rises

Rising rage,

break the cage.

This next stage

holds the age-old

secret.

-

For all those

who'd rather be dead:

open thyne arms,

receive,

the one and only gift,

deceive no more,

a swift move for sure

to that which harms.

-

Let it out,

let it go.

Kiss your foe,

crush your friend.

Put an end

to all that fake shit.

-

Make it your mission

to spark a vision.

Today we all

drop our masks

to see what lasts

when we stand tall.

-

Don't please,

don't fit in.

This is how you win:

Walk naked in the streets,

paint sacred buildings

for the sake of

- red faces.
