Libertas Requiem by Margot Kix Lyrics
We're gathered here tonight
To pay respect
To those of us
Who had their lives ended
Before they should have
Now their souls shall rest
The ones who've fought since the crib
May on death find some peace
If Heaven's their destiny
Then so shall be
If Hell's their destiny
Then so shall be
If they're going anywhere even
Throughout all the meanings of being gone
We will remember what has been done
Have they died with a name
Or not
And as the familiar faces fade away
And the more examples our enemies try to make
Some of you may ask
Is this how it ends?
Fuck no!
They don't get to decide when it's over
Our souls won't be traded for the comfort
Of a coffin and a gravestone
I'd rather have the vultures eating my dead skull
Than spending the limited eternity of a corpse
Inside an expensive wooden box
With a flag covering it
We prophesy our own prophecy
We write down our own paths
They'll remember our actions
No need for epitaphs
Who told you that you could bury us?
Get out with your funerals
Revolution crematorium!
Walking Infernos melting the face of the dollar God
Our ashes in your lungs, making you cough
The return of Christ?
The Messiah's rise?
They brokenly repeat the same holy old lies
'Cause Jesus did die
And he ain't coming back
He was murdered on the cross to fed
The ego of the state
He was called a criminal
A terrorist
Nothing but a shame
Then they took his ideas and wrecked them into orders
To pray, to bow and then, maybe, love each other
Love the Pastor, love the Priest
But not the poor, not the queers
Let'em bleed
With the other un-chosen ones
The eye of the Rapture opens up
But you won't pass without a visa
Judgement day is today
Same day as payday
We'll get what they owe us
With action and faith
In the justice
But not the kinda that's been corrupted
By cops and fake Gods
And the odds of the filthy
The victims are the judge
And they all declare guilty
Carpe diem
Memento mori
One day we may be gone
But our cause won't be just a story
They'll tell their friends just for kicks
We'll be the tale terrorizing their children
The monster under the bed of the elite
The immortal enemy
Unstoppable anarchy
We're the ones breaking the illusion that brutality
Can beat popular force
Defeating the people? What a fucking joke
An army made of every troop in the world wouldn't be enough
But only if we stay together
Protect each other
And never-ever give up
Not a Requiem for freedom
A Requiem for those who died fighting for it
It's a reminder of why we have to rise up
'Cause dying with dignity ain't worth shit
When you've lived with your mouth shut
To pay respect
To those of us
Who had their lives ended
Before they should have
Now their souls shall rest
The ones who've fought since the crib
May on death find some peace
If Heaven's their destiny
Then so shall be
If Hell's their destiny
Then so shall be
If they're going anywhere even
Throughout all the meanings of being gone
We will remember what has been done
Have they died with a name
Or not
And as the familiar faces fade away
And the more examples our enemies try to make
