For the Wretched of the Earth by Once Upon a Flatline Lyrics
In our graves we do reside
Forgetting everything about our lives
(Like seconds, years pass right before our eyes)
They have broken us
Taken our rights
(The heaven above has turned a blind eye)
Long given up on finding strength inside
Somewhere still, a flag waves on
Whether or not
The world is listening
We are the People and we will sing
Each one of us has a reason why we fight
The darkest night will end and hope will become our light
(In this den of regret the air smells of damaged flesh)
So many souls who long to forget
(These docks have seen evil, its cold and it's cruel)
This life will steal the pride from you
Long given up on finding strength inside
Somewhere still, a flag waves on
Whether or not
The world is listening
We are the People and we will sing
Each one of us has a reason why we fight
The darkest night will end and hope will become our light
(This barricade won't fall, fall tonight we'll fight through the rain in the name of freedom, every mans' birthright
Bullets piercing as we lose the fight
My brothers dying beside me I hear their desperate cries
God just tell me why
Why
Why
Why
WHY)
Whether or not
The world is listening
We are the People and we will sing
Each one of us has a reason why we fight
The darkest night will end and hope will become our light
Whether or not
The world is listening
We are the People and we will sing
Each one of us has a reason why we fight
The darkest night will end and hope will become our light
(Did you see them lying side by side?)
Forgetting everything about our lives
(Like seconds, years pass right before our eyes)
They have broken us
Taken our rights
(The heaven above has turned a blind eye)
Long given up on finding strength inside
Somewhere still, a flag waves on
Whether or not
The world is listening
We are the People and we will sing
Each one of us has a reason why we fight
The darkest night will end and hope will become our light
(In this den of regret the air smells of damaged flesh)
So many souls who long to forget
(These docks have seen evil, its cold and it's cruel)
This life will steal the pride from you
Long given up on finding strength inside
Somewhere still, a flag waves on
Whether or not
The world is listening
We are the People and we will sing
Each one of us has a reason why we fight
The darkest night will end and hope will become our light
(This barricade won't fall, fall tonight we'll fight through the rain in the name of freedom, every mans' birthright
Bullets piercing as we lose the fight
My brothers dying beside me I hear their desperate cries
God just tell me why
Why
Why
Why
WHY)
Whether or not
The world is listening
We are the People and we will sing
Each one of us has a reason why we fight
The darkest night will end and hope will become our light
Whether or not
The world is listening
We are the People and we will sing
Each one of us has a reason why we fight
The darkest night will end and hope will become our light
(Did you see them lying side by side?)
