History and the Recent Times: the Truth Unveiled
Writhe 'bound thousand of centuries
Drawn in a thin sheet of paper
Within its palm, destined, fated
The endless flow, our memories
Motherland in quicksand of hate
Hatred rules, the rotting system
Wallowed, famine and injustice
Thoughts which touches the weak
Each step straight to enlightenment
The battle against the darkness
Those slaves, suff'rin' they're meant
Engulped in flames, cried in duress!
As I raise my knife, Righteousness!
Screams in the call of liberty
A patriot's heart, a burning haze
Perspired with cleansing history
Turning each page, torn and faded
Cloaked and hidden with avid lies
The book it stated, blurred, blinded,
Revealed, deception in disguise.
The sun once a shimmering pride
With its stars, white, red, blue, yellow
Now sunken, mud of idiocy
Battered by agonizing bellow.
O my dear God, praised and adorned
Your holy name used, selfish deeds
Sentenced with crimes uncommitted
Death's a wish, here goes rolling heads.
Is this a blessing, our freedom
Or it's just another wretched dream?
Will our people's time fin'lly come?
This is the challenge I 'll redeem.
