Only At the Barricade

Only at the barricade
Shall our scores be settled

Only at the barricade
Shall they hearken to our cry

Only at the barricade
Shall our strength be more strengthened

Only at the barricade 
Shall they be forced to shiver and quiver

Only at the barricade
Shall they handover our hangover

Only at the barricade
Shall the slaves look straight into the eyes of their masters

Only at the barricade
Shall their quest for dialogue be meaningful

Only at the barricade
Shall we be able to swim in freedom

Only at the barricade
Shall we take over and possess our possession.
