We are the embers of a fire long gone
They rebelled with the ashes of burnt dreams
Each ember - a new beginning
Our ancestors built legacy in their blood
Written in the sacrifices they gave us
Revolution is the wealth they gave us
Freedom and liberation , we were born with the drive
To fight, to survive
Strength is a language only spoken in black tongue
A sacred whisper passed through generations
Reserved only for those who know
Our ancestors, our greatest power
They the foundation, in our continuation
The blueprint of our survival written in the stars
A guide, a light for the chance of freedom
We are universal - the cosmos is on our side
They lay the groundwork, for us to build on
We do this for our next generation
We do this as a continuum
For we are infinite, for we can not be ridden of
