The common thread that links
The present to every moment
Now left behind
Also binds the days
And years to come
And every cycle of oppression
And every scar left on the mind
Becomes a vein through which it runs
In this, a world bereft of light,
This a world in chains,
Which serve now only to remind them
Of their fall from grace
This, their reward for sacrifice,
This, for the war they waged,
This for which they gave their lives,
This, and nothing more, remains
In half forgotten songs and legends
Something of hope persists through time,
Waiting just beneath the surface
And kept alive, by Dreams and Visions,
Strength remains to turn the tide.
For they know,
Their chance will one day come:
When passions, suppressed, at last ignite
And revolutions feed the fire
In which these binding threads
Must one day break and burn
In this, a world bereft of light,
This a world in chains,
Which serve now only to remind them
Of their fall from grace
This, their reward for sacrifice,
This, for the war they waged,
This for which they gave their lives,
This, and nothing more, remains
