Lyrics

There was nothing left for us to hold onto

Everything we could cling to was gone

When they pulled the plug

When they disconnected or ended something

That's when they turned their backs on you

That's when they abandoned or betrayed you

Their systematic efforts broke us down inside

Their organized actions broke us internally

We were torn apart

We were deeply divided

Thrown away and left to die

Discarded and left without hope


Lights out you got me

You affected me deeply

A new world is slipping through the cracks

A new reality or situation is slipping away unnoticed

Lights out you caught me

You captured me emotionally

And we didn't even have a chance

We didn't even have an opportunity

Lights out you fought me

You resisted or opposed me strongly

The blood stain left on our helpless hands

The lasting mark of our vulnerability won't fade from memory

Won't be forgotten

Will not be erased from memory


You need to stand up for your rights

Advocating for your entitlements is crucial

Or they'll take them too

Otherwise, they'll seize them as well

They want to hold you down to the ground

They desire to oppress you forcefully

And spit on you

And disrespect you

The more power that they have keeps them in control

Their increased authority keeps them in command

We gonna lead the fight in the end never to let go

We will ultimately lead the resistance to retain control


With all their money and greed

Using their wealth and greed, they aim to strip away all we possess

They're gonna take away all we have

Before they'll ever release you

Before they're ever gonna let you out

Trapped in this hopeless confinement

Stuck in this cage of despair

We'll escape from the falsehoods and deceit

We're gonna break away from the lies

We'll free ourselves from their deceitful narratives

We're gonna break away from their lies

We'll break free from their deceitful narratives
