The Curse the Dappled Light
Defiance Amidst Deception
Lyrics
Even the politicians marvel
Even politicians are surprised
That you still believe
That you still have faith or trust
They would deem
They would consider
To serve you.
To serve you
The land lies groaning,
The land is in distress
The mountains huddle closer
Mountains draw near in fear
For fear of what
Fearful of what the future holds
The coming years will bring.
Anticipating the challenges ahead
Those who tricked us once
Those who deceived us previously
Have come back round to try again.
Have returned to attempt once more
Why won't you admit
Questioning why one won't acknowledge
Its only ever gotten worse?
That the situation has consistently worsened
Your vote adds weight to all they threaten,
Your vote contributes to their threats
Your trust the only mandate that they need.
Your trust is the only authorization they require
And if they crush our fierce rebellion,
If they suppress our strong resistance
If they stamp out defiance-light,
If they extinguish the light of defiance
I'd sooner cast off subordination
Prefer to reject submission
And believe in reprisal, and die for spite.
Choosing to believe in retaliation and die defiantly
And even if the fights forgotten
Even if the struggle is forgotten
And our rebellion is erased.
If our rebellion is wiped out
As the rubble of resistance buries us,
As the remains of resistance bury us
We'll never lie in cowards graves.
We will not end up in coward's graves
