Wild Fire, Pt. I
Unmasking Cowardice: The Fire Within Dawn Ray'd's Powerful Allegory
Lyrics
Is it duplicity,
Questioning whether it's duplicity.
A performative racist deceit,
Reflecting on performative racist deceit.
Cheap shock theatre
Considering if it's cheap shock theatre.
To which we should pay no heed?
Suggesting that such theatrics should be ignored.
Or is this real?
Pondering the authenticity of the situation.
The sincere language of cowards?
Positing sincerity in the language of cowards.
Like the denial of Peter the Apostle,
Drawing a parallel to Peter the Apostle's denial.
Ashamed of your master,
Expressing shame in loyalty to a questionable master.
Of your pariah's gospel?
Questioning allegiance to a pariah's gospel.
I can't help but smile
Noting a smile at the fascists' insistence on having a master.
At the fascists curious insistence
Acknowledging the curious nature of fascist demands.
Of demanding to have a master
Highlighting the irony of calling it resistance.
And daring to call that resistance.
Challenging the legitimacy of such resistance.
Run, like rats through a sewer,
Using metaphor: Run away like rats through a sewer.
Like roaches from torch-light run!
Extending the metaphor to roaches fleeing torch-light.
Fear now cold days light!
Elevating fear in the absence of the light of truth.
There is nothing in these songs
Asserting no shame in the content of their songs.
Of which to be ashamed,
Emphasizing pride in the topics they sing about.
Everything we sing about
Declaring openness and transparency in lyrics.
I'd just as plainly say.
Expressing straightforwardness in their song themes.
For the noble flame of integrity
Stressing the enduring power of integrity.
Will surely always win,
Asserting that integrity will always prevail.
As dawn brings the reckoning.
Drawing a parallel to the reckoning brought by dawn.
