Pass the Fist, Pacifist
Resist and Persist: Unveiling the Anthem of Defiance
Lyrics
Let them come a little closer
Expressing a willingness for confrontation or challenge.
To divide the weak from the prey
Highlighting a desire to identify and separate the vulnerable from the victim.
The general will fall upon his bayonet
Suggesting a leader's willingness to face danger, even from their own soldiers.
And the young will dig their own graves
Implies that the youth may suffer the consequences of conflict.
We never said we'd keep silent
Denying an intention to stay silent or passive.
We never promised to behave
Rejecting a commitment to conform or follow conventional rules.
We refuse to praise your violence
Refusing to endorse or applaud violent actions.
Your bullets won't keep you safe
Asserting that violence won't provide security or protection.
Brace yourselves
Warning to prepare for upcoming challenges.
We won't go back home
Declaring a refusal to retreat.
You're not welcome here
Explicitly stating unwelcome status.
Your words are poison
Labeling spoken words as harmful and destructive.
We can smell your fear
Sensing and recognizing the fear emitted by the adversary.
Your words are venomous and taste like hell
Characterizing words as poisonous and unpleasant.
We've heard enough of what you preach
Expressing fatigue with the preached ideas or opinions.
Don't pretend like you speak for God
Rejecting the claim that the speaker represents divine will.
When your tongue slithers and squirms like a leach
Criticizing insincere and deceitful speech.
We won't go silently
Emphasizing a commitment to resist silently.
We are a family
Asserting a sense of unity and shared identity.
We know what you are
Claiming knowledge of the adversary's true nature.
We've heard this song before
Recognizing familiarity with the situation or rhetoric.
We know the melody
Stating awareness of the recurring pattern or theme.
We see the chains in store
Perceiving the impending oppression or confinement.
For those bound in your slavery
Anticipating subjugation for those under the adversary's control.
We said we'd never keep silent
Reiterating a commitment to vocal resistance.
We promised to misbehave
Affirming a willingness to defy social norms and expectations.
So, here's a taste of your own violence
Promising a retaliation with a taste of the opponent's violence.
Our bullets will keep you safe
Claiming that their own actions will provide security.
Every breath that you release is filled with hate and vanity
Accusing the adversary of emitting negative emotions and self-love.
You and me could never be for now or for eternity
Acknowledging an incompatibility or impossibility of a relationship.
One and one does not make three, your words are killing me
Rejecting false arithmetic to emphasize the harm caused by words.
You and me could never be for now or for eternity
Reiterating the impossibility of a lasting connection.
We won't go silently
Reaffirming a commitment to resist silently.
We are a family
Reiterating a sense of unity and shared identity.
