Souls of Hope, Tyranny of Pain

Our eyes are burning with tears concealed to wear false courage
Our souls linger for hope and freedom like a slave
Time ebbs away , destiny looks the other way
As they sway from incarcerating the dream, we seek our women to pray.
Ours is moon facing the rise of a tide
Constantly bending the desire to live for crumbs to feed
Our wings fell off at the wake of the sun
And like the ocean on a silver night, our beauty shines in no one's eyes.
We tread softly on skulls of our beloved
Hymning justice to the ears of our own consolation
Our hopes ride trains to deserted realms where humanity looks with with the eye of the diseased
Only to return with curves of despair and descendant pains of oppression.
Upon shooting stars we have gazed through sleepless nights
Choked by the propaganda fed onto our throats like hunger is all they could see
Smiles died on the faces of our ancestors
As they passed on the gift of hope to our hearts to nations we reveal.
We are sons of a later revelation
Sowing our birthdays on moments beyond our death days
Black in the sense of perception yet with no lack of information
And to beginning of our generational liberty our joy shall remain at ease...
