“The Possessed”

Who else can hear the victims’ cries?
Who would claim to know what’s hid inside?

Who would dare speak for another’s mind?
Who would dare act for another’s life?

Damned is our mark
That marks us for warfare
Lo! Hear our voice
Hear us and beware

Join us, allies
We grow
Join us, allies,
We go

Hands we hold
And heads we hold proud
Heads that know
And hands that strike out

Righteous dreams
Righteous deeds

Silence—we all violent tongues
Fight we tyrants for those silenced

Join us, allies
We love
Fall to us foes
We loathe

Hands we scold
And heads we make bow
Heads will roll
And our hands will tear down

We’ve heard their cries
We’ve heard the victim’s part
We know your hearts
We know what’s hid inside
Shadowed deceit
Apologies are dripping lies

Now comes our hard justice
Now comes a true dictum
Now comes what’s been promised
Now comes a new system

Now—now comes revealed—LOVE!

O we can see it now!
O we can see it now!

Free from all lies!
Equal and unitary!
Free from disguise!
Freedom everywhere!
