veins pulse to the rhythm of war, coils of wrath twist beneath the skin
Compelled into motion, dissidence manifests in kinetic form
Existential aggravation incites percussive reaction
Its not a choice, when survival demands action
A necessary sacrifice
Peace traded with blunted blows
What cost is too high?
When inaction leads to injustice and oppression?
Stoking the fires of conflict
Banners raised high
The intoxication of defiance
Stirring inside
But what consequence comes when we are driven by rage?
Obfuscation, contamination; of the purity of intention?
Marching down the path of no return, to welcome ruin
A calculated risk against the reward of retribution
The call for rising fists to meet faces of oppressors
What is an acceptable measure of violence
to counter a reign of terror
In an hour of need
There is no denying - our nature that compels us
So wield it in defiance
In the swelling fires of conflict (Conflict)
Sparks fly between the clashing of barbed fists
Blood soaked knuckles as bone breaches flesh (Breaches Flesh)
Bruised egos weep for the glory of vengeance
In the fever of hate
The vengeful voices cry out
"The cowards must be hanged"
