Fight Back

Overcome

How can we fight back when we are the weapon?

The deceived against (the deceivers).

Rejoice in misery.

End up in slavery.

The gateway awaits.

Judgement is coming.

(Swallow the pill.

Inject the mixture.

Prohibit the questions.)

Made fools are the wise.

But foolish are the sheep.

One sided chemical war.

Fear.

Terror.

Turning ourselves against each others.

Will (they) mourn for us?

We are the weapon (they) built.

See through the lies.

See through their eyes.

Become the weapon (they) fear.

But, remember the one rule.

Do not become what you despise.

Fight with love.

Fight for the weakest.

Fight out of respect.

Fight for the next generations.

Fight for a better world.

Fight without violence.

Fight for love.

Fight for the future.

Remember hope.

Overcome fear.
