So much terror I have seen,
Fought endless years for their revenge,
Now I know this struggle ended nowhere,
I am remembering with shame.
I feel my time has come to fight for understanding,
I'm not defeated, I am not beaten.
Thrown into the darkest dungeon
I pay for my forgiving thoughts.
They may preach about the same convictions,
But they will distort these high ideals.
No ferocity will unsettle my beliefs,
I am not taken by the enemy.
Mechanisms of stagnation
As agitators rule the land.
They want to make us live in fear,
Yet all they get our unshed tears.
They want to make us live in fear,
Locked up in gloom for years.
Try to silence my voice,
But I'm not beaten.
No brutality will unsettle my beliefs,
I am not taken by their felony.
Mechanisms of stagnation
As agitators rule the land.
And a thousand miles away from home
I meet my expelled brothers,
Captured in a secret prison,
Isolation, regression, indignity for years.
No atrocity will unsettle my beliefs,
I am not taken by this agony,
Mechanisms of stagnation
As agitators rule the land.
They want to make us live in fear,
Yet all they get our unshed tears.
They want to make us live in fear.
I am not defeated.
