Break the chains and do not sink
Open your hearts to the suffering
Stand, oh, stand, even as alone
Courage to light the dark undone
Injustice built into our walls
Silence bought with creature comforts
Weapons borne of privilege
Make victim the helpless
Conquest and abuse
The system: oppression
Justice is now privatized
Only for those who can buy it
Law does not equal justice
And privileged power overrides law
One's value does
Not change because
You cannot see
Their worth;
Wrong is sold as right
Evil's shrewd veneer
The virus, welcomed
Through how it appears
Regard the weak
Stand now
Will our reign of terror end?
On whom can the weak depend?
We've sown a whirlwind
And the harvest has come
Disaster is at the door
One's value does
Not change because
You cannot see
Their worth
Break the chains and do not sink
Bring light to the suffering
