Songs of Burning - She Still Lives

She wouldn’t’ve wanted a different world they say

She wouldn’t’ve wanted it any other way

When we come together we lose ourselves

When we stay divided we grow

She wouldn’t’ve wanted for you to care so much

She wouldn’t’ve wanted to use you as a crutch

When we come together we break ourselves

When we stay divided we glow

Or so I have heard so

———

This capitalist world that we’re forced to live in

This competitive cut-throat prison

This violent world that we’re forced to live in

This blood-red nightmare risen

———

But I am a warrior at heart

And I will not let them wrest apart

All of us strewn out throughout the lands

All of us who know we all hold hands

All of us united through the lands

All the world together takes a stand

And I am a fighter in my soul

I won’t let them take me and make me unwhole

When we all unite then victory

Will not lead to any tragedy

When we help all ones then victory

Will be for forever finally

———

She wouldn’t’ve wanted to share all that we had

She wouldn’t’ve wanted for you to get so mad

When we are together we hurt ourselves

When we are divided we go

She wouldn’t’ve wanted to be a spirit-thing

She wouldn’t’ve wanted to end all suffering

When we are together we fool ourselves

When we are divided we know

Or so I have heard so

———

This capitalist world that we’re forced to live in

This competitive cut-throat prison

This violent world that we’re forced to live in

This blood-red nightmare risen

———

But I am a warrior at heart

And I will not let them wrest apart

All of us strewn out throughout the lands

All of us who know we all hold hands

All of us united through the lands

All the world together takes a stand

And I am a fighter in my soul

I won’t let them take me and make me unwhole

When we all unite then victory

Will not lead to any tragedy

When we help all ones then victory

Will be for forever finally

———

Her spirit is above and all around us

Her heartbeat beats in us and it astounds us

Her spirit is in all the places where people reside

Her spirit tell us who we are is on the inside

Her longing is in all of our hurting

Her dreams they dream of all people healing

Her longing is in all the places where people reside

Her longing tells us who we are is softly untied

———

This capitalist world that we’re forced to live in

This competitive cut-throat prison

This violent world that we’re forced to live in

This blood-red nightmare risen

———

But I am a warrior at heart

And I will not let them wrest apart

All of us strewn out throughout the lands

All of us who know we all hold hands

All of us united through the lands

All the world together takes a stand

And I am a fighter in my soul

I won’t let them take me and make me unwhole

When we all unite then victory

Will not lead to any tragedy

When we help all ones then victory

Will be for forever finally454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aEFm1SZQm
