The Submerged Tenth

Lyrics for The Submerged Tenth

Monuments for tyrants Mass graves for the repressed We've inherited a wasteland A kingdom half-ablaze, in ruins From the margins, we choose to reject stasis "Success" our failure: to accept defeat To give up our ideals We're foreigners in our own countries And we have nothing more to lose Fanning the embers of discontent We'll write our own histories Call us what you will And, carrying no flags, we, carving our own niche Will throw back in your teeth all that you claim as truth
