We Must Retaliate
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
That night we were searching a shoulder to cry on
Leaning heads on the shoulder of war
Silently letting our children go
(They go, they go, they go)
Watching the sparrows fly
Into the narrow ravine in the sky
Once we wished upon a star
Now we’re shooting stars at daylight
Up on a hill- a soldier’s dying word
What is that in the fog?!
His whisper then becomes a scream
The piper got himself some new machinery
Bravo team to alpha leader, target is on sight
Asking for permission to pursue the fight
Permission granted, bravo team, green light, get to go
Abort! Mission compromised, these bastards somehow know
Armies will not stop me
I have won
When they’ll take one down
A thousand more will come
The stabs that once tore my back
Scarred into sheaths for daggers
I’ll avenge this blood of Cesar
You sheep in Brutus leather
Look high above the clouds, beyond the human reach
Madly crafted aircrafts, diving into the breach
Speeding winged destroyers, black metallic wraiths
Bombing the horizon, diminishing our lives
Cities rattle loosely, as fragile as a glass
Shattering beneath the green flame’s power-lust
It all seems so hopeless
We cannot possibly overcome those foes
The enemy’s unstoppable
Mankind’s future remains unknown
Fall back, regroup at delta hq1
We must reconvene with headquarters, the damage’s done
We need to understand what we’re facing, we need another plan
I fear, my friends, that this war has just begun
Is that headquarters? Did they answer our call?
The line is dead commander, the bombs began to fall
I fear we’re on the brink here; we need some backup, fast!
No military in history faced an enemy so vast
Sing me a song and I’ll tell you a story
A tale of a place I once knew
Where my future was young
Where I’ve sunk down my worries
A place where a daffodil grew
And we wished to the stars
When we saw them get closer
And they took away breaths
And I’ll never return
Sing me a song so I could remember
How it is to be among friends again
It all seems so hopeless
We cannot possibly overcome those foes
The enemy’s unstoppable
Mankind’s future remains unknown
This was just a bitter sweet endeavor
This was just a bitter sweet endeavor
Sing me a song
