Because they kill our angels before dawn, 
the last song in the world fades in the dark, 
so we are left with silence in our hands 
with nothing to touch but water and wind, 
yet we will invent new words to express 
cruel crimes we witness with our bleeding eyes. 

Though they destroy the things we treasure most 
with harsh intention to depress our hearts 
and break our minds with sorrow of our loss, 
we create new treasures from bleak despair 
because we are rich with truth in our hearts 
which always flows beyond their grasping hands. 

Each time they attempt to erase our names, 
and clear our bodies from space of the world, 
we bloom again from nothingness of time 
and flourish with pleasure from pain of fear, 
for we sprout from abundance of the Earth, 
too copious for them to ever control. 

If they scatter our stories in the wind, 
attempting to deny our right to live, 
we become fertile seeds in distant lands 
where we proliferate from barren faith 
so we return to valleys of our dreams 
when we invade old homelands of our hearts. 

Because angels resurrect before dawn, 
the first song in the world glows in the dark, 
so we translate grim silence in spry words 
that bloom as apples from abandoned trees 
through restoration of forgotten truths 
as witness to cruel crimes they try to hide. 

We hold the fallen angels in our arms, 
cradling classified treasures of our hearts, 
to chronicle their stories in our books 
so we remember every broken soul 
in names that vanished centuries ago, 
preserved in coded tales of ancient myths. 

The more they try to stomp us in the dirt 
the more we rise from dragon teeth of faith, 
sewn by the hand of Cadmus with respect, 
to form brave army of the trodden-down 
who cast the tyrant in pit of the past 
and build new nation on ruins of fear. 

Though they destroy the system we design 
with purpose to control our dreaming minds, 
we build better system from learned mistakes 
based on liberty and justice for all, 
for we are angels rising from the Earth 
to sing with wisdom that will never die.
