Do you hear the people sing, singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people, who will not be slaves again
When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes
So never kick a dog because he's just a pup
We'll fight like twenty armies and we won't give up
So you'd better run for cover when the pup grows up!
If I speak, I am condemned
If I stay silent, I am damned
At the end of the day you're another day older
And that's all you can say for the life of the poor
By the witness of the martyrs
By the Passion and the Blood
God has raised you out of darkness
I have bought your soul for God
The day begins, and now lets see
What this new world will do for me
Look down, look down, you'll always be a slave
Look down, look down, you're standing in your grave
Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.
