Rage Against The Machine
Balaclava Clad
They charge, fully charged
Barging through barricades
Made up of human shields
Breaking bones, blood
Spilling on stone cold
Flags fold under the burning heat
Of hands that ignited them
Union Jack, black
Sky hangs low
And they duck slowly pushing forward
Over the border
Bringing this street and the next
Down to its knees
So pray,
For the lies on the lips of leaders
Are leading them astray.
