It's Nights Like This That Keep Us Alive

Carve the eyes out of our heads and slash our tongues if we scream

Throw the noose around the necks of the kin who sew and seek

For we are distant and too far fetched from the themes of unrest

Diverse in resistance - revamped in defying threat

Its nights like this that keep us alive

They shed our skin by the host of salvation

By the skin of my teeth retributions made serene

We never wanted it to be like this

We never wanted sympathy

Those eyes like knives throw a soiled glance of suicide

This torrid struggle is carnage to their fear

Master to servant gagged by tourniquet

Save your breath and savor this moment

For the oath of onslaught in spitting vile

Brings a pompous death to your throne

Its nights like this that keep us alive
