The Untitled SongA Poem by TSelenaThis is a song I wrote about people who overcome tragedy.Verse: This is a song undeserving of a title This is a song of my deepest regret In the name of all things sacred, desecrated by all the hatred That feels as if to all these hearts it’s spread I honestly cannot even describe it The way these emotions flooded into my heart Too watch something that swallowed, so much space and now it’s hollow A place that is by death marked... Chorus: Who gave you permission to tear us down! After our forefathers had labored for all those years We build it up, and you break it down! Igniting the fire of our worst fears So, we won’t give you anymore power! We won’t give you more of what you’ve stolen, You are the monster, you are the evil, you are the thieves That stole this all from me, But we remain strong, hope you can see Verse: This is a letter to your burning souls We will forever triumph March through valleys of loss, and for the cost Of making hallow what you corrupt A symbol of the strength of a people Torn down for your malignant views Your sickly cancer, your sinful banter Will only get you more hell to pay, and someday soon Hook: We will rise up, brothers and sisters Children of the weak, the weary We will conquer, all you stole from us Take it back before the day is over... Chorus: Who gave you permission to tear us down! After our forefathers had labored for all those years We build it up, and you break it down! Igniting the fire of our worst fears So, we won’t give you anymore power! We won’t give you more of what you’ve stolen, You are the monster, you are the evil, you are the thieves That stole this all from me, But we remain strong, hope you can see Bridge: And if this song makes you livid I’ve done part of what I came to do I also want you to know that we won’t bow down To the evil thoughts that reign inside you Hope that your blood will boil The work that you toiled Will not prosper against us! We are the chosen ones...the scarred ones, the brave ones, the unrelenting, We will get back up! Chorus: Who gave you permission to tear us down! After our forefathers had labored for all those years We build it up, and you break it down! Igniting the fire of our worst fears So, we won’t give you anymore power! We won’t give you more of what you’ve stolen, You are the monster, you are the evil, you are the thieves That stole this all from me, But we remain strong, hope you can see © 2011 TSelenaAuthor's Note
