Peaceful confrontation meet war machine
Seizing all civil liberty.
Honest balotation among banshee
Spilling blood on humanity.
You can not hide the face of death
Opression ruled by blood shed.
No disguise can deface evil, a masacre of inocent people.
No disguise can deface evil, stains the primitive sickle blood red.

Deviated lies, fear blinds your eyes,
Enforcing their truth through gun. 
Aggressive discipline and barbaric control,
Thousands of people cannot be wrong.

Growing opposition with words as ammunition,
Expressionsof life's liberty.
Aggressive discipline and barbaric control,
Spilling blood throughout humanity.
