It's Nights Like These That Keep Us Alive

Himsa

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
