ARISE Blackbird

by Theophania Kapsali

ARISE Blackbird

that sings within night's depth

You were born to fly

not to be locked away n' die!

Blackbird that quietly sings,

take your eyes off the Dark, black sea!

You're not in chains! You never have been!

You're the freedom that sets others FREE!

ARISE Black BIRD!

OPEN YOUR WINGS!

DIVE into the empty

light of the dark, black sea!

Black bird that sings along

with the DEAD! It's time

for slavery to end!

OPEN your wings! Pick up

your weapons n' rebel against

those who in chains want to

put you in!

You were only waiting for this moment to arise...

It's time to show everyone

who has the upper hand in life!

inspired by the song "Blackbird" by the Beatles
