Repressed until Dawn
The big bosses would hardly understand
How the workers suffer while sweating gold
Tilling fields never theirs with calloused hands
Working together, but working alone
The stakes are high, yet the rewards are low
We have done it thousands of times before
Like honeybees, good comrades come and go
Who does remain to the end anymore?
In this age-old war we were signed up for
Admission costs nothing, but winning does
The fight against the lords are lost for sure
It’s back to working on the harvest crops
We lie within our failed rebellion
And so we’ll stay, repressed till justice comes.
