Interlude to a Revolution

...And if there were a time when we should fear
And if they came to take our guns away
Would we rise to hold to our beliefs
And show them who still holds the power true

And if they turned to weapons that destroy
And took so many lives we had to fight
Could we resist the pain that was to come
When those we loved the most had died for truth

And if the states did fall to those who rule
And tyranny was the order of the day
Would those who cowed down to the powers that be
Rise up to fight that children might be free

And what would be the cost of all that passed
Into the night where darkness told the lie
That those who ruled were prisoners the same
For the masses rule and the few are soon to die...

Prelude to a Revolution

...And when ideas added fuel to the fire
Where partisanship divided left and right
And the people heard the tolling bell of doom

When handouts were the order of the day
And in their eyes we had no right to pray
No prophets need tell us what is to come

Where "How you feel" meant more than "What you learn"
When freedom to express was a flag they sought to burn
And righteous anger seethed within our veins

As crime was blamed on poverty and hate
And civil rights became inviolate
When peace was just a memory in our pain

When happiness gave way to primal fears
The tension became a scream of true despair
And hope was borne upon the winds of fate

As life became a burden to withstand
And weapons were prepared by innocent hands
A whisper of the battle we contemplate...
