let the riot roar let us open up the door
it will crash and boom
it will enter every corner of the room

let us bring them down
let us show them what we’ve got
to give them the final clutch of our pretty claws
as we head towards the land that was never ours

it belonged to men they were straight old white and pale
let us scorch the earth with our queerness until they burn

God he spilled his rays on this yellow land
he spilled its dirt in our hands
I rubbed the soil along his shining hem

no we won’t regret the destruction
no we won’t forget
as we reach a dawn where the sunlight paints us gold
with our freedom roaring laughing as an open torch

death has followed us for centuries
death has taken its toll
it is time to roam live breath stand tall in their halls

we were marked with pink they put triangles on our chests

we’ve been sterilized
we’ve been hanged burned slaughtered and drowned

we’ve been sterilized
we’ve been hanged burned slaughtered and drowned
