Algiers - As It Resounds

The time has come
To get from underfoot
Of the relentless oppression intended to cement our cultural regression
By combining as one
To halt its insidious succession
Of those who have lain false claim
To that which they are not destined:
The freedom of the human soul
Regardless of race, creed or color
No nation or person of any station has right to hold sway over another
Beings of light cannot be treated as material possessions
So we can no longer sit in acceptance of our own spiritual recession
A primary imperative
Is defense against attack
Though displeasing
For every bite received we must
Bite back
Spread our wings wide and take righteous flight back
Soar proudly through the skies
Restore our spiritual heights back
In doing so, cripple the White Crow and force it to the ground
And again see freedom's shape
And clearly hear its beautiful sound
As it resounds
