capital punishment

Almah

One million of worms incite the fear
One million of victims lost and killed
One more statistic for the news
Another family cries, just one more bill

They take your right to protect yourself
Steeling your guns, your pride and realm
Capital punishment
Falls only on you

Oh! no more ilusions
I'm not a number
Oh! no more ilusions

Which human rights they defend indeed?
What prison is colder, your or their?
All values reversed in the name of greed
By 16 they had learned
How to put you on knees

They take your right to protect yourself
Steeling your guns, your pride and realm
Capital punishment
Falls only on you

Oh! no more ilusions
I'm not a number
Oh! no more illusions
I'm not a number
Oh! no more ilusions
I'm not a number
Oh! no more ilusions

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room
Just like moons and like suns
With the certainty of tides, still I'll rise

Oh! no more ilusions
I'm not a number
Oh! no more illusions
I'm not a number
Oh! no more ilusions
I'm not a number
Oh! no more ilusions
