me, I control that way
I clap my hands and it goes away
we are forced to walk a path that is not ours
we are pushed and we are shoved to complete our tasks
in the midst of all our pain, I discovered a power
one that forced a whole regime to cower
stab the knife into me
try to twist it, try to turn it
tear the soul out of me
try to to quash it, try to burn it
I clap- you let go of me
eyes are frozen, lack of motion
clap twice- you don’t exist
what was horrid, no longer solid
LIGHT OUT!
me, I set us free
our captors now the recent deceased
I clap once, light on, light on
I clap twice, light out, light out
our foes are dropping like flies as we run for the door
we are no longer slaves any more
stab the knife into me
try to twist it, try to turn it
tear the soul out of me
try to to quash it, try to burn it
I clap- you let go of me
eyes are frozen, lack of motion
clap twice- you don’t exist
what was horrid, no longer solid
(intsru bridge)
I clap once, light on, light on
I clap twice, light out, light out
I clap once, light on, light on
I clap twice, light out, light out
I clap once, light on, light on
I clap twice, light out, light out
