lt's a silence the lonely know in the fire the rainbows grows you can push it down my friend it will come up ten fold again
we will erase your name, we will show no restraint
how much blood must be shed on the streets of unrest we will bleed as long need be that river will remove you from history
we will erase your name, we will show no restraint
you have robbed us for many years but we have saved every last tear we have suffered all of your hate and now we march down to your gates
we will erase your name, we will show no restraint
Freedom, Glory, Be Our Name Freedom, Glory, Be Our Name
you think your power is secure when you startle us with the threat of war but fear has its limits too we are no longer scared of you
we will erase your name, we will show no restraint
we will burn your temple to the ground we will tear all your prisons down your gallows will be set for burning just before one last hanging
we will erase your name, we will show no restraint
Freedom, Glory, Be Our Name Freedom, Glory, Be Our Name
now we give you one last chance to do what's right and to let us dance or the hand of fate will become a fist a force your thugs can not resist
The fields where soldiers practice their killing can be a spread of green grass where the boisterous rainbow children may dance while the one who beams with ultimate command will merely be a smile (Written by Shamloo)
