The Battle of Sudden Flame Lyrics by Dawn Ray’d

To Know the Light

2023

Fuck the police, tear down the prisons
Fuck the state, disrupt its mechanisms
Rupture its fabric, action, action, action, action now
I hear through unofficial channels
In a house not so far away
Pigs savaged a child over nothing
Think he was born on the wrong side of a divide
Think he was born on the wrong side of a divide
His father of too much dignity
To accept the fist that rules them
His friends illuminate the town
Burned a van
Planning to douse those animals in diesel
For the noble cause of revenge
Revenge
Stories like this launch a thousand burning promises
Up into the sky
Stories like this launch a thousand burning promises
Up into the sky
Projectile as crude weapon
Says I will not support
I am better than all of it
And burn this all down
Fuck every copper that ever took a wage
Every blue bastard with his baton raised
A beast that even his master hates
Only a coward fights for the state
Fuck every copper that ever took a wage
Every blue bastard with his baton raised
A beast that even his master hates
Only a coward fights for the state
