Until my last breath

Find my anger, 
fuel my rage,
Sing my war song 
with the last of my breath,
Dance to the rhythm of my own heart 
and die with freedom on my lips.  

Anger born not out of my fear
But of my compassion
Rage carried in my veins 
From eons of repression
Violence fueled by the aggression
Towards my sacred soul 

Rip a cry out of me, Mother,
Gift me a war song
Rip my soul into pieces 
Bleed my heart out
To feed the hungry soldiers
To quench the thirst of the soil

Gift me courage, Mother,
And strength
To hold in my arms
The dying
To breathe power in the lines
Of my men
To carry the spirit of freedom
To lead and sing the war song
Until my last breath.
