Resist

Hold on with the claws of your heart

The fight has yet to be fought 

The war has yet to start

Nobody asked us if we'd like to enlist!

But the knaves still seek to be bought

Resist! Resist!

 

Paint with the colors of your eyes

A battle-field of charcoal and aquamarine 

Search for mine within the crowds of your allies

Remember! It's on the prices of the stakes that you must insist!

With our heads held high (or not at all) we shall win!

Resist! Resist!

 

Clutch on with the muscles of your brain

It is up to Little Us to make things right

with a pride to keep and a dignity to maintain...

But the thought is mightier than the fist 

In your darkest hour, become the light!

Resist! Resist!

 

Calculate with your fiery soul 

Count the figures with care as if they are silhouettes

My love of aquamarine and charcoal!

My frail, suave, kind-hearted beast

On you I'll always place my bets

Resist! Resist!
