(Verse 1)
In the hills where shadows loom,
And the fields breathe in their gloom,
A restless spirit stirs at midnight,
For the cries of the weary ignite.
(Chorus)
We are the voices, raising loud,
In the night’s embrace, we stand proud,
With the banners waving high,
As the stars light up the sky.
(Verse 2)
With our hats on head and hearts on sleeves,
We march for justice, for all who believe,
The tollgate stands, it burns in our sight,
Innocence lost to the harrowing fight.
(Chorus)
We are the voices, raising loud,
In the night’s embrace, we stand proud,
With the banners waving high,
As the stars light up the sky.
(Bridge)
Through the rage of the night, we’ll carve our path,
With every heartbeat, we unleash our wrath,
A tale of defiance, it echoes and rhymes,
For the spirit of Rebecca transcends the times.
(Chorus)
We are the voices, raising loud,
In the night’s embrace, we stand proud,
With the banners waving high,
As the stars light up the sky.
(Outro)
So let the tollgate know our plight,
In the spirit of rebellion, we’ll always fight,
The Rebecca Riots, etched in our veins,
A legacy of courage that remains.
