The Light Metal Cages, Steel Walls Brick and Mortar line these halls I hear the cry of mortal wounds Bombing sky’s against the moon Plagues of death and holocaust Polluted the sky’s and bloody storm drains Streets lined in bodies The heat decaying the day One light sacrifices the night As demonic dreams haunt … what light? That drains this city and set such fright What light shines in the night? Come forth ye mortal radiant sight Shine bright in this city Bring forth the youthful spirit Of a nation to come Stand firm on the rock of democracy … And watch the light The light that barely shines From a lighted torch that her maiden Holds She stands alone, still … The only remainder left of liberty Foreigners pass her still in awe the amazement But no one remembers the land of the free The home of the brave The scared red, white and blue Sails around the Capitol tonight As inside one single light burns The midnight oil Today we call on the light Stand proud, be brave And use your iron hammer To break the mortar and bricks And let the eagle sail free Jessica
