from the depths, we Rise

invocation for those rising from the ashes of silence

listen!
can you hear?

you’ve been holding your breath, caught up in fear,
but like waves rolling in, our victory is near.

come out, come out,
no need to hide.
we can finally breathe out,
like the dawn’s rising tide.

for leaping and dancing from our fiery depths,
truth is escaping,
along with all secrets she kept.

a giant red serpent spreads over the earth,
her lava now roiling, unbridled in birth.

they call her a curse, the villagers do,
for she breathes holy fire,
and she’s calling for you.

her voice ringing out,
she sings right through your being:
you will hear me!
you may fear me,
but you’ll know why I came.

remember! she roars,
my dear little warriors,
you’re done playing small,
stop suffering in vain,
you cannot be slain.

the chains that once bound us
have all come undone.

so when we’re done marching,
we’ll toast in good cheer,
and with glasses raised high,
we’ll scream to the sky:

enough is enough!
we’ll call out as one voice,
no more evil, no more lies.

we’ve taken back the children,
we listened to their cries.

now hear our solemn vow,
to all the mad circus performers:

your time is up.

take. your. final. bow.
