Walk Like a Panther - Algiers

We won’t be led to slaughter

This is self-genocide

It’s the hand of the people that’s getting tenser now

And when we rise up…

Woo, I feel it coming down because

You lived your life in the sunshine

You bought your way out of Hell

You paid the toll with the souls of your people

Then you absconded to the tower up on the hill

Until way down in the valley

You heard a terrible sound

The killing noise that just followed you closer and closer

Until it found you out and read the charges that brought you down

You took the names of the masters

You burned your children for Baal

Hey, you sold your sons and your daughters for silver

And gave over everyone and everything for your will

You made a whore of the struggle

You made a joke of our shame

So this time we’re gonna break down the breakdown of meaning

This is a final execution

It’s our endgame

We won’t be led to slaughter

This is self-genocide

It’s the hand of the people that’s getting tenser now

And when we rise up…

Woo, I feel it coming down

When everything that was solid

Finally melts into air

And the champagne runs sour

Will we finally have your ear?

It should be murder for murder

For what you did to the cause

It should be straight retribution

But we’re your flesh and your blood

We’re your fate and your fortune

The promise you couldn’t keep

Reconcentration of power

The terror under the street

We are the fight for survival

The sum of all your defeat

The sum of all your betrayal

The love that you’d have to die just to feel

We won’t be led to slaughter

This is self-genocide

It’s the hand of the people that’s getting tenser now

And when we rise up…

Woo, I feel it coming down
