“Ignite a fire.” said the woman wearing a black mask. A fire within your minds to melt the shackles you’re forced to live with. Feel them, burning through your skin, and wake up from your silent sleep. Destroy them. They teach us to think that we live in freedom, teach us that we need to pay for bliss. You’re blind if you don’t see that we’re born inside a prison. Escape, never compromise. Once you are able to open your eyes acknowledge that we, we are the world, not them. Not some statute of a martyr paid with blood, not some technological comfort or artificial happiness paid with deceit. And we are dying, being rapidly swallowed by the abyss. “Her voice was deep, deep as the ocean, and each word followed the beat of our hearts.” “So I beg you, act don't react. Fill your lungs with that fire and don't be afraid to shout: Resist, revolt, rebel and rise, move away from their shadows and retake our lives. Revolution! Resist and rise! Never compromise!”
