Verse 1
In the streets of Athens where shadows creep,
Dreams are buried and the silence runs deep,
Pockets empty, while the rich grow fat,
They sip their coffees, we’re fighting for scraps.
Chorus
Poverty’s the anthem, corruption’s the beat,
In the land of the ancients, we’re down on our knees,
Racism’s a poison, they’re feeding us lies,
Standing together, we rise, we defy!
Verse 2
Walls divide us, but we’re made of the same,
Fighting for justice in this broken game,
The system's rigged, and the truth’s hard to find,
Digging for hope in this rubble, we grind.
Chorus
Poverty’s the anthem, corruption’s the beat,
In the land of the ancients, we’re down on our knees,
Racism’s a poison, they’re feeding us lies,
Standing together, we rise, we defy!
Bridge
They promise the sun, but it’s just the rain,
Spilling our blood, tying us to the chain,
But we’ll light a fire, burn down the walls,
In the ashes of greed, we’ll shatter our stalls.
Chorus
Poverty’s the anthem, corruption’s the beat,
In the land of the ancients, we’re down on our knees,
Racism’s a poison, they’re feeding us lies,
Standing together, we rise, we defy!
Outro
From the depths of despair, we’ll scream and shout,
For a future that’s bright, we’ll break down the doubt,
Greece, hear our voice, as the sirens wail,
United in struggle, we will prevail!
