  1. Armed With Joy -:-- / 3:53

For a year, I held my breath
What edifice would the bastards tear down next?
Can’t hold your breath forever
Not when the fight depends on every one of us

We are fists raised and loud voices
Street-marching feet
We are arms locked, bodies braced
For the war machines

And we are open hands toward angry faces
We are swirling dancers claiming spaces
We wear steadfast smiles of subversive grace
And we celebrate because we own this place

These hateful thieves breathe our fear
They’ll choke if we transform the atmosphere
Look: the danger is persistent
So we arm our hearts with joy to resist it

We are fists raised and loud voices
Street-marching feet
We are arms locked, bodies braced
For the war machines

And we are open hands toward angry faces
We are swirling dancers claiming spaces
We wear steadfast smiles of subversive grace
And we celebrate because we own this place

Come, come with me let’s dance
Come, come with me let’s dance
Come, come with me let’s dance

Come, come with me let’s dance
Come, come with me let’s dance
Come, come with me let’s dance
Like we’ve already won

Come, come with me let’s dance
Come, come with me let’s dance
Come, come with me let’s dance
We’ve already won

We are open hands toward angry faces
We are swirling dancers claiming spaces
We wear steadfast smiles of subversive grace
And we celebrate
We celebrate

Come, come with me let’s dance
Come, come with me let’s dance
Come, come with me let’s dance
We’ve already won
