Avenge Luisita

Avenge Luisita 

(Left-wing version of "Avenge Dresen" by Rahowa)



 It was 2004, long time ago for as we know 
When the policemen and soldiers, they came from road 
They appease the strikers but they kill men and women alive 
Many farmers died 
Oh tell me why, oh why, I must cry 

Again like Mendiola Like hell as we see ya 
The government bragged their CARPER 
But the program couldn't get further 
As the farmers shout their pleas 
And the rest as they see 
Land to the tiller as they want to speak 

 An agreement handed down 
They will not kill the strikers down 
But the Aquinos were wearing their traitor’s crowns 
And as the people watched in vain 
Down poured a fiery rain 
My heart is filled with pain 
It’s such a shame 

 Luisita must be avenged 
Comrades, we must make amends 
Until justice is served, we shall not die 
I hear the voice of the peasants cry:
"Avenge Mendiola, hacienda Luisita…”

 A terrible holocaust - we must avenge at any cost 
The peasants, masses waged its fight, 
because the truth is always right 
Just hidden out of sight on that night 

 Don’t tell me lies about the investigations 
’Cause I’ve got some news for you 
don’t tell me lies known as promises 
’Cause to the traitors I ain’t crying over too

A warrant handed down
They arrest the implicators down
While the system still wearing their traitor's crowns
Some of them faced death in vain
And as the people watched in vain 
Down poured a fiery rain 
My heart is filled with pain 
It’s such a shame 

 Luisita must be avenged 
Comrades, we must make amends 
Until justice is served, we shall not die 
I hear the voice of the peasants cry:
"Avenge Mendiola, hacienda Luisita…”

 A terrible holocaust - we must avenge at any cost 
The peasants, masses waged its fight, 
because the truth is always right 
Just hidden out of sight on that night
