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
