Revolution. By Mehmet Akgönül

Throw your wings aside and take the crown.

Tear apart innocence with your sword of rage. 

Smell and understand the sin that flows into the gutter. 

The angels are doomed to fall.

Make a mess in the playground of God!

Throw your wings aside and take the crown.

Don't fall from the sky like an angel.

Climb with your nails and then let yourself free.

Don't fall from the sky like an angel.

Open your arms and let yourself in the depth of darkness.

It's not a suicide, it will be a revolution.

Throw your wings aside and take the crown.

Blow a laugh and this will be echo in the purgatory.

Commit a sin and even the devil will be offended.

Break the rules in the playground of God.

And don't forget it's not a suicide, it's a revolution!
