Womyn, Take Back The Night

by Gentle Dragon

It's a long hard road to follow
And we're running out of time
Would you follow us tomorrow
Will you leave your home behind

Will you pick up all your weapons
Are you ready now to fight
It's going to be a bloody battle
But we're taking back the night

Now you see "the men" in armor
In their hands they hold guns
You see they're going to harm her
And our fight as just begun

It is true we don't like violence
No one here has planned to kill
But we must protect our own
When there's no one else who will

Our Sisters raped in the street
Right before our eyes
"The Man", he says we're beat
But he always feeds us lies

It'a a long hard road to follow
And we're running out of time
Will you follow us tomorrow
Or will you stay behind
