 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I've been silent, I've spoken up	
I've been proud and I've had enough 
I've been everything under the sun	
But I've never had to face the barrel end of a gun 

I've lost brothers and countless men 
I'm drenched in white, but I'm drying red 
Strobe lights and a safe domain 
Silenced and stilled in the wake of a rain

How many will it take
How many will it take 
Before you defang the beast

Let us know it's okay to hide 
When some of us are sure that we won't make it alive 
Claim symbols from our enemies 
But a nine millimetre isn't gonna be one of these 

So I light a candle, once again 
Our women aren't martyred, they're slaughtered, you monster 
You're failing to recognise someone's daughter 

How many will it take
How many will it take 
Before you defang the beast

Yeah, how many will it take
How many will it take 
Before you defang the beast

And I will give blood, if they'll let me
I will open up my heart
I will hold out palms of mercy
I will tear myself apart, 'cos 

If I rip myself to pieces
It was done by my own hand
Yeah, you can't touch me anymore
You can't touch me anymore

Schools of victims won't sway speakers
Compassion's fire will come to you 
'Cos the first pride was a riot, baby
And rioting's what I'm made to do

'Cos how many will it take
How many will it take 
Before you defang the beast
