We will not waltz to your war drums

🎵 We Will Not Waltz (To Your War Drums) – Song Lyrics

They said, “Leadership is like dancing with a girl,” But you pulled her to the floor, ignored her world. Wrote her bruises into choreography, Then danced in halls she’d never choose to be.

You call this order. We call it chains. Your silence thunders, But we won't play that game.

We will not waltz to your war drums, Won’t be your rhythm, won’t be your crumbs. We're not the silence that makes you strong, We’re the resistance—you’ve been wrong all along.

Tear gas lullabies cradle our youth, Bullets teach them the price of truth. They march with prayers on paper skin, But your guns don't know where justice begins.

Your power trembles, Behind its mask. We see the coward In every task.

We will not waltz to your war drums, Won’t be your rhythm, won’t be your crumbs. We're not the silence that makes you strong, We’re the resistance—you’ve been wrong all along.

We are the sons and daughters of the storm, Breaking curses that power deforms. You fear our rage, you fear our song— Because we were quiet—but never for long.

We will not waltz to your war drums (no more…) We’ll rewrite the beat ‘til your anthem’s gone. This is our chorus, fierce and free, You lead by fear—we lead by plea.

[Outro – spoken or sung softly] Leadership without love is a ghost in command. We’re not your subjects. We take back the land.
