Lyrics
I wanna sing you a melody
Make it ring through the 21st century
You pierce the veil like an MRT
Give shape to a strength
That should be on the front pages
Breaking the windows and cutting through smoke
They sold off your sleep so many years ago
Emerge from the ashes of a burnt-up time
Now rise and shine
Annie, you scared them half to death
The day you left - cardiac arrest
When hospitals turn to factories
Siren sound for solidarity
Without a flag above and no
Hell below
Find a cure for this malady
Something that will go down into history
Draw a circle around you and me
Give shape to a strength
That bleaches CEO faces
Casting no shadows, drowned in the light
Go rise and shine
Annie, you scared them half to death
The day you left - cardiac arrest
When hospitals turn to factories
Siren sound for solidarity
Without a flag above and no
Hell below
And all my friends are socialists
They never would have wanted this
They raised their fists up high when you stood up
No oath to a sinking ship
No more saints lost in the bottom line
No more silence in the ICU
Rise and shine
No flag above, no hell below. Always together, never alone
The city's come to hold you in its breath
You took the air of our lungs when you left
Annie, you scared them half to death
