Seven Days Of May Lyrics
Put your life on the line
To hesitate is a waste of time
No giving in to repent
Unto the system of the government
It's called the People's Republic here
The propaganda so sincere
Oh, what a joke and a blatant lie
From criminals ranking high
Born a political prisoner
Raised outside of the law
I'm gonna keep on fighting
Until I die for the cause
Put an end to hypocrisy
Lead the way to democracy
No longer will be play the fool
To brutalized military rule
They started forty years ago
We never could say yes or no
Million souls make our voice
We want the right to make a choice
Born a political prisoner
Raised outside of the law
I'm gonna keep on fighting
Until I die for the cause
Freedom, freedom calling
Out from the pain
Freedom, freedom falling
Seven days of may
They tried to show a peaceful path
Then it turned into a bloom bath
In the squarethey plan the game
That's when the thanks of the army came
They called the murders minimal
Described their victims as criminals
Dead souls like you and me
Who only wanted free society
Born a political prisoner
Raised outside of the law
I'm gonna keep on fighting
Until I die for the cause
Freedom, freedom calling
Out from the pain
Freedom, freedom falling
Seven days of may
To hesitate is a waste of time
No giving in to repent
Unto the system of the government
The propaganda so sincere
Oh, what a joke and a blatant lie
From criminals ranking high
Raised outside of the law
I'm gonna keep on fighting
Until I die for the cause
Lead the way to democracy
No longer will be play the fool
To brutalized military rule
We never could say yes or no
Million souls make our voice
We want the right to make a choice
Raised outside of the law
I'm gonna keep on fighting
Until I die for the cause
Out from the pain
Freedom, freedom falling
Seven days of may
Then it turned into a bloom bath
In the squarethey plan the game
That's when the thanks of the army came
Described their victims as criminals
Dead souls like you and me
Who only wanted free society
Raised outside of the law
I'm gonna keep on fighting
Until I die for the cause
Out from the pain
Freedom, freedom falling
Seven days of may

They tried to show a peaceful path But then it turned into a blood bath When in the square they plan the game That's when the tanks of the army came
They called the murders minimal Described their victims as criminals Dead souls like you and me Who only wanted free society
Born a political prisoner Raised outside of the law I'm gonna keep on fighting Until I die for the cause
Freedom, freedom calling Out from the pain Freedom, freedom falling Seven days of may
I remember when SOB came out, the band did an interview for Metal Edge or some magazine, and they said that this song is about the Tiananmen Square uprising in China back in 1989.
The theme being the protests of 1989 is obvious from: People's Republic, the Square, tanks, bloodbath. The events culminated in killings on the night of June 3–4 and were rather 'days of June'. May being a word easier to sing here must be the reason for the title.
