Revolution Regained Lyrics

They came in the evening
Looking for a fight
The foreign Militia
Stole away our right

Three thousand miles away
Revolution regained
(Eyes) Eyes that lie and skin that scars

No introductions
Nothing left to say
See the destruction
How could it end this way?
This way?

Chorus

And in the evening
Something is seething
(Eyes) Eyes that lie and skin that scars

Chorus

And in the evening
Something is seething
(Eyes) Eyes that lie and skin that scars

Revolution regained

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I have a live recording and before this song Chris says it's all about East Timor. So I'd guess it's about the invasion of East Timor in 1999 by Indonesian gurrilas.

Don't really know about the politics but from what I recall there was a referendum in East Timor for independence from Indonesia. The independence vote was won, but then Indonesian-backed forces invaded, killing over 2000 people.

It fits with the lyrics
