Rebels of the Gale

#FolkAcoustic #CinematicAmbient #PopBalladRock [ Lyrics_to_Melodies ] [Genre] Celtic Punk / Celtic Rock / Irish Folk Rock [Title] Rebels of the Gale ( Arirang on the Black Earth ) [Verse 1] Hands calloused, torn, yet we still held the line, Carving our story through the frost and time. When morning broke, we faced the bitter cold, Holding a dream that never will grow old! [Pre-Chorus] And then the dark wind blew across the night, The iron train came crashing through the light! They stole our names and trapped us in a cage, Just a number written on a page! [Chorus] We are the wild ones, rebels of the gale! Koryo-saram, here to tell the tale! The fire of Arirang is running in our blood! Sing out the sorrow till hope turns to a flood! [Verse 2] In wooden cars without a ray of sun, We rode the rails until the day was done. Thrown to the barren wastes beneath the sky, We dug the dirt and promised not to die! [Pre-Chorus] The winter tried to freeze us to the bone, We held our hands and stood up on our own! No sandstorm screams could ever drown our voice, We made our stand, survival was our choice! [Chorus] We are the wild ones, rebels of the gale! Koryo-saram, here to tell the tale! The fire of Arirang is running in our blood! Sing out the sorrow till hope turns to a flood! [Bridge] Look at the hands that brought the desert bloom! Look at the light that broke the darkest room! Cross every ocean, we are still the same, The Arirang inside us is an everlasting flame! We are the wild ones, rebels of the gale! Koryo-saram, here to tell the tale! The fire of Arirang is running in our blood! Sing out the sorrow till hope turns to a flood! [Outro] Soaked in the warmth of the morning sun... Singing our song till the dawn is won... (Arirang, Arirang, Arariyo!) We are still standing! (Arirang, HEY!) [End] "The term 'Koryo-saram' refers to ethnic Koreans residing in Central Asia, who trace their roots back to the former Soviet Union."
