LOVE IS REBELLION

---

Being free to love is still a privilege, and even for the ones who have this privilege, it is a relatively recent achievement. Throughout history, marriage was not a manifestation of love, but an imposition and a transaction: people being bought and sold for marriage.

Many were hurt, imprisoned and even killed for trying to pursue true love. The progress and liberty we enjoy today is a result of a lot of fighting, a lot of pain, and many lives lost.

In recent years, more and more people are acquiring the right to love around the world, with the liberty it needs to be true and free. But there are still too many people who do not have the right of true love, either by legal and/or moral reasons. 

To these people who were not allowed to follow their feelings throughout history, and to the ones that still aren't, love is an act of rebellion.

As long as any form of love is a crime and/or a subversion, we will keep rebelling.

"Pray for their souls who died for love, for Love shall still be lord of all." 

Sir Walter Scott

It may seem

Like love is all about peace

And it may look

Like love is all about release

But don't get fooled

Many died fighting for love

So that you could

Love the one you love

They told you love is all about submission

They taught you loving is signing some rendition

Oh, but love is rebellion

Oh, but love is revolution

Lovers are the resistance

Love and fighting are in consonance

If they deny our love using their crown

We will uprise and take them down

Because love is rebellion

Oh yeah love is rebellion

You may think

Love is all pleasure and delight

But liberty 

Comes only with a fight

Our history is torn

Splattered with blood, sweat and tears

From people who endured the pain

Battling the most terrifying fears

Lovers were hunted

Since dawn of time

And what changed

Was their so called crime 

Still today 

Many fight for the right to be free

So much bloodshed

In seeking equality 

Many died for the right to love

Enough shaming, beating, shutting up

If even one cannot be free

Than no-one is really free

So we will rebel and make them all see

That we will not surrender nor agree

till everyone, all the world is free

Because love is rebellion

Oh  yeah love is revolution

Lovers are the resistance

Love and fighting are in consonance

If they deny our love using their crown

We will uprise and take them down

Because love is rebellion

Oh yeah love is rebellion
