Lyrics

Am I the scorching sun above Or the child exposed? Mimicking this wilting weed My lone shade in the desert Every drop of hope I had You drank your fill; excess spills down your beard The pharaoh, once your oppressor Now your paragon Screeching owls circles your gardens Screaming "blood guilt" Mass graves fertilize olive trees Our graves left unwatered Criticize our modest blossom While you leach our tongue Tell us all of your exceeding greatness Through "small, dะตath-spitting mouths" Fingers rise to flick the locusts That you rะตsurrect Mother Hagar smiles and wipes her eyes God has seen us writhe in dust Our thirst will be sated Our keys, kept, will open the floodgates
