Bilingual
When they come and pull me from my house
And they drag my body through the streets
And the sunโs so hot I think Iโll catch fire and burn up
In the summer air so moist and sweet
ย
And the people all come out to cheer
Rocks in the pathway break my skin
And thereโs honeysuckle on the faint breeze today
With every breath Iโm drawing in
ย
I want to cry out but I donโt scream and I donโt shout
And I feel so proud to be alive
And I feel so proud when the reckoning arrives
ย
Well, the crowds grow denser by the second
As we near the center of the town
And they dig a trench right in the main square right there
And they pick me up and throw me down
ย
And I start laughing like a child
And I mark their faces one by one
I mark their faces one by one
Transfigurationโs gonna come for me at last
And I will burn hotter than the sun
ย
Iโve waited so long and now I taste jasmine on my tongue
And I feel so proud to be alive
And I feel so proud when the reckoning arrives
ย
