Lyrics
now the debris settled from the blast of rage
body built back from a scribble in ash
now the black gold gilted the lonesome grey
see a man in the mirror of a certain age
certain man did never make it this far
give thanks and praise
here we are
in love and rage
here we are
mind been a medley of men
been a garrison for demons
cacophony of long lost friends
on return to forgotten ends
finding seasons passed had them treason
the whiles and whens
betray them essence
hollow in presence
puff chest but aint nothing
but air when i'm ere
air when i'm ere
just air
ring a cypher of sharers for to practice care
what if man up was a hand up?
let me hold you til
the suffer suffocate
and the beast we kill
what if
fly fly my friend
your memory still running on a flame
beloved if they ever come again
leave em low and looking ashy where they stand
your tail feathers and wing span
beating against the pain
rise rise majestic in skies
guardian to our hearts as we try
when us here living feeling spent
and through that empty still gotta make rent
lift us to ease as we cry as we breathe
between you and me
this hope brought a hardship to knees
put a fist in their palm
led a march under feet
was a voice ripped hoarse
resignation, disbelief
blind rage
all the stages of grief
evening time bloodied the horizon
clouds bruised purple
and sirens
had us all with hearts in our throats
under tongues a well of
promises and prayers for our yolk
like be free to be
be free
may our children's children never have to pray
to no white god for protection on their way
never hide inside from somebody else's fear
forced to bend words to a disregarding ear
let us know now and never once forget
we the seed of survival so honour and respect
all life givers through our living and our joy
rage against a bad heart and Babylon destroy
