lyrics

Arms raised through the clouds
Skyscrapers
Towering
Fire in her eyes
Mother Nature
Trembling
Bled till the well runs dry
Our faith in
Authority
A life run out of time
Its just your nature
It’s all over you
It’s all over me

And I’ll be damned if I end up just a name or a number
Buried my hands in the dirt feel the face another
Closing their eyes, give them peace give them love they’re my brothers
I can’t stand the thought of running away I’ve discovered
I’m a man and I bleed if you run me through
But understand that’s same as for me and for you
Your prayers don’t fly the way that bullets do
Behind blue eyes I know you see the truth
You can’t tell me we all live in the land of the free
When I’m in jail because I had the audacity
To beg for my life like I can’t breathe
Is this the price of white liberty
Keep tearing us down and we’ll stand up again and again
No matter how many times they say we can’t win
Fist held high like skyscrapers
Stand until they face us
Remember all of their names
And remember you made us dangerous
