Lower Empire |
| Bind the wrist, cut the tongue, call it Liberation |
| Bind the wrist, cut the tongue, call it Liberation |
| Invader, you dare make me a stranger |
| Invader, you brand me as a traitor |
| These borders were forged in loss |
| Painted with a martyr’s forgotten blood |
| Legions of stone infecting the land |
| Legions we carved into the palm of God’s hand |
| Stigmata cities stitched together with walls intent |
| On sanitizing the sedition of our dark traditions |
| We begin with the purest of intentions |
| Then fabricate the cruelest inventions |
| Interpret the subtext: «S — O — S» |
| Euthanized with euphemistic lies, populace of blank binary minds |
| Appetite for endless apathy, breathing in, in, insecurity |
| Until you see your reflection through the scope of a weapon |
| Nothing will ever change |
| A revolution stirs in the silence |
| The movement defies this negative space |
| I hear you through the noise |
| The truth that speaks in silence, scale the divides we devise |
| We locked out the world, but we’re locked inside |
| I hear you through the noise |
| The hope sung from the margins, my heartbeat just a step behind |
| I didn’t know your name, but I knew we were out of time |
| Nuclear families split apart like the atom |
| Demagogues proliferate the calloused grip of the state |
| The future asphyxiates under nativist suspicions |
| Insipid minds domestic fission |
| Bind the wrist, cut the tongue, call it Liberation |
| Bind the wrist, cut the tongue, call it Liberation |
| Thirteen, cold as a stillborn — wounds still warm in his chest Behold the |
| crimson lens, peer through the gaps in the flesh |
| Bullets raining from Babylon: the price of wealth |
| How can you resist this cycle if you can’t resist yourself? |
| What a world we knew |
| Before we fearfully withdrew |
| To our silent cells of solitude |
| But still, I hear you, I hear you |
| I hear you through the noise |
| The truth that speaks in silence, scale the divides we devise |
| We locked out the world, but we’re locked inside |
| I hear you through the noise |
| The hope sung from the margins, my heartbeat just a step behind |
| I didn’t know your name but I knew we were out of time |
