UPRISING
« I don’t want you to think, just consume !
You’re my meat, the earth’s my junkyard. »
I was born in a moment of crisis,
I knew I was living a lie.
Saw the flames, no matter who did this,
The point is not “who“ but “why”.
Why do you choose to suffocate?
In the only place you can breathe.
Why would you talk about the future?
As you started to kill the breed.
And the floods, and the storms,
And the fires, and the quakes.
Yet they stand right in front of us
And they tell us, we can live
If we change, if we organize,
If we save, if we believe.
While they stole
And they wasted,
Dressed up need,
Naked greed.
« I don’t want you to think, just consume !
You’re my meat, the earth’s my junkyard. »
And they keep telling to my face to still believe,
So they keep on telling to my face to still believe!
Burn the bridge, keep the kids suffocating.
Let these flames rise, burn them to the ground!
Bleeding seas kill the trees, in our gardens,
And still we dance while it’s falling away now
I will die in a moment of silence,
I come and I go in a sigh,
I’ll forget all the pain and the violence,
I’ll forget everything I denied.
And the floods, and the storms,
And the fires, and the quakes,
They will sweep my existence,
When the mother kill the kid.
Burn the bridge, keep the kids suffocating.
Let these flames rise, burn them to the ground!
Bleeding seas kill the trees, in our gardens,
And still we dance while it’s falling away now.
Uprise! Cross your heart and hope to die!
Uprise!
It’s in the air, it’s in the air, it’s in the air …
Can you feel the pressure? Can you feel?
Burn the bridge, keep the kids suffocating.
Let these flames rise, burn them to the ground!
Bleeding seas kill the trees, in our gardens,
And still we dance while it’s falling away now
Uprise! Cross your heart and hope to die!
Uprise!
