You will have the ground

The earth the sky the water

You will have the throne

The holiness and power

———

Say you love us all

Puppet us like dolls

Say you need us to

Leave our families and work for you

———

We will have the work

Obedient and grateful

Smile back at each smirk

I’d rather you be hateful

———

Say you love us all

Puppet us like dolls

Say you need us to

Leave our families and work for you

———

I don’t care about your economy

You cannot keep extracting my life away from me

You think that you are not a bourgeoisie

And yet you own the smallest sand grain and tallest tree

———

Say you love us all

Puppet us like dolls

Say you need us to

As long as you notice

I'm hoping that you'll keep your heart open

I'll keep mine open too

If you don't ask, I won't tell

Just know that, just know that

It all hurts, it all hurts just the same

Something is wrong, I can't explain

Everything changed when the birds came

You'll never know what they might do if they catch you too early

We need to fly ourselves before someone else tells us how

Something is off, I feel like prey, I feel like praying

As long as you notice

I'm hoping that you'll keep your heart open

I'll keep mine open too

So, so, I'll probably take you aside

And tell you what's on my mind

But you, you'll just keep it inside

Probably tell me that you're alright

Something is wrong, I can't explain

Everything changed when the birds came

Deny, deny, deny

Say it’s not genocide

Say God gave you this land

It’s obvious you lie

Deny, deny, deny

Performatively cry

Say we don’t understand

It’s obvious you lie

Buried in rubble the children lay dead

You block all their access to safety and bread

And yet from the rubble the truth will shine through

When all of your power is taken from you

———

Build walls, build walls, build walls

In your hearts and your souls

On lands you seek to own

All that you built will fall

Build walls, build walls, build walls

Build prisons harsh and tall

Take children from their homes

All that you built will fall

———

Buried in rubble the children lay dead

You block all their access to safety and bread

And yet from the rubble the truth will shine through

When all of your power is taken from you

———

From the river to the sea

All the people will be free

And every single child will be

Safe and loved and full and happy

———

Buried in rubble the children lay dead

You block all their access to safety and bread

And yet from the rubble the truth will shine through

When all of your power is taken from you

God bless the poor, God bless the workers

God bless the young, God bless the lovers

God bless the Global South

All the nations we hold down

And God bless the hope they hold together

———

I believe in love

For all the people of

This whole world in poverty

Across every boundary

Faith, race, nationality

Undying camaraderie

———

Show us the way, give us the power

To show respect, to give them honour

To uplift the Global South

And everyone who is held down

Show us the way to fight the tower

———

I believe in love

For all the people of

This whole world in poverty

Across every boundary

Faith, race, nationality

Undying camaraderie

———

Something is deeper than our bones and system

Something is greater than knowledge and wisdom

It’s in every person who knows toil or hunger

The Parent, the Secret, the Father and Mother

———

I believe in love

For all the people of

This whole world in poverty

Across every boundary

Faith, race, nationality

Thank you Global North for consuming us whole

Thank you Global North for eating our souls

Thank you Global North for stealing our lives

So happy to serve you, to please you we strive

———

The waves crash in the sand, like a storm that’ll break any second

There’s a hunger in the land, and a reckoning still to be reckoned

———

Thank you Global North for breaking apart

All of our families dear to our heart

Thank you for giving us even less rights

Telling us we don’t know what’s wrong and what’s right

———

The waves crash in the sand, like a storm that’ll break any second

There’s a hunger in the land, and a reckoning still to be reckoned

———

We came from the womb of the goddess

We’ll return there after all of this

———

The waves crash in the sand, like a storm that’ll break any second

There’s a hunger in the land, and a reckoning still to be reckoned

You say I'm a monster, a demon 

All I am is a product of your system 

You say I'm a vampire, a zombie 

All I am is the monster you made me 

———

You're always first 

The first to fill

The first to take all that there is thus 

First to kill 

———

You're always first 

To walk away

If I'm not useful to you then I'm 

Thrown away

———

You're always first 

To get your love 

And everyone else around is 

Deprived of 

———

Deprived of life 

Deprived of power 

The material reality of the masses that 

Beg and cower 

Deprived of love

And of importance 

The metaphysical reality of the unquantifiable will be your 

Portent 

———

You say I'm a monster, a demon 

All I am is a product of your system 

You say I'm a vampire, a zombie 

All I am is the monster you made me 

———

I'm always last 

To get my share 

And you say you love me but I know 

All your cares

———

I'm always last 

To get the gifts 

That your harsh Creator bestows on 

Those He lifts 

———

Your Creator 

He can be killed 

And thus His death will also kill all 

He did build 

———

He built your system

He built your hate 

The material reality of the masses that 

All negate

The idea that 

His will is good

The metaphysical reality of the unquantifiable does what it 

All should 

———

You say I'm a monster, a demon

All I am is a product of your system 

You say I'm a vampire, a zombie 

All I am is the monster you made me 

———

What do we do when we're not equal?

What do we do when we're so fearful?

You use our terror to control us 

But really it's you who should fear us 

———

What will we do to make the poor win? 

To make the rich have to face their sin? 

You'll never learn that we're all equal 

And if you can't learn, we'll turn tables 

———

What will we do for all the children 

Who deserve all the rights you've taken?

We will raise them up from the deep pit 

And then it's you who we'll throw in it 

———

You say I'm a monster, a demon 

All I am is a product of your system 

You say I'm a vampire, a zombie 

All I am is the monster you made me 

———

If you want me to be a monster 

I will so gladly burn you with my fire 

If you want to be the most holy
