The divinations of a child
To join the black parade
Behead the king, the torture regime
As the symphony played
The Prophet, The Engineer
The Holy Spirit made
The Mojahed, the sinners and the dead
The hangman and the hanged
They cast my father out to sea
Our lifeboat shatters
Into a thousand splitters
ساز نو
آواز نو *x`xx

Chamelecón

The soccer fields
Used for public executions
While the river swells
Our storm generation
Blood begets blood
Blood begets blood
At night the demons
Dance on the rooftops
Spirits like whispers
Out of cedar trees
Blood begets blood
And becomes an ocean
Blood begets blood
Blood begets blood

Cave of the Patriarchs

In cave of the Patriarchs
A ghost town is Old Hebron
Gutted out by settler terror
We laugh failure
This joy they’ve taken away
Each street looms a sniper tower
Each move tracked by a racist shooter
We laugh failure
This joy they’ve taken away
These checkpoints grade humanity
The guys talk hip hop and family
Normal is our sanctuary

Primordial in their hope
Primordial myths of old
Fears that breed disarray
Escape to sea and disarray
When we are dead
Seek not our tomb in the earth
But find it in the hearts of humans *
Immortal I hear her voice
Immortal is a hostage child
Sun worn face in Istanbul
Myths of old are primordial
You’ll never understand what it is
To abandon your home
At the risk on never finding home again*
Grow the vine

Unceded traditional homelands of the
Council of Three Fires
Council of Three Fires
Ojibwe, Odawa, Potawatomi
Menominee, Miami and Ho-Chunk
You slept so long you forgot my face
Trail trees will help you find the way
Drunk their medicine waters
Keepers of fire
Keepers of fire
Faith, trade, healing
You slept so long you forgot my face
Trail trees will help you find the way
Breath in autodidactic learning
To shed these hegemonic spoils
And I see their blessed home
I see them live beyond grave
I see them sow this ground
Avow every sound
It will never be safe
It will never be alone
It will never be whole

Pastoral Monolith
01:24
|

The borders of dead empires
Dug deep into the dead earth
Like the lines scared into your face
Two days later we could still see the blast
Bombs in the market
White butterfly in her chest
He wore black docs
Hit this sword to dust

Black Creek / Red River
03:21
|

Black Creek
Dirt boots so bold, soot eye
The cup runs over with time
Dancing in the cave
New worlds in our darkened days
These mountains scream our name
Moments between long dead dreams
Extract carbon to taste
The wine answers to the pitted fates
Feet bound in mud and salt
Your love escapes Ghomara’s Gate
Red River
The devil came on a white horse
He rode past when she was a child
On the banks of the river Guadalquivir
White sinister face smiled with gold teeth
Took her hand carry the flood

Fashion a snake two-headed
Murderous heart and eyes
Trumpets of the last and wicked days
United Fruit Co.
Your conquest of iron
Tied bruised wrists and mass graves
Countless histories of death and shame
Trumpets of the last and wicked days
Trumpets of the last and wicked days

Sarcophagus
01:52
|

In the delusion of the dimmest light
Piss tears to worship at these distant shores
Brutal performance
On these stages and courts
Bees in your mouth
Flowers in your hair
|

Subordinate Terror
01:07
|

It was the time of the supremacy plague
Lay all to waste
White borrowed crown
You would say anything to call it your own
The light shines on you
The light shines on you

Cape Rerenga
03:42
|

She came to the northern cape
Where the sea and ocean meet
Where they greet you by singing of ancestors and earth
She tumbled in the waves
Still longing for so long ago
In her heart she feels it burning again
Bruised and struggling to breath
Dragged by the colonial current
But she found her voice
In treaties and dance to be restorative

Sword

Work don’t feel right
A husk in burning light
Still these towers grow
Gulf tastes dead against my lips
A thirst oil can never quench
We are all slaves of
We’re slaves of a better life
You called me "sir”
An honor I’ve never heard
Please remember my toll
We are all slaves of
We’re slaves of a better life
You don’t own the sea or sky

Pangaea Proxima
04:44
|
|||
We’re merely souls digging a hole
But again and again and again we hit bone
Sail the ship to ghosts
Seeking oblivion
Tectonic plate being
A slow slide of santons
Spinning again and again and again
Sail the ship to ghosts
Release me release me now
Pangaea
اعضای یکدیگرند
* که در آفرينش ز یک گوهرند
Gondwana and Laurasia
Collapse to ruins once more
