lyrics

I’ll keep the promise in the last breath of martyrs…these feet are heavy but they’ll move on…from broken limbs to broken halos…these words of war become words of shame…and I still scream for days of sun…the trigger pulled…the horror echoes…where is the ease I need to feel…where is the faith I need to murder…does terror rule complete…hope kills fear…hope kills fear…the breath of life…hope kills fear…turning back into golden shells…we close our hearts and minds…but keep flying if you rise because this beast will never rest…one thousand times the devil lied…my complacency…burn it to the sky…“the chains of sha’tan were not made that strong”*…their steel rots…it’s made to be broken…to be broken
*Lyric taken from Lauren Hill’s “Miseducation of Lauren Hill”

My People... Hold On
by Zulu

Wonderful dramatic opening, the voice of a black woman in all her honesty, vulnerability and openess. And then one of the fiercest tracks of Zulu, total hardcore: 'Now they are through with me', full of twists and turns, and suddenly ending in a kind of soul-track, brilliant! This is 21st century music at it's best. The end lecture is dramatic and disturbing, spoken again by a black woman. Makes you think. Hesperus
