Lyrics
The ink wells have dried
Amidst a drought of words
Rusted swords jolt in scabbards
As pen punctures parchment skin
Heartfelt sentiments dehumanised
By Times New Roman calligraphy
Before text upon a screen becomes etched into stone
Let discourse rise from lungs
Still able to breathe
Before a plaque is adjoined to a marble monument
Seek souls in shimmering eyes
Still able to weep
Infected with hate
Let the pathogen die
Without a host
The pathogen dies
Leave your sad slogans at the door
If you wish to enter our establishment
You’re then welcome to dance into the night
The only rhythm that you need is that of your beating heart
I will stand in the streets
Form a human barrier
Feet glued to pavement
Landlocked deep sea diver
Creature of your environment, you were not born this way
No new born babe has this capacity for hate
Heal, you must heal
The last bridge is ablaze and river below runs cold
Will it take death to see that we are all one
May we embrace our brothers and sisters before the fall
As the flames of hatred spit lost into the night
If this bridge falls, the fall will kill us all
