Standin Against the Wall
In this world that I cannot see
In this system I cannot care for
In this life where I have no control
I feel myself back against the wall
What is that thing infront of me
Is it you? Or do you support it?
Drop your mask to the ground
Look in that mirror
I bet youll be afraid of what you see
Im standin all alone
Looking down the barrel of 9 rifles
Cigarette? Dont smoke.
Blindfold? Let the murders look in my eyes
This cold hard wall behind me presses close against my skin
The wall that has been built for lies
That is why we have to crash it to the ground
No stone apun another
The warden calls the gunmen to order
They hold their guns up high
Pointed straight to my brain
Im looking them in the eye
Mother Earth hold me now, I dont want to be afraid to die
I feel the life embrace my soul
It is the comfort I need
The warden calls the gunmen to aim
And I look them in the eye
With Mothers true embrace Im not afraid to die
Three falter and fall out
Theyre wishin they could fly
The warden begins to scream and shout
I fall to the ground as the bullets begin to fly
A quick foray that is soon over
No blood springs from my self
Cheers of friends fills the air
The Mother releases her true embrace
My life is a present from the Earth
Standin up, looking around, seein bodies on the ground
Of the nine four still stand
One kicks the wardens face in the sand
The other three huddle together
Tears streamin down their faces
I look them in the eyes
Look them in the souls
The blinding white sears my sight
I speak to them loudly and clear
My friends you are true spirits
Let us destroy this wall that stands
Bring peace and equality to our land
They force smiles, because they grieve
For the loss of their ignorance
My friends, I say, if we could
Our movement would be peaceful
But the system only cares
About one culture one life one person
The Mother reaches up to touch me
The time to fight is here
Cause in this world I cannot see
In this system I cannot care for
In this life where I have no control
My only choice, only one
Fight this war until the end
My end or its
The Mothers embrace is always with me
If I die for the movement
I die happy. I fight the war.
In this world that I cannot see
In this system I cannot care for
In this life where I have no control
I feel myself back against the wall
What is that thing infront of me
Is it you? Or do you support it?
Drop your mask to the ground
Look in that mirror
I bet youll be afraid of what you see
