lyrics

There’s a time for reflection,
There’s a time for a fight.
Never wise to be drinking
When the norms turn to shite.
But the halls echo loudly
With the stomping of boots,
With the fluttering flags,
And the voices from suits.

Crying out in their grievance
Lashing out in their fear
The time of the white man is ending

And the plastic excuse
Flat, baroque and below
In a prism of lies
Where there’s nothing to know.
So, it’s wrong to scorn fascists?
And corruption success?
The black man a racist,
And the white man oppressed?

There’s a base line of suffering
Every human must bear.
Of course, all lives matter
And, of course, we all share
In the fear of the living,
In the cold of the grave.
But the time of the white man
Washed away in a wave.

From a deep, open wound
From the cold, angry sea,
The color of blood.
The temptation to flee
Away from the tide
That submerges our breath,
Drowning the sins
Unresolved with our death.
