Weapons of Refusal

Listen on Apple Music

歌词

Try to capture
While clutching at your chest
A scrap or fragment of your hope
Lost long ago
Blistering palms
And your knuckles pale, spectral
New death, born timid and companionless
Hunting immunity
♪
Everyone ceasing their quivering
A desperate and dying wish
Heartbreak to strangle complacency
And banish all prior dusks
♪
Gasping lungs beg for the fires to cauterize
♪
You huddled in trenches
From the glare of derision
In the jaws of disfavor
Each a daughter of contempt
Who would unsheathe in vengeance
One thousand blades glinting
And bury all cycles of abuse, uneulogized
♪
This, the only promise
There will be no appeal for your mercy
Sick with their pride they will writhe
In the gaze of their fathers and howl
Crushed by the weight of their misdeeds
No one ever mended
Nothing ever reconciled
So sings the choir
♪
No one ever mended
Nothing ever reconciled
So sings the choir
♪
Boundless ruin will find your captors
Crescent in you
Glittering torch of those disfigured
With fury renewed
Expel every deceit you swallowed
Choke not on their histories
But flourish breathing free air once again
You will undo their works
You will make cinders of their cities
Baring your teeth
Wielding the weapons of refusal
Matching their violence
♪
Matching their violence
