dogtooth & nail - rising كلمات الأغنية

there’s a red thread that’s been unraveling for years
its spool sits upon a high table of high people and fine wines
and they’re dining not dying by hands that think they’re gods
i could never take a job that required i decided when to take a life
on the streets…

{chorus}
they won’t see me like they see you
they see you rising
they won’t see you like i see you
i support you rising

fed up f-cking fed up
of aching hearts and wilting family trees
tied up tightly tied up
by habitual harm not intended for me
listen not to my light skin
but to the voices that speak of systems of deceit
reclaim, take back everything
fighting against a nation’s grave history  and i’ll stand, i’ll stand back if that’s where
you need me to be while you
speak out, speak out loudly
i’ll be an echo in this vast sea

{chorus}
they won’t see me like they see you
they see you rising
they won’t see you like i see you
i support you rising

the laws that let them stop and frisk
pull their guns out and k!ll like this
in the name of safety, it’s racist and obvious
and the violence that they’re feeding you
about property means nothing to me
lives taken, never gonna rest
but ignoring this you’re just perpetuating
they try to instill that some lives don’t matter
and for those lives it’s getting harder to breathe
admit that you path is different
don’t just talk, i want to see you in the streets

{chorus}
they won’t see me like they see you
they see you rising
they won’t see you like i see you
i support you rising

there’s a movement that’s been unraveling for years
it won’t be whispered but shouted so the highest tables can hear
and this red thread forms a written history of names
rest in power
we’ll lock arms and break chains
sometimes we can’t walk in each other’s shoes  but i promise i’ll walk next to you  (x2)
even if they won’t, even if they won’t…
