You can't be lush like the forest
You can't be calm like the breeze
When they come
They come to take everyone
You can't run free like the river
You can't shine bright as the sun
When they come
They come to take everyone
You can't feel safe in your body
When your soul screams for mercy
When they come
For everything and everyone
And the blood
The blood will run
You can't be late to your funeral
You can't be home in a foreign land
But they won't
They won't understand
And soon we'll be history
And I hope that you were listening
And you don't
Do as you've always done
Or the blood
The blood will run
