lyrics

No relief, we are the hunted now,
running with metal in our backs,
against cliffs they ensnare our loved ones,
no graves to mark where we fall.

They will speak for bravery
Butchers canonized as saints
Their fires brightened this dark age
A land manifested by destiny

They will sing of heroes
Faces of which look nothing like our own
In one hand a bible in the other
a treaty to overturn this land

No redemption is found unless we stand up ourselves
Nations and peoples remembering who we are

Rediscover honor in our blood
Recover dances that heal
Relearn our forgotten tongues
Rewrite chapters that have no ending

No ending

This chapter is not over
Villians, they still walk this earth
They assume that we cant remember
Some wounds we will never forget
These wounds you will never forget

From our bodies
Unsheath the slow knife

Untie knots that bind tomorrow
Undo blinds that hide yesterday
Unsheath the slow knife
Unsheath the slow knife

slow knife

It's dark, it's desperate, it's not always 4/4 timing. If you need some heaviness without getting super ignorant, Jukai. xPASSAGEx
