Bloody Sundays

from Letters on Extinction's Piece by Speech Act

/

lyrics

Unwarranted deaths on my land again
Why do they keep doing this?

Streets painted as a bloody mess
Of my children—those made speechless
Conflicts with the gas of death
My surfaces losing breath

[Chorus]
Burn your oppressive synthetic history
Start again
My limbs will rise from ashes
Against those abusing my lamb/land

Their world, I, won’t last forever
Their Mom, I, won't last forever

Stand together to stop the sanctioned murders
Stand together to stop the sanctioned murders

And then we’ll listen, praise them, their lives matter
More than what you think
More than what you say
More than property
The death of all you see

I, the roots, am sick of witnessing bloody Sundays
Say the names of your murdered

[lost in the cacophony of names and voices]
<{(Your silence approves their violence)}>

One long Sunday extending through my bark and leaves
Say their names before they’re lost
in the fires of histories

Say their fucking names
Killed without shame
You only see the flames
But now we’ll listen, praise them, their lives matter
More than what you think
More than what you say
More than property
The death of all you see

Burn your oppressive synthetic history
Start again
My limbs will rise from ashes
Against those abusing my lamb/land
