lyrics

Simone on her deathbed lay & I am old
forgotten everything
once a place the cold winds could lay our bodies done unto the enemy born in wicked light of earth our
bumbling little orbits into everything
here we lived from soul to soul our words of love
were not of nothing

we were told as we were born we could be anything
at all the call of love would cause the eye
to see it.

The beauty-pangs the battle-fields the cause to believe in
the crowd disputing cast upon this stream of lies
o' son of anger son of light
see the sorrow everywhere the infiniteness
of resistance
can you hear the baby crying the moon up crowing:
"you were once this young"?

we were told...

...anyone with half a brain knows you kill the Fascists
they just come back again
do you wonder why we wandered here?
our freedom love is anywhere.
