History Repeats Itself

I came here from the other side
I came here from the other side
This is the only way history doesn’t repeat itself
We don’t raise our dead, they lie down as witnesses
Martyr for what? So your pocket rests more full!
What terrorism does a child possibly know?
I came here from the other side
I’m letting you know the dead don’t forgive you
Whether lifetime of poverty, bombed overseas, medical neglect
We don’t forget, we don’t raise our dead,
They lie down as witnesses

Money grows like moss, castle shell
If it’s around long enough, it's considered natural
We hear you, we see you,
Your crimes don’t go unnoticed
We hear you, we see you,
Your crimes don’t go unnoticed
You say merit brought you jewels made of blood
You alone write in the law of God,
Godly are you? Rising in and out of favor -
You are just a cockroach
Scattering shiny nothings across a screaming land
We hear you, we see you,
Your crimes don’t go unnoticed
We hear you, we see you,
Your crimes don’t go unnoticed
Godly, are you? Greedy aren’t you?

Wickedly
Shadow swept
Body double
Checkmate to memory
Remember where they are now
What power they allow
Oh anger, burning eye
The gleam, the promise
Is all you disavow
I hate that I love you now
I can’t give you what you want
I’m not indebted
I made myself, I’m hard to please
I made myself, I’m hard to please
Mother, Father -
Heed the call
It’s time to hunt
Take what you will
Don’t forget to feed the vultures
Mother, Father-
You gave your older one
To a vicious man
Time is not on the side
Of children who won’t understand
Teeth emptied out the mouth of
Those who speak badly of elders
Rest assured you did your best
Rest assured you gave them grace
Hush now
Take what you like
Leave the rest to God
Mother, father -
The second child
Her heart is not well
She is sick, she is grieving
You have time to bury time,
Mend over
Belief is what you desire
Snip and smear fate stringed liars
linearity now still
on your side
Mother, father
Mother, father
