lyrics

O mother please forgive us
We've made you our own grave
Old tyrants cling to branches
Stuck waiting til they're swept away

Marrow stripped from the bone
Scar tissue stretching miles
Too hurt to fully heal
We're scrambling to stay alive

Poison hangs in the air
A constant symbol of our hate
Thick plastic clogs the planet's pores
Hope we all don't suffocate

Water levels on the rise
Wildfires sweep through the trees
Ghost planet's ragged breathing
We’re shivering in the breeze

But you gotta have hope
You gotta have hope
Hope that the tyrants' hands
Grown fat, slower than your own

Ash in our lungs and in our eyes
Reclaim our home with every swing
Shrouded in hydrocarbon smog
They'll never see us coming

(Jesse Matthewson)

They want us all to pay
A cost too high to bear
Your home is burning to the ground
They want you not to care

Keep that guillotine sharp
