The Skyline Was Beautiful on Fire Songtext
Will the streets ever sleep with such deafening silence?
Today he tried to breath and it was taken away
The words echoe and the death can′t go away
"No crime was committed" was the rooster's crow
Just a collateral damage of an authoritarian blow
Excessive force
Bloodstained hands
Blind Justice. Killer Police
Guilty of standing up
Guilty of not being white
The lethal power of dominance
You either cave or die in the hands of the swine
Chokehold, and tear gas
"Black storms shake the air. Dark clouds blind us
Even though pain and death may await us [...]"
We′ll suck the air out of their lung
One spark at a time
I will set the flame. 'cos I can no longer breathe
Today he tried to breath and it was taken away
The words echoe and the death can′t go away
"No crime was committed" was the rooster's crow
Just a collateral damage of an authoritarian blow
Excessive force
Bloodstained hands
Blind Justice. Killer Police
Guilty of standing up
Guilty of not being white
The lethal power of dominance
You either cave or die in the hands of the swine
Chokehold, and tear gas
"Black storms shake the air. Dark clouds blind us
Even though pain and death may await us [...]"
We′ll suck the air out of their lung
One spark at a time
I will set the flame. 'cos I can no longer breathe
