Compositor: Casey Chandler

You can’t be lush like the forest
You can’t be calm like the breeze
When they come
They come to take everyone

You can’t run free like the river
You can’t shine bright as the Sun
When they come
They come to take everyone

You can’t feel safe in your body
When your soul screams for mercy
When they come
For everything and everyone

And the blood
The blood will run

You can’t be late to your funeral
You can’t be home in a foreign land
But they won’t
They won’t understand

And soon we’ll be history
And I hope that you were listening
And you don’t
Do as you’ve always done

Or the blood
The blood will run
