lyrics

Light a candle for the lives lost
Dog a grave for the facts glossed
Fissuration of our timeline
Misinformation for our memorializing shrines
Sing a song for the Pacifist
Clear the way for the Capitalist
Charred screams from the women's lips
Say their names and then ask
How long will this carry on?
Distraction weakens opposition

Fingers pointed by the more corrupt
Fennel kisses for the lives snuffed
Hold our breath til the smoke clears
Suffocating for five hundred years
Sing a song for the Pacifist
Pave the way for the Capitalist
Charred screams from the witches' lips
Say their names and then ask
How long will this carry on?
Cooperate with historical obfuscation

Building blocks of the modern day
Won't accept it's the civil way
Waking hours like a bad dream
What we get is a pyramid scheme
Sing a dirge for the Pacifist
Bow down to the Capitalist
Charred screams from the women's lips
Say their names and then ask
How long will this carry on?
Complicit in our mollification

------------------------------

#SayHerName for the Black and Indigenous women & gender variant people slaughtered as witches for resisting the violence of capitalism, silenced by the brutality of colonialism, victims of white supremacy.
