Thrash - Emery

Align yourself

With the freedmen

How can you deny this ground

You sold your flesh

Tell yourself that you’re a free man

Tear your vestments the slave becomes the crown

The thirst filled us the worst years of

Birth and death were held by threads

The turning set about the pages saw escape

The filth of years beneath our fingers washed away

Then gold within our ears drew figures and erased

The wretched lost their way;

they’re standing here today

Resist with wounded eyes, wide awake but dead inside

You’re breaking my heart;

You’re breaking my heart

Standing here the audience will tear me all apart

The hardened answers you planned fell apart

So blanket me, so you can see, you’ve broken my heart

So I will tell you one last thing, intertwine us for history

It will seal our fates, but I take my place

Your rigid throats proclaim the righteous written word

But you cut out the veins, and now you sleep with her

It’s dripping from your mouths;

It’s pouring from your skin

The lust of power takes you, and the stench has settled in

You have ground your teeth craving control

I see what’s waiting for me, and it’s beautiful so beautiful

I can’t stop these words they all just rush to me

But I guess I’ve lost my senses there’s just so much to see

Many times in my life I doubted your words

But here I am, and everything I’ve heard is true

And it’s you, so beautiful

Beautiful to me
