Текст песни Ashes (2021) - Anubis

A crime of deadly passion
An act of stark oppression
On display for all to see and
Going viral instantly

Staring at the outside world
Like creatures in a cage
Waiting for the moment to release their rage

Somewhere
I have heard the words
"I cannot breathe" before
Keep your calls for civility
There is no choice, this is our voice, so burn it to the ground

This path is unsustainable
Justice is unobtainable
Decades spent inside a dream
About to wake up in a scream

A population lathed in hate
Told one too many times
"You're to believe my words alone and not your eyes"

Three months
Locked in quarantine
Pressure overflows
One small spark is all it takes
To trigger this, configure this, and burn it to the ground

Violence and bloodshed
Bursting like a warhead
Flying past the point of no return
Staring down the riot guns walking through the fire

Violence and bloodshed
Brutal, dire and widespread
And the day has come for you to learn
When everything around us has fallen to the fire

We will rise from the ashes

Protesters, they are marching
Police are on the line
Attacking with their batons, mace and tasers

This fight is escalating
The troops are in the street
But the fires in the night have just begun

The third precinct is burning
There's tear gas in the air
Police arresting journalists and gazers

The president is lying
The talking heads are bought
Militias armed, they fire and they run

Kingdoms
They are crumbling
As ashes rain from the sky
A year from now with verdict in
Guilty, guilty, guilty is the charge that we have won

Violence and bloodshed
Bursting like a warhead
Flying past the point of no return
Staring down the riot guns walking through the fire

Violence and bloodshed
Brutal, dire and widespread
And the day has come for you to learn
When everything around us has fallen to the fire

We will rise from the ashes
